A Night of Racing Dramas

Singapore F1 GP Night race concluded 2 days ago, on 28 Sept.
And what a surprise result for all F1 fans when Alonso took the
chequered flag!

Which means I said on the papers is nonsense! Laugh

Alonso was dealt with a cruel card during qualifying with a high
pressure fuel line problem, started 15th on the grid.
However when Nelson Piquet crashed and the SC was deployed
Mr Fernando benefited. He had just pitted thus will have a huge
advantage.

But the drama of all dramas was Massa pit stop. How bad can
a pit stop be? It was almost 10/10 BAD for the Ferrari team.
Their light system to release driver from the box was at fault,
prompting them to use the lollipop for the next stops.
Yes, Massa drove off with the fuel line attached to his car,
and poor Kimi was delayed in all of these.

In the end, the ones who gain most was McLaren and Lewis Hamilton
in their Constructors' and Driver's championship bid for 2008.
When Kimi crashed out with 4 laps to go and Massa finished way back,
zero point for the team in red, it was 6 points for the Silver Arrows.

At present, after Singapore F1 GP, Lewis is now 7 points ahead at
the top of the table and McLaren 1 point in front. Wink

Will Mr Hamilton ready to be the youngest F1 Champion? Let's
see


It was indeed an unexpected result from what the qualifying grid
tells us on a street circuit.
It is great ! More of such in 2009 Singapore F1 GP, Please!
