F1 Singapore: Another unpredictable Grand Prix... Alonso wins in front of Rosberg!

By ,

What can be said except that a Renault finished in front of a Williams, a McLaren, a Toyota, a Toro Rosso, a BMW-Sauber, a Red Bull and another Williams on the first ever Formula 1 Night Grand Prix? Fernando Alonso won this morning -- evening in Singapore -- his first race since the Bresilian Grand Prix last year. He got lucky, for once, when the safety car completed marvelously his strategy."After a terrible qualification for us yesterday where we got very unlucky, today, luck was on our side. I cannot believe we won a race this year! I am so happy for everyone on my team that work so hard to make it work. "We got lucky but it feels good to win. It's probably going to take me a couple of days to realise it fully", said the exhausted Alonso after a long race under 69% humidex.Surprisingly, the Renault's victory does not begin to tell how special was this race. Nico Rosberg brought back his Williams to a second place finish even if he was forced by the officials to a drive-through penalty during the race.Lewis Hamilton looks like he doesn't fit in this top-eight where we can,t even find one Ferrari car. Consequently, this third place victory feels like a victory for Hamilton that increases substantially his lead of the championship.Raikkonen sent his Ferrari in the walls of the street-circuit with only four laps to do to the 61 laps race. Massa finished symbolicaly 13th of the 14th finisher.After Vettel's victory two weeks ago in Italy , it is the second consecutive Grand Prix with quite surprising results.
