One point.

That’s what separates Felipe Massa from championship leader Lewis Hamilton coming to the Singapore Grand Prix where the 2008 F1 season resumes this Sunday.

Coming to the first night race in Formula One, Felipe Massa has 77 championship points to the 78 markers owned by Lewis Hamilton. And with the way this season has been, Massa knows every single detail of every single race is important.

Coming to the 2008 F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Massa believes qualifying good is as important as the race itself.

‘’Saturday will be very important,'’ Felipe Massa said of the qualifying session that will be held a day before raceday. ‘’I've never driven on the Singapore track but it’ll be even more difficult to overtake compared to Valencia, because the straights are even shorter.'’

Singapore will have quite a few overtaking possibilities but Massa admits that, with the way the cars are designed today, overtaking will be difficult, especially on street circuits like the one they’ll be racing on in Singapore.

‘’These days it is not very easy to overtake in Formula One, the cars have great aerodynamic downforce,'’ Massa said. ‘’When you are behind a car, you lose downforce.'’

Rain is another potential hazard come Sunday. Singapore was lashed by wet weather on Wednesday, and Massa would prefer a dry track.

‘’I would prefer it to be dry in Singapore, but we can do well and have a consistent race in the wet as well,'’ he said.
