Massa's hopes for the title had already been shattered in Singapore when it was revealed that Nelson Piquet had deliberately crashed his Renault into the wall in an attempt to support teammate Fernando Alonso's own championship aspirations.

Massa eventually lost the championship by a point on the final day to Hamilton, which had pivotal implications.
