Another good race from Singapore.

Button & Vettel drove flawlesly.

Hamilton drove extremely well apart from the Massa incident. Eddie Jordan is right, he keeps putting his car at risk. Its been going on since midway through last season.

Di Resta, at least 1 more season at Force India, Comfortably beat his team mate and then he'll get a move. Cut out the silly errors like he had in Monaco and he'll be a very very good driver at a top team.

Massa needs replacing.

The controversy over Lewis Hamilton's collision with Felipe Massa in Singapore has been reignited after fresh footage reveals the Ferrari driver was instructed to "destroy" the Brit's race.

The two drivers came together at the Marina Bay circuit, with Hamilton running into the back of his rival as he tried to get past.

The accident left Massa with a right rear puncture and Hamilton, who was generally thought to be at fault, with a broken front wing and a drive-through penalty.

But a new twist to the story has emerged as the Formula One official edit of the race brings to light radio transmissions which were not heard during the original broadcast.

Speaking over the radio to the Brazilian, Massa's race engineer Rob Smedley seems to instruct his driver to make sure that Hamilton lost time behind him.

Smedley said: "Hold Hamilton as much as we can. Destroy his race as much as we can. Come on boy."

Despite these instructions, Massa was still furious after the race as he confronted Hamilton and accused him of driving without thinking for the second straight day following a separate incident in qualifying
