After Felipe Massa’s scintillating qualifying performance, Ferrari were confident of victory heading into Sunday’s inaugural Singapore Grand Prix. Instead, however, they leave the Marina Bay circuit rueing vital pit-stop errors that ruined the Brazilian’s race and cost the Italian team the lead in the constructors’ championship.Everything started smoothly for Massa, the pole-sitter quickly building a lead over title rival Lewis Hamilton. But at his first pit stop disaster struck. He was given the green light too early and left with the fuel hose still attached to his car. Massa was forced to wait at the end of the pit lane for his mechanics to run down and wrestle the hose off, but he then received a drive-through penalty for being unsafely released from the stop. The blunder undoubtedly cost him the race and after a late puncture he eventually finished 13th - 35 seconds adrift of victor Fernando Alonso. “It's hard to deal with losing in this fashion a race that was within our grasp, with a car that was just the way I wanted it,” said Massa. “We had a good strategy and all the signs were there that we could get a one-two finish. But things can change in a moment and that's what happened today. At the pit stop, one of the guys made a mistake. But we are only human. Each one of us always tries to do our best and these things can happen.”Despite Massa’s strife, Ferrari were still poised to pick up four points courtesy of Kimi Raikkonen, who was running in P5 after his final pit stop. That was until the champion went off into the wall at Turn 10 with less than four laps to go. "I was trying to attack Glock in case he might make a mistake, but I went slightly wide at the chicane, jumping over the kerb and when the car landed, I lost control and ended up in the barriers,” explained Raikkonen. “My situation in the championship was already rather compromised, so this doesn't really make that much difference but I am unhappy because the team has lost precious points in the constructors' classification.”
Ferrari’s failure to score in Singapore means that rivals McLaren now lead the constructors’ standings, with 135 points to the reigning champions’ 134.
Walao !! Was so excited ytd until the part when Massa went into pitting and the fuel hose was stuck at Massa's car !! Haiz !! Then still kenna the 10 sec penalty drive thorugh the pit stop !! Which make him drop until to rank 15 but then some drivers caught on accident, transmission, engines and hydraulic problem ... Which push him up to 13 but no points to be given !! It was really a Ferrari Disaster !! But the track really got alot of problem, some of the turning point is not wide enough for the drivers to get a firm grip which almost crash against the barrier !! Seriously !! And the track is so bumpy, when the car are charging u can see the sparks been produced from the bottom of the car ... Especially Renault car, when it rubs against the ground, it produce the yellow colour smoke !!
Haha, ytd Musztaqim call me whenever there's things happening to Team Ferrari !! Sad part was that his Raikkonen caught on accident by crashing against the wall !! And today, Arfian laugh at me because of the race !! Haha, when Hamilton kenna penalty or what did i say anything ?? No !! U laugh at me again. i will tease you when Hamilton got trashed again by Massa !! Watch out ah !! Samson feel pity about Massa, haiz ...
After recess we didn't know that we had to line up at the parade square and somemore after physics we went back to the classroom and talk about Jia Yu's sniper rifle !! A dummy one !! But really nice to play !! And we took alot of pictures of us taking and posing with that stupid 0.65 calibre Magnum JY Rifle !! My name suggested for his rifle and he really acknowledge it !! Then we were told to go down to the parade square, haiya comfirm is punishment one !! So we walk down as a class lo !! Then walk down already, we were told to stand at the podium !! And shine under the hot sun !! Haiz, then after he dismiss the classes, he tell us to form 2 line and tell us to run 6 round !! Not feeling well, fall out but not resting. Help to count how many rounds we had run !! Standard we know it already, even though we fall out also will get punishment !! Then we were perspiring after the run and we were told to drink from the water cooler. Went back to class and Jun Hao was complaining about the incident.
Great news came when Mr Leong came into our class to talk with us, he said that "He's very disappointed with what Mr Zulkifli had done to us "!! Then Jun Hao say : " Ask him come and apologize to us " !! Whole class laugh la !! Well, Mr Leong's gonna talk to Mr Zul about it !!

Well, today we had done alot of physics practical !! And it's really tiring !! Need to draw graph all this !! Haiz !! Photos of the posing with Snipers will be upload soon !! Well even though ytd was a Ferrari Disaster, it doesn't mean that Ferrari won't strive !! But Ferrari will trash all it's opponent !! Massa & Raikkonen, keep up ur standard and do whatever you can !!
