F1 Renault racing car

This F1 Renault racing car was on display in front Marriot Hotel during the F1 season in Singapore last month. There were endless streams of people taking photos of it, hence it was tough getting these clear shots of the car without having strangers blocking the view of the car.

This direct side view shot was the hardest photo to take. You can see someone standing at the far corner of the photo, but at least the view of the car is unblocked in this shot! I nearly gave up since it was not a Lamborghini, but a 'by-the-way' kind of photo to take.

I didn't really get into the F1 craze last month despite my fondness and admiration for Lamborghinis and fast supercars in general. I do not fancy race cars that are shaped like F1 cars. They kinda resemble geckos sans the 'tail'. I know the design is for aero-dynamics reasons but I still do not like it. Nevertheless, these photos of a real F1 car still make good souvenirs of the first F1 race event held in Singapore!
