Singapore Formula One Grand Prix 2008 Result

FERNANDO ALONSO WINS THE FIRST EVER SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX!!! Absolutely precision driving by the Spaniard. You saw what he can do with the Renault R28 during the Friday & Saturday practice sessions, besides the fuel pressure failure during Q2 of the Qualifying Session yesterday. It's inspiring to watch him work his way from 15th place on the starting grid to the top. But let's not forget his teammate Piquet's accident that brought out the safety car, which indirectly contributed to his victory.

On the other hand, it's a night to forget for Ferrari. If the pit lane traffic jam wasn't bad enough already, Massa had the refueling hose stuck on his F2008, which eventually cost him the race (and perhaps the World Championship). With a handful of laps to go, Raikkonen made a silly unforced error, losing control at Turn 10 & got a taste of concrete, ha!

Hamilton would be the happiest man, a 3rd place is good enough to open a 7-point lead over fellow World Championship rival, Massa. Last but not least, McLaren is now leading in the Constructor Championship by a single point. The race result as follows:
