The first ever night race in the history of F1 ended with Fernando Alonso being the surprise winner. This was a day to forget for Ferrari with none of their drivers finishing with championship points. Massa had a particularly unlucky day. Starting from pole, he was doing well until his pit stop. The fuel pipe was unexpectedly stuck to his car when he left his pit. This cost him a lot of time as Ferrari engineers had to run to where his car was stranded to remove it. Added to this was a drive-through penalty by the stewards and an added pit stop to change tyres. This effectively ruled out any chance of points.
Raikkonnen was also in the 5th place a few laps from finish when he crashed. Thus ended Ferrari's chances of any points today. Such a bad race at a crucial stage in the championship with only 3 more races to go will be a great disappointment to the team.
Ferrari need to pull themselves up after this to do well in the remaining races.
As for the race, it was amazing with all the lights and the track itself tested the drivers' talents.
