Hi All
Had you been watching the Singapore 2008 Grand Prix today you would of known the diaster than had happened between Felipe Massa and his pit-lane team.
Some drivers took advantage of N Piquet crash by entering the pits before they were open. This is when Massa had his disaster. His pitlane overhead game him the green light to start again, and that he was free to drive off. Little did Felipe know, the fuel mast was still in his car. Driving away with a force of over 700 BHP and 0-60 time under 3 seconds, the well-experienced driver drove away with the fuel mast in his car, trailing a pitlane worker with him for a short time.
This resulted in a trip to the medical center for the pit lane fueler. After trailing the fuel nozzle to the end of the pit lane, spueing fuel all over the the Ferrari team, Felipe managed to stop just before the end of pit line.
As the Ferrari team start a sprint to get to the car at the end of the pilot, do there surprise they were cheered on by the McLaren pit boys.
