The speed is here in the shape of the F1 cars, the rock ‘n roll is all present and correct thanks to the F1 Rocks event, but drugs? Surely not, in Singapore where, on landing with any airline, passengers are warned that drug smuggling carries the death penalty. However, because of the need to deal with the double whammy of jet lag and working the night shift, lots of the F1 workers have arrived armed with legal prescription sleeping pills and potions. Stand by the paddock gate in the morning (that’s around 3pm on our shift) and you can spot the ones who got the dose wrong, by the very fashionable wobbly leg walk. Maybe they’ve been listening to paddock guests ZZ Top all time hits including, “She’s got legs, she knows how to use them…”
