2008 Singapore F1 Grand Prix: Day Two

Felipe Massa drove a perfect race in his Ferrari last night on Day Two of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix. He had the fastest time during the qualifying session and will start the race tonight in pole position ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and fellow driver Kimi Raikkonen. From BBC:

With overtaking difficult on the Marina Bay street circuit, grid positions are likely to be crucial - and Massa was understandably delighted to have pipped Hamilton at the death.

"The car was so nice to drive and it is so great that I managed to do a perfect lap," said the 27-year-old after his lap of one minute, 44:519 seconds.

"It was a great achievement. I made the corners perfect, so it is fantastic and one of the most incredible feelings a driver can have."

Hamilton insisted he was happy with second after he almost missed out on the pole position shoot-out, sneaking through in 10th, but warned that overtaking in the race will be almost impossible.
