Yas Marina F1 at Abu Dhabi

Was at Yas Marina circuit today to watch F1 qualifying.
Excellent track, very clean, well organised and 100x times better than Silverstone.







The Daytona looks amazing under sunset

Yes it was a lifetime experience. Don’t think I’ll be allowed to do it again.
Infact my home country Vietnam will be hosting a GP race in 2020 so maybeee!
