I still think that he'll be resigned by Ferrari next season, probably a one year contract extension!
If you want to say Felipe had "help" in Singapore then I must have been watching a different race to you. Sure the SC helped a little, but compared to the wretched luck he had at the start, being clipped from behind and having his tire punctured at T1 and then having to complete the whole lap before finally getting into the pits..... if the SC was one or two units of luck then he was dealt 10 negative units at the start.
Also, I think his drive was a little better than "solid". He set the fastest lap with 57 laps of fuel in his car, it took until cars got down to 24 laps of less fuel and new tires before someone could beat that lap of his - all I can say is that is an awesome lap. 24 Singapore laps of fuel is huge. Credit where credit is due I say.
Lastly, his pass on Senna was awesome, his ability to fit the car where he did, his control after being hit, and then to make that pass stick - you wont see many passes that good or better in many years of F1.
