8-General Comment: I thought this was a great race a lot of thought went into this race, the lighting system was great I don't if many of you watched the Motogp early this season where at Qatar they had a their night race but I thought that wasn't lit up enough than this race so well done to the organizers and well done to Singapore for making this possible the race had a lot of action unlike Valencia because it had accidents and safety cars, everyone thought that there would have been many accidents in Valencia but there wasn't. Bad luck to Ferrari I hope they have a better end to the season with I hope no more pit stop accidents, I'm a Kimi fan so I hope he has no more crashes and helps Massa with his championship.

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
1-Alonso.Drove brilliantly,got lucky with the SC but took maximum advantage and fully deserved the win.
2-Williams.Got both cars in the points,got lucky with the delay in giving Rosberg the penalty but again took advantage and gave both drivers a competitive cars.
3-Hamilton/Coulthard.Not much to choose from here
4-Alonso winning the race.I'm delighted for him,he's driven brilliantly for most of the year,and today was the best driver out there.
5-Massa & Ferrari.Massa lost his head after the disastrous pitstop,spun twice,was slow and did nothing the last few laps.Ferrari,where do I start?
6-Glock.Qualified well,raced solidly,deserved 4th place.
7-Ferrari.How can a team challenging for the championship make so many mistakes? Heads should roll,and the pit light system binned.
8-Fantastic event put on by the Singapore people.The track looked great,the lights worked fine,the track provided an entertaining,unique race.Ferrari did terribly and may well have blown the championship today,Lewis did what he had to do and got great points for the championship.A day for the underdog,Alonso and Rosberg got lucky but took advantage,and deserved their places on the podium.

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
1-Best Driver: Alonsooooooo! He´s the best in F1
2-Best Team: Williams, both cars in the points, plus good gamble
3-Best Overtake: Rosberg on Trulli
4-Best Moment: Fernando winning this race and Rosberg finishing in front of Hamilton
5-Worst Driver and Worst Team: Räikkönen and Piquet (Go home you fools!) & Ferrari (awful, I wanna see heads rolling!)
6-Best Rookie: If Glock is considered as one than him, otherwise Nakajima
7-Biggest surprise: The Massa incident
8-General comment: Congrats to Hamilton and McLaren, they have clinched both championships today. The people in charge at Ferrari are the most stupid bunch of people in F1. And Räikkönen is embarrasing. I would donate, to see him getting sacked, I´m so upset.
When Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and of course Michael Schumacher left Ferrari, it was the best team in history, but the current people in charge are bringing Ferrari back to the old chaotic days! It´s a shame, big big shame.
Alonso is my hero today, he proved that he´s the best driver in F1. Give him the right car and he will win championships again.

a joke, you need to understand spanish:
I was watching the race on my "father-in-law" house. He don't use to see F1 race, and when Piquet was crashed, there was a "SC" light. My "father-in-law", asked me (piquet was still inside the car), that "SC" means: "Sal Corriendo"

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
Today in my ratings all goes to Renault !
1-Best Driver - Alonso
2-Best Team - Renault
3-Best Overtake - Alonso on Trulli
4-Best Moment - Renault on P1 ... Its kind of responding to Toro Rosso's win from Italy !
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team - Nelson Jr << Can righteously be called as the "Architect of Singapore Chaos" >>
6-Best Rookie - Nil
7-Biggest Surprise - Renault on the top step of the podium in 2k8 !
8-General Comment : This race didn't turn out to a boredom as many predicted. Being a Mclaren fan i was happy to see Massa / Kimi meet their fate. Yet another example of what Massa can do under pressure & see who is his victim " Adrian Sutil ". Probably this time it didn't go unnoticed, Adrian did leave the Ferrari go ahead & take a drive through penalty.
All credits to Alonso - FA put no foot wrong throughout the race. His aggression all through the year has finally paid off. This kind of drive with little bit of development from Renault's aero dept, i won't be surprised if Alonso steps back on top step in Melboure 09.

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
1-Best Driver: Kimi, before the SC he was getting closer and closer to LH, Piquet messed everything up:( , and as usual, Kimi makes the fastest lap.
2-Best Team: Renault, Who knows maybe Piquet's crash was intended:D, so that's great teamwork.
3-Best Overtake: Rosberg on Trulli, there wasn't much anyway.
4-Best Moment: Piquet's crash?
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team: Sutil? & Ferrari
6-Best Rookie: Glock
7-Biggest Surprise: Massa's incident at the pits.
8-General Comment
I think there are many things on the track that should be looked at, that kerb that got damaged, first corner isn't well lit, and they took an awful long time to remove that renault off the track.

7-Biggest Surprise : the crash of Raikkonen live!
8-General Comment : I am glad the Singapore GP wasn't a repeat of the Valencia one! Overtakes, actions, accidents..... Entertaining race! Sad for Rosberg, I could have won this race if he wasn't penalize, and shame for Raikkonen, 4 times in a row he didn't score a point....( by the way, every time Raikkonen is behind Glock, he make a mistake, remember Australia ). But I'm happy for Alonso! He could have been in the front in Qualify but the car failed.... it's a bit like Button in Hungary 2006!

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
Best Driver: Roseberg, Alosno
Best Team: Williams, showing again that they are competitive in street races
Best Overtake: Roseberg on Trulli ( all the overtake were on turn 7 and they were almost same)
Best Moment:Massa pulling away from hamilton in the first stint and kimi closing on hamilton.
Worst Driver and team: Heikki(expected more from him), Kimi( blew it out at the last and all the effort was ruined)-ferrari ( the are not having a good time these days, not good in the wets, not good in pits)
Best Rookie: Glock although he is not a rookie but I ould like to mention Nakajima who did fine.
Biggest Surprise: Massa's pit stop (was a complete disaster)
General Comment:Many people are talking about Massa looking his head in lower position, but he could not do anything better than that, it was very difficult to overtake and he was stuck behind a force india for the rest of the lap. Look at what kubica could manage after he got to the back of the grid.

Re: Rate the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix
1-Best Driver - Fernando no doubt !
2-Best Team - Renault, a very good strategy
3-Best Overtake - I don't really remember out:
4-Best Moment - Ferni and Nico on the podium !
5-Worst Driver & Worst Team - Kimi / Force India
6-Best Rookie - No one today...
7-Biggest Surprise - A race full of surprises and twist when I expected it to be boring
8-General Comment - That was the greatest race of the year to me cause Fernando won, I loved that circuit and the atmosphere but I prefere the one during the day. Night races have to be an exception in the calendar, not an habit I think.
