1Malaysia F1 Team

Recently Malaysians are made known that the country will be coming up with an F1 team next year and that it is the first time in the history of Malaysia that we will have our own team. To have an F1 driver competing in an F1 race is not an unusual thing anymore as we had sent Alex Yoong to compete in F1 race a few years ago under the umbrella of Minardi F1 team.

Most Malaysians gave a positive feedback on the action of having our own F1 team as the realization of the idea will give greater impact to the economy and growth for every aspects of the industry from the specialization of technicalities in automotive and motor sports as we have many local higher education promoting and offering courses on automotive engineering and also motor sports.In terms of economy it will promote the country around the world a symbol that even though we might be one of the small countries in the world but the driving power and forces of the economy of intelligence and capability of the people is the same as the 1st world country and thus and idol to other developing countries around the world.

But, will the outcome of this ideas realization will be a successful or another unfinish project in this midst of economic crisis, and of unstable local political scene. Let truth be told, this is the reality facing Malaysia. But with the people in the F1 team of the mastermind group such as Dato Sri Tony Fernandes and other giants such as the Naza group and also Petronas such pessimism is just a pinch of a salt and that I believe we can strive and ;let the best be out of it. Its a simple thing in life whatever bumps along this road of life always look on the bright side. Some pessimist said when they say the ad of the vacancy of 1Malaysia F1 team, they said 'do you think there are chances of getting any of these one post in the team? this is just a standard procedure, they will definately be recruiting people within their network of contacts,people like us, even if you're a graduate from MIT or Harvard, do you think you can get that even provided you are excellent person in your field ?

That, my fellow friends and Malaysians , is the realities of today. Lets even assume that the reality is not like what they claimed but then the realities in Malaysia had shaped their mindset into thinking that way. But then again, who are we, a normal ordinary person to gave such impact to the industry as whole. To be what we claimed democracy to be.

Drivers of the F1 team are still not confirmed as they are still in process of selecting on one of the current F1 drivers.

The 1Malaysia F1 team is a symbol of unity of the nation. How great that the idealism of the Prime Minister's Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak be implemented on this kind of segment of motor sports to show that 'we are serious ' in 1Malaysia concept and another prove is by naming the nations F1 team 1Malaysia Lotus . A symbol that exhibits the country's seriousness in showing that the world we Malaysians regardless of race, religion, age , background, unite as one.

With this implementation of the 1Malaysia F1 team, will the Malaysians have greater chance of to have see the team live on action at the track despite the high cost of getting to the Sepang F1 track? SIC had lowered the price tickets some time ago but would that be sufficient to give a chance to the people of Malaysia from walks of life to enjoy the sport and feel that we really belong and that by the name 1Malaysia F1 team. It might seem affordable for the people to buy the tickets of the low prices ones -definitely not grandstands, but the highway toll and fuel of getting to the track might be a burden to some people of the lower income group which they want to bring their family, kids to enjoy the sports. Motorsports as most of us know is an expensive hobby in general, and most of the people who are really into the motor sports are of middle to high income group, which they can afford to mods their 'cars to super-kapow power cars', or owning a sports car of Japanese and continentals, but think again, what will be of the lower income group? they can just only enjoy the sports on tv. There even might be a kid from the lower income group who dreams of having to see F1 in live in front of them , but they, might not have the chance to do it because simply they or their parents can't afford to bring them to watch live at the track. I believe with the good governance of the government, governing body, and sponsors of the 1Malaysia can do something about this matter in hand.

Leave the highs of making profits and power, sometimes we just need to pause in this life , think... and making this life, this soil of Malaysia a better place to be and that love..is life, life is love. And everything comes high above.. without His blessings we are just tiny super duper creature of His creations. :)

Basically the implementation of 1Malaysia F1 team is a good move, empowering knowledge of the industry for the nations sake, enhancing growth of the economy from every aspect of industry, creating more jobs and opportunities for the people, making this our country one of the most respectable countries in the world. More over is the advantages to the sponsoring organization such as Air Asia, Naza group, and Petronas empowering their branding, strenghthening their track records and attracting more foreign investors and vast client based.

well then, there is a never ending that lies ahead in this journey. lets wait and see what's in store for this 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team.

All for One and One for All. To 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team. Cheers!!!
