2011 Formula 1 in Suzuka 2

We were very impressed the powerful performance with the real engine sounds.

Fortunately, we had met some drivers in the morning when they were going to go to the circuit from the hotel where they had stayed.

I’ve attached the better photos of ‘Jarno Trulli’ on his bike and ‘Fernando Alonso’.
