Witnessing Formula One LIVE

It was an awesome experience to witness the Formula 1 LIVE in India at Noida, year 2011. And what more could one ask for but to watch the race from the Grand stands. Right from the practice run on Friday, the qualifying run on Saturday and the big Race day, the three day bonanza was worth the money- Rs. 35,000 (530 USD). Getting more than just a glimpse of all those lovely F1 cars just made my day. And to my final surprise, the icing on the cake. I got a glimpse of the famous Hollywood comedian Mr. Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean, who was Mr. Lewis Hamilton's guest for this race.
