Alonso Wins Singapore GP 2010

Flawless Fernando Alonso edges Vettel for Singapore win

Fernando Alonso moved himself right into the thick of the world title battle by taking his second consecutive victory with a consummate drive in the Singapore Grand Prix.

The brilliant pole position the Ferrari team leader earned on Saturday gave him the upper hand in a relentless race-long duel with Red Bull rival Sebastian Vettel, who finished just 0.2s behind in a rousing finish.

Alonso’s win moved him into second place in the championship standings ahead of Lewis Hamilton, whose title hopes took a further knock when he crashed out in a collision with Mark Webber shortly after half-distance.

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton failed to finish after colliding with the Red Bull of Mark Webber.

Webber went on to finish third, ahead of Hamilton’s team-mate Jenson Button.

Alonso’s win lifts the Spaniard to second in the drivers’ championship, just 11 points behind Webber, with Hamilton nine points adrift in third.

The twisting nature of the street circuit meant the start was likely to represent one of the only genuine overtaking opportunities in the race.

The fact the first five on the grid came out of the second corner in unchanged order did not appear to bode well for those hoping to see plenty of passing action.

It is definitely a spectators’ race rather than driver’s one. All tickets for the 2008 race were sold out and the same thing is expected for 2009. It is also great for the European fans who will watch the race on TV at a normal time and don’t have to stay up all night.

The drivers however are not to pleased. From their prospective the event could be described as hot, humid and bumpy. Very, very bumpy!

Allegedly, it requires twice the amount of energy to complete a lap on the Marina Bay Street Circuit, than a lap on the circuit in Monaco. The kerbs and the pit entry had to be modified ahead of the race, as they were causing a lot of problems.
