Day one, practice day, at the circuit was a bit slow, but didn’t disappoint. Fast cars and high rev hospitality made for a wonderful afternoon under the Catalàn sun. A trip to the Red Bull garage was quite an experience. Check out the photos below.

Saturday was just a hint of what Sunday had waiting. I made my way to the general admission hills to get a feel for true motorsport passion and emotion. The Spanish fans clearly out numbered the rest in favor of their fellow countryman, Fernando Alonso. Yet, a wide variety of flags blew throughout the cool breeze as air horns and cheers competed with the whine of the F1 cars.

Saturday night I got a chance to check out Carpe Diem Lounge. I hold CDL responsible for sleeping in a bit, causing me to miss my ride. Thankfully I got a chance to take the train with the rest of the fans…quite an experience! The race was great as Red Bull’s Mark Webber finished third behind Brawn GP’s Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. Sebastian Vettel had a great race as well, finishing fourth.

After the race, I escaped back to the hotel to try to rest a bit, but I wasn’t too successful. Before I could even grab a bite to eat, it was time to head over Amber Lounge. Wow! What a party…nothing else to say.
