Future One

In the aF1ermath of the "most exciting to happen in Singapore this year", I have ten suggestions to make:

1. After the race is over, have a charity race where people race on the actual circuit in cars powered by alternative fuels - solar, water, human, human waste, whatever. All proceeds will go to offsetting the cost of oil.

2. Given the perfect storm of morning traffic incidents that took place on 26 Sep (F1 road diversion, heavy rain, trains not working on the EW line), the organisers should give people bicycles to congest the pavements and have boats from West Coast Park and Bedok Jetty to bring workers into the CBD.

3. Open up both sides of Anderson Bridge to give Hamilton a chance to overtake everyone ahead of him.

4. Put some colour on the grey boundary walls. Think advertising man.

5. Get Khong Guan, Arnold's Chicken, Eu Yang Sang, Yeo Hiap Seng, Lee Kum Kee, Mustafa and Hyflux premium spaces to advertise on. Like on UOB and OCBC buildings. Money shots baby.

6. Let Ah Bengs and Ah Lians live out their The Fast And The Furious fantasies by allowing Evo vs Type R races on the circuit as a build up to the actual F1 race.

7. Allow Kacang Puteh men to troll the grounds to sell-in the local peanut flavour.

8. Have a stylist decide what the PM should wear when he gives the trophy away.

9. Wouldn't it be cool if the F1 cars could do the ECP-AYE-KJE-BKE-SLE-CTE-PIE loop? At 300km/h no less.

10. Re-employ the Grid Girls as steel fence dancers, and replace local commentators with those that actually have a passion for the race and know what's going on beyond how beautiful everything is.

*snort* oh yah, no. 9 is 'brilliant' idea... we'll have to do a 'Beijing'. No soul can drive his/her car on the roads during F1 week.
