"Many who are first shall be last, and the last will be first."
-Mark 10:13
I remember some priest saying this during one of the novena nights at church..
and how true it is. as seen in the first F1 night race tonight.
Mr 15 on the grid- Fernando Alonso, came in first today! and Massa the predicted winner came in 13 (last as the others were out).
Main reason for what the commenters labeled "a catastrophic mistake" was Massa's team releasing him out of the pit stop when the refueling pipe was still stuck in his car. After which it was left dragging on the ground behind him for the next 200 metres plus? Massa pulled back into the end of the pit stop, and his team ran over to help him. Costing him ALOT of time and ultimately the entire race. What's worse was he got in the way of another driver hence landing him a 10 sec penalty D:
Also at that time (if i remeber correctly) Piquet crashed, bringing out the safety cars.. resulting in a a total turn of the F1 race. I'm not sure how this works but Alonso ended up in second place behind Nico Rosberg. And after Rosberg pulled in for a tire change Alonso took first position and had a comfortable lead over Rosberg and Hamilton for the remaing 5 laps or so.
And so. ALONSO TOOK THE CHECKERED FLAG, TAKING FIRST PLACE WITH 1:57:16:304!
i was hoping for ferrari to win and alonso to get at least top 7 but this was totally unexpected.
FERRARI WAS SUCH A LET DOWN ): esp kimmi who crashed near the end. i wna slap him! he was ferrari's last hope and he almost had top 5! dammit.
but oh wells.. like father said: the first shall be last and the last first.
mannn. that was probably THE most DRAMATIC race in F1 HISTORY.
AAAAND. it happened in SINGAPORE! ((:
there's still more F1 in the next 5 yrs. hopefully it'll be as interesting yea!
