Miracles do happen...

As you all know, yesterday marks the start of the historic first night Grand Prix race in Singapore. Like all other Singaporeans, I watched the Grand Prix on television. At first, I predicted that Felipe Massa is going to win the first night race because he is going to take pole position in the night race.

However, God do not want this to happen and a chain of events happened which caused him to lose the title. Firstly, as Massa was going to exit his pitlane, he drove out of it with the fuel nozzle attached to his car. This caused him to lose precious seconds as they attempted to take out the nozzle. Hence, he loses the chance to take the first night race title.

Shockingly, Alonso won the title. Since Massa has lost pole position, the second favourite Lewis Hamilton would be the heavy favourites to win the race. However, Alonso shockingly took the title from him when he came out 15th during the starting grid to emerge first from the race. This really shocked me because Renault is not as good as Ferrari. No matter, I felt happy and elated for Alonso to overcome the odds and win the title since his last Italian Grand Prix win. Congrats to him and also really hope that Massa could win the drivers championship from Hamilton.

Final comments to this year night race: After I have seen the Grand Prix, I really feels proud to be Singaporean as this event helps to put us in the world map. I really hope the the next four years Grand Prix will be as this year. I have also learnt from this race that no matter do not give until the last minute as MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!!!
