The good folks at PF1 has produced an excellent write-up of “Winners and Losers” for the Singapore GP.

Quote:

Fernando Alonso, Renault, 1st
It just goes to show that good things come to those who can do a Basil Fawlty impression. Alonso was the big beneficiary of the Safety Car lottery, but what was quite clear was that he had a car that, on performance, deserved to come first. This was no Nelson Piquet at Hockenheim lucking into a place he didn’t look capable of achieving on his own.

We now have six big talents in F1: Alonso, Raikkonen, Massa, Hamilton, Kubica and Vettel.

Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 13th
On Saturday he took P1 with what could easily be the qualifying lap of the year. Riding on board with Felipe Massa his pole time looked effortless and Sunday proved that he had virtually the same level of fuel as Raikkonen and Hamilton. So, an immense achievement on Saturday. The second he responded to the green light that told him it was clear to leave the pits on Sunday his race was over. And none of it his fault.

Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 10th
Though he was in good company at the back, Kovalainen should have been able to keep his Mclaren ahead of Jenson Button’s tortoise-like Honda at the very least.

Rubens Barrichello, Honda, DNF
The first time Singapore GP fans will be thinking – how come the most experience driver in F1 history has no idea how to throw his gloves properly.

Funny and entertaining! More after the jump.
