Standing over 250 feet high, let's just say this brought a whole new element to the weekend. I did not have an easy time up there and, yes, my steps were very small and my knees buckled several times. This is a view of the whole east side of the track. The race was actually going on at this moment. |
East side of the track zoomed in, right after the Senna esses, Turns 6-10. |
Looking through the transparent surface, I see our hospitality suite directly below us. Great, so if someone falls through here they'll land right in my caviar. I don't think readers can appreciate how dizzy with vertigo I was at this point. |
Turn 1 doesn't look so high from up here, as we see Schumacher exit the turn. |
This is pretty much how the race finished, with Lewis Hamilton squeaking by points-leader Vettel. This keeps Alonso's championship hopes alive for next week's finale. |
My personal farewell to the F1 Master, Michael Schumacher. Thank you for years of fun viewing and inspiration, I am honored to have witnessed such talent. |
I think she'll be sad Michael is retiring, too. I wonder if she realizes she'd be worth more had she had the tattoo artist include the Marlboro livery on the chassis and wings. |
