Formula 1 in Singapore

The glamorous world of Formula 1 has reached the shores of beautiful Singapore this weekend for the first ever night race on a street circuit that proved to be a fantastic race. With the lead of Lewis Hamilton cut down to one point by Ferrari’s Brazilian driver Massa it was promised to be a hell of a race and many twists and turns and how correct could they have been.

Hamilton started in 2nd position while Massa was on pole so the race was set up to be a cracker and after the first few laps it certainly looked on the cards until disaster struck for Massa when he came in to the pits in the lead he accelerated off the pit line with his fuel hose still intact and took out a couple of his pit crew putting one in hospital but thankfully with nothing serious. This in turn gave Alonso the unlikely chance to take the lead after the safety car came out luckily after he had just filled up for his last stint which played directly into the Spaniards hands and he was able to hold on for his maiden victory this season in a car that has improved steadily all throughout the campaign.

Massa ended up a poor 13th 30 seconds behind the leader but after his calamity he did well to finish there to be honest. Rosberg in a Williams finished 2nd and Hamilton who now has extended his overall lead to 7 points must now be thinking of the Championship with only three races to come before we know who the World Champion will be.
