every second dripping off my fingertips

Yes I know I keep saying I shouldn't be doing this but here I am again.

I think the world's first ever night race on Singapore's street circuit is a worthy enough reason for me to just throw aside Huck and Sidd to watch. A disappointing outing for Ferrari though, which I must say, even though I'm not a huge F1 fan, made me very disappointed too.

It all started with an accident. Nelson Piquet in his Renault smashed into the wall, prompting the entrance of the safety car, in which drivers made the mistake of pitting when the lane was apparently closed. This caused all sorts of problems for the drivers, especially for the cars in front. Massa, who started in pole, had a commanding lead up till then. A refuelling disaster supposedly caused injury to one of the crew, and he had a 10s stop penalty. From then on, he was out of contention for points. Alonso then took over the reigns of first spot, now with the race turned on its head, with the trailing drivers now in front. Raikkonen retired, albeit in 4th place at that time, with 4 laps to go, summing up Ferrari's disappointing night. A fantastic drive from Nico Rosberg saw him move up the track positions all the way up to second, but it was Fernando Alonso who brought it home for Renault, no thanks to a small favour from teammate Nelson Piquet Jr.

somewhere a clock is ticking:
10:52 PM
