Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

I am not a regular follower of F1 racing.  But, today happened to see the Abu Dhabi GP in TV.  Incidentally this was the inaugural race in Abu Dhabi.  I was watching the race by around 3:00 pm.  I doubted whether that was a live relay.  Because,  Abu Dhabi is on the east direction and it must have been at least 5 pm then.  Later realized that the race started at 5:00 pm local time and this was the first race with the flood lights on all around the circuit.  I am amazed at seeing the circuit.  In each and every corner and wherever you see, you could see the richness.  The bluish structures across the circuit, waters with boats parked nearby the circuit, artful blue and white painting on the areas nearby the race track - what a view!  And with the helicopter following the car through the entire lap, the aerial view was spectacular.  Surprisingly, they have a hotel built across the track (that bluish structure!).  The residents of the hotel can see the racing at the comfort of their rooms.
