Wow...how did I miss this thread? Heehee...I was also a volunteer at sector 18. It's been great fun!
Think Friday all got food at 8.30pm as the formula BMW qualifying overrun and not enough time for food run before P1. There is the usual FIA inspection and all that will require time. F1 timings are kept very strictly as I understand esp during raceday every minute delay could be fine up to US$20K per min! I guess it's because of TV broadcase issues. Don't want to keep the world waiting.
The spectator that feel on the marshal I believe is at sector 16 or 17. Understand the crowd control security people went AWOL so the crowd keep pushing forward and finally the worst happened. Sigh...the security people from my side was in full force in the afternoon but once F1 starts, all AWOL also, prob finding the best view. Some can chase spectators away from dangerous spots (but with great view) den afterthat they themselves stand there. OMG. We have to blow our whistle to chase them away. Can't believe it.
As for the pictures, I think as long as not for commercial purpose, I don't think they will do anything, no worth the effort for them also. As for the rules on photos, they are clearly stated, can't run for it, but again, don't think they will enforce it unless used for commercial purposes.

Didn't spot this thread until someone posted a link from the SGP volunteers forum.

Yeah, the food run on Fri was very late. However my sector got some extra choco bars to go around, so not so bad.
Thurs was the worst. People who managed to sneaked into the "circuit" area were happily roaming around, and there were no cisco/security officers. We marshals had to tell them not to walk in the inner-pathway. Some could even talk back and refused to get out of the restricted area.

Ya...thur we also pretty much boh bian...got family eating and strolling and taking pictures somemore...hahaha....
Hi ravenblackhart bro
The marshal who got the foot run over by the F1 car, I saw.
Those marshals who were injured by falling spectators or other misc mishaps while on duty may have suffered injury and may have a valid case to claim insurance from SingaporeGP. I hope they know their rights and not be blur blur and just keep quiet and be a goondu.
Actually, to be brutally honest, our F1 job is actually chor kang. I bet alot of the volunteers have never worked like this before in their entire lives(except me, I work as rubbish dump cleaner before, I'm not joking), seriously,......the way we all sign on at the mustering area and eating our lunches like a Bangala construction worker is an example, not to mention the extremely humid and unforgiving working conditions under the elements. The heatstroke inducing overalls is another thing that many of the people used to working in air con cannot get used to. So in this light, to see that the majority of marshal casualties are females, is a foregone conclusion.
seankyh bro said it best....
I think alot of F1 marshals will agree that the job was not as easy as they had thought nor did they foresee the inherent dangers.
bro:
I AM GER LA!!! and final count of casualties (after clarification w senior ) is 2.
Further clarification with regards to the spectator falling:
i was the marshal, spectator didn't fall on me la... make it sound so jialat... cept the bugger is damn big lar like twice my size and then he lean over to my side cause me to fall and injure back...
sports council called to check up on status and all lar, and prob can claim if anything... budden i happier that i no need claim anything... survived on painkillers for a week and now resume life... guess i much luckier then the other ger foot kena run over...
It was reported over the comms that a spectator fell on you and that you were brought to hospital. I'm really glad you're okay.
i'm amused...lol...initially when i saw that spectator fell on marshal, i tot got another one similar situation but more suay then me... now i noe... lol...cute thing is, until now i still dunno who reported one.... waahaha when sports council call and ask me, i was like... i dunno who report... i dunno who was w me waiting for medical car, this dunno that dunno... lol
The comms from your sector or a sector nearby must have reported this. The crowd does get quite ugly at times. Hope that next 2009 event will get better.
Yeah...it was all over radio, and over comms guy reported a spectator fell on a marshal and brought to the hospital, we were like, what the hack, how come spectator can fell onto marshal one, wats happening to the security. Good to hear you are ok.
:bsmilie: maybe the printing company did not QC typesetting due to last minute job...but one thing I admire and respect is that Singapore is the first F1 host country in the world that thought of coming up with a F1 marshal's handbook of such standard and detail, and executed within such short notice from conceptualisation to print:thumbsup:
The next print run will probably include all the missing pages so I guess what we(the pioneer F1 marshal batch) are holding now is probably a rare 'print error edition' worth much $$$$$$ due to the errors! :vhappy::bsmilie:

Jialat!? One of the F1 volunteer's wife is washing dirty linen online about her husband's obesssion with F1 volunteering
All those F1 volunteers who are married, better check this out, man!....is she is your wife? Here: http://www.sgclub.com/singapore/ever_f1_volunteer_95803.html
Because she mentioned that he appeared on Ch5,Ch8,CNA news on TV, could it be this comms in-charge's wife because he was interviewed on TV. Maybe those comms guys in SGP forum can draw his attention to her post to see if that's really his wife?........
