At the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, Renault driver Nelson Piquet, Jr. crashed, triggering a safety car period that shuffled the race order and helped his teammate, Fernando Alonso, to the win. Massa, driving for Ferrari, went from the lead to a P13 finish, a drop compounded by a disastrous pit stop in which he pulled away before his team had disconnected his car’s fuel hose .
