In my last post I said that I was
planning to visit the Dubai Autodrome in Dubai's Motorcity.
It's a track that hosts an A1 Grand
Prix every year. The Autodrome was also going to host winter testings
for Formula One in 2014 but at the end Yas Marina got the honours.
I went there yesterday but it was
closed and looked kind of spooky if you ask me.
So that plan kind of failed but anyways I took these pictures from the outside:
On the other side of the road I saw
another track where people were driving go-karts.
I took several pictures but I can post
those some other time when I get back to Europe.
After all of this I was a bit disapointed
that I couldn't get inside the Autodrome area. So I jumped in a cab
and went to Dubai Mall (the biggest shopping mall in the world).
At the mall I saw a big screen saying
that Romain Grosjean is going to be there at 6:00PM.
The time was 6:45. Just my luck! So I
couldn't visit the Autodrome and now this..
I continued to walk through the mall
and stopped when I saw a small stage. There was a guard all by
himself clearly waiting for something to happen. I asked him if there
was anything going on and he told me that Lewis Hamilton is coming to
the mall in 30 minutes.
It was going to be a short interview
and then they had this Blackberry thing where people could send their
questions to Lewis with their mobilephones.
Of course I waited the 30 minutes and I
was standing almost at the front. Here's a picture:
Lewis also took a couple of pictures of the crowd, so if you see a picture like that on his twitter it is
possible that I am in that picture.
I filmed the whole thing with my Canon
600D in FullHD. The footage is quite long so I can't post it right now
from the hotel. I will do that later when I get back home and maybe
edit it a little as well.
So that was it for today and I'll get
back to you tomorrow with new updates from Dubai.
