Went to the concert - was taken from one end of the park to the other by golf buggy driven by Souren - I have an Armenian, Cypriot friend - so recognised the name - and he drove in the dark like he was Daniil Kyvat - luckily - he didn't hit any one - though he saved battery - by turning off the head lights when there were fewer pedestrians
SC and her friends were gyrating to electronic music and I drank a beer and felt tired and drunk within seconds
I just got up and danced and had a great time..
SC took our proper camera and - as requested - got some good photos - Andrei and Olga who were sat with them - took a group selfie
In the picture above - taken from the 'gods' in the main grandstand - overlooking the start / finish lines - I was trying to call SC to say I can see her..I was behind the one way glass to the left of her left hand ..above the red Ferrari Pit Wall - where the left hand DHL ad runs along the building... She never could see me ...even if I pressed right up to the glass.
Too 'cold' in the grandstand ...

The Torch
When I started to flag - I suggested going home and was pleasantly surprised to hear no objections.... The trains were still running, but Vita - the blond lady - insisted that her husband - Vitali - was a 'taxi driver' and would give us a lift home... that he was waiting for us - and had been 'working ' in the area...OK, I thought - but I wondered how we'd all fit in ...
The 'taxi ' turned out to be a new Mercedes S-class ''7 million roubles'' = 100k USD - and Vitaly had been taking VIPs back to the airport from the circuit - only 7km..I was watching Ted Kravitz ''notes from the pit-lane on UK SKY Sports F1 -this morning- and saw Vitali's taxi parked up at the Paddock exit - '222' in the reg...
SC suggested to Vitali that I had some good music on my phone - and we 'bluetoothed' it to the audio system and were having a great time - when the traffic police pulled us over for a check ..... I expect the 'night club music level' bass booming might have been a magnet...
Documents produced and cleared - we were on our way home...We crashed into the sack..
WHAT a DAY ...
