Formula 1 fans in the Cayman Islands now have a new base to watch grand prix racing, starting with the Singapore event on Sunday.
Fans of F1 in the Cayman Islands can watch races at Fidel Murphy’s bar following the closing of nearby Club House.
Danny Roach, organiser of the local F1 club, said: “We will watch the races at the regular times of 8:30am for the pre-race and 9am for the race start at Fidel’s in Queens Court, on West Bay Road, just about 200 metres on the town side of Club House.
“We would like to have a good big number of fans so that Fidel’s feels it is well worth their while to host us. They have fabulous breakfast selections. Big thanks to Fidel Murphy’s owner Patrick Tibbetts (who sadly died of a heart attack on Tuesday night) for acting so quickly and graciously to accommodate our group.”
Although fans can cheat and look up the race results, the culture of the club is to ensure that they don’t find out beforehand. It all adds to the intrigue. Fidel’s is best known for hosting coverage of European football matches but they speedily moved into top gear when the F1 fans were looking for a new pit-stop.
The Singapore race is full of intrigue. Lewis Hamilton insists he is totally focused on winning the title with McLaren this season, despite the ongoing speculation about his future.
Hamilton has been with McLaren since the team picked him up as a 13-year protege, and has driven only for them in his six-year Formula 1 career.
After winning the Italian Grand Prix last week, he is second in the championship, 37 points behind Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso.
