I was very fortunate to be a guest of TAG Heuer at the Vodafone Mercedes McLaren suite at the Singapore Grand Prix. The Paddock Club as always is an enjoyable experience, especially with the weather in Singapore. Both Vodafone drivers did well, with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button placing 3rd and 4th respectively.

Here's a short clip of the action.

One of the highlights was the Jean-Georges suite, with terrific food by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. It was open to all Paddock Club guests and it seemed at times as if all guests were eating in there.

I forgot to take more food photos

After the race, Vodafone driver and TAG Heuer ambassador Jensen Button, who qualified fourth that night, came to the suite for a short press conference. He was subsequently mobbed by fans. But another lucky guest of TAG Heuer who won a TAG Heuer watch that night managed to get Mr Button's signature on her prize.

This entire report was photographed with an iPhone 4. It explains the poor quality of some of the photos, but the iPhone 4 is a very capable phone camera.

And finally party afterwards...
