A Night Lottery
The inaugural Singapore GP had a bit of everything. Richard Barnes analyses where the race was won and lost, and how Nico Rosberg managed to turn a drive-through penalty into second place
Whatever happened during Sunday's inaugural grand prix of Singapore, the race was destined to occupy a special place in Formula One history. For the first time ever, the teams and drivers would compete under floodlights, with all the anticipation, uncertainty, and debate that preceded this watershed weekend.
For the uneventful first 15 laps, it seemed that the novelty factor was all that the event had to offer. With Ferrari's Felipe Massa putting on another master class at the head of the field, and the rest of the pack struggling to overtake on the constricted and bumpy layout, the result looked a foregone conclusion - much like the season's other debut event at Valencia.
