Singapore Grand Prix Update
Ferrari scores a self goal in Singapore.
All the happiness the Ferrari fans had after the qualy at Singapore GP seeing Vettel on pole and Hamilton in P5 , evaporated within seconds of the race start. Kimi made a stunning start , but Max was sandwiched between the 2 Ferrari's as Sebastian veered to his left as much as possible to close off Max , unaware of Kimi's brilliant getaway. it all ended in tears for Ferrari , Max and Alonso , while Lewis couldn't believe what just happened , and gladly took the race victory , with Danny Ric coming in P2,and Bottas in P3. Sainz and Palmer produced their best results of the season. This race might turn out to be the GP which had a significant influence on this year's WDC.
Enough about these guys now. Let's see how we have done in the game.

Rest of the Field
As noted above , it was a disastrous round for those who chose Ferrari , and a double whammy for those who also had Seb as their Group 1 driver. It's also reflected in the scores below.
Exediron escaped being the joint lowest scorer in this round by making a transfer before this round (Hope this encourages others also to make bold transfers) , and hence ,
Fountoukos13 was left to be the last in this round , with 97 points (1st sub-100 score this season for any team)
