SINGAPORE 10:12 AM
40th Post. I liked to comment on the Formula 1™ Grand Prix at Interlagos, Brazil early morning. Woke up at 1 a.m and watched the final race of the season. It was wet for the start and the end, dry during the middle stages. Massa had a great start leading the pack, Raikkonen pushing hard on Trulli and Hamilton struggling at fourth. I was so outraged at the end! Hamilton was overtaken by Vettel and which dropped him to sixth. This would allow Massa to win the title although they are tied at the same points as Massa has more 1st place finishes. Massa won the race, and Glock made a mistake which puts Hamilton up to fifth and of course, won the title by one point to Massa. Although Ferrari won the Team Constructors, I was still angry like mad.
Everything was almost same as last year but the swap in teams. Raikkonen also won Hamilton by one point although he was seven points behind Hamilton with one race remaining. This year Massa trails Hamilton by seven points but couldn't make it.
