Amazing race.
While McLaren didn't do as well as I'd like, I'm still a fairly content man.
Alonso in first, followed by Rosberg and Hamilton (respectively). Only one McLaren finished with points (Hamilton), while both Ferraris went home with nothing.
Lots of unexpected events - Massa was robbed of a podium finish (likely a first place finish) due to a mistake on release from the pits. Once again, I feel bad for the guy - he raced well, didn't deserve such a mishap. I felt bad for Raikkonen too - he pushed hard to gain an advantage over Timo Glock, but it proved to be too much: he crashed out in fifth place, with only four laps remaining.
A McLaren fan feeling sorry for Ferrari drivers? Traitorous.
Surprise fifth place finish by Sebastian Vettel of Torro Rosso. This driver certainly has a very bright future ahead of him - he's been racing consistently well over the season, and he's driving in Torro Rosso! Before the race (two weeks ago), I would never have thought that Torro Rosso could end winning a race. But they did it. Amazing.
(For those who don't know: Torro Rosso bought over Minardi. Minardi was the worst team on the F1 scene, and Torro Rosso inherited that awful title for the past few years. But they've proven themselves to be a contender this season. One can do nothing but anticipate more from them this season and the next.)
McLaren is now officially at the top of the Constructor's Championship standings! Ha ha! Eat that Ferrari fans. Granted, we're only ahead of Ferrari by one point - but in this game, every single point counts.
This was one of the most exciting race throughout the entire season. Well done Singapore.
