Alonso starts and wins

Pilot Ferrari Fernando Alonso won a second consecutive victory at the stages of "Formula 1" and moved into second place in individual competition. Mark Webber from the leading Spaniard is now just 11 points separates. The Russian, Vitaly Petrov, the Renault again were just one step in order to score points. On the eve of the third in the history of Formula 1 night stage - the Grand Prix of Singapore - again more frequent conversations about the imminent arrival of Renault champion in 2007 and the former Ferrari driver Kimi Ryaykkenena. Its probable appearance in the camp of the French team would like to mean parting with Vitaly Petrov. And the leadership team, judging by the reaction, it would not be against such a turn of events. Even taking into account the fact that Petrov's services do not cost a penny Renault. Even very loyal to the Russian citizen boss Eric Bouyer did not fail to stress that money is of course important, but the result - is more important. However, recent events have turned everything upside down. Ryaykkenen all and almost certainly will be in the Renault, but it can be replaced not by Vitaly Petrov, while Robert Kubica. Go to last a serious interest Ferrari, whose leadership is not very pleased with the results of Felipe Massa. Brazilian after a serious head injury strongly passed, and relationships within the team after a recent request to skip ahead Alonso, were far from smooth. In general, from the rival Ryaykkenen for Petrova began slowly to turn into a potential mate. Contours become more clarity after Kubica said that his interest in the person of the Ferrari is. True, the task of demonstrating the result of Petrov has not been removed. Beyond that, as Russian will replenish points treasury team will be watching closely. But with this in his recent serious problems. Stability - it is certainly good. But better had it been within the top ten. Vitaly is the recent lack of exactly one step to finish in points. Was no exception and the Grand Prix of Singapore - the first of the last five races of the season on tracks that Petrov had never acted. He studied them in simulations, but they are a complete picture of reality do not give. He made his debut in Singapore is not only our compatriots, but also the most experienced of all the pilots of Formula 1 - Michael Schumacher. Singapore stage, only the third time, and first launched after the completion of a career of the Red Baron. Thus, among the existing phases, only Singapore has never surrendered seven-time champion. At the same time for all the great career Schumacher he failed to win only two stages: first - the Grand Prix of Mexico, where in 1992 he became only the third place. In Singapore, the "big prizes" returned Nick Heidfeld once again stranded behind the wheel of race car Sauber. In qualifying he had a 15-second result and, apparently, was pleased with himself. Lack of training and an unfamiliar machine did not give him a chance for good results. Prior to reporting the race level on points in Singapore, Fernando Alonso took the Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton of McLaren. In the race to win the Spaniard, Briton finished third, and next year the picture was repeated with exactly the opposite. This season, both fighting for the championship and third place and order, and another is unlikely to be arranged. Although it is still weeks ago Ferrari boss was ready to lay down their arms in the current season and start preparing for next season. Recently, nobody even thought to struggle in qualifying with the pilots of Red Bull, who won the lion's share of pole positions this season. But the qualification of the Grand Prix of Singapore once again put Alonso in the first place, which he won Vettel at the last moment, leaving behind at 0.067 seconds. "Bulls" also got the second and fifth row. To support this initiative partner copilot Ferrari Massa failed. Because of problems with the gearbox of his car stalled on the turn that it is automatically translated into 24 th place. There were problems with the engine and Alonso, who immediately summoned to the pits and reconfigure everything that is possible, after which he was able to squeeze everything out of the car. Pilots McLaren Hamilton and Button located on the third and fourth places. Both came to support the bride: Lewis - Nicole Scherzinger (pictured above), Jenson - Jessica Michibata (pictured below). As can be seen, boasting it was nothing. Petrov continued to pursue a qualification failure. In the second segment of training, he went without any problems, but already in the debut of the second session of Russians launched a fireball and hit the crash barrier. In the end, having a good chance of reaching the top 10, Vitali took only 13th place. Move on a line up it was possible thanks to the fact that Nico Hulkenberg, who finished 12 th place, has lost five positions because of engine change. However, the wait for great results from the French team was not necessary. The fact that the highway in Singapore is more suitable Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren. The first - to a greater extent, the other - to a lesser. But to compete in speed, if not strange as it sounds, for the Renault like death.

Vitantonio Liuzzi car stood at a dangerous site and clean it out quickly proved to be not so simple. At this point, decided to cheat all 11 pilots, led by Webber, kinuvshimsya into boxes. The task was simple - to meet for a race in a pit stop to have a competitive advantage. Among the eleven riders turned and Vitaly Petrov. Webber risk paid off. Upon the resumption, he began to climb. But Vitaly things got really bad. From 12 th place, he dropped a 15-s, without any positive progress. Meanwhile, Alonso's fastest lap of one punch after another, and Vettel gradually lagged behind competitors and complained on the radio that a car can accelerate to the desired tempo. Nevertheless, the pilots McLaren, he also broke away diligently. Webber eventually got stuck behind Barrichello and Peter - for the masses. Fun began after the second wave of pit stops. All the same Webber eliminated one of its competitors. While overtaking on a circle Di Grassi Aussie slightly slowed down, and this took Hamilton, tried to evade the opponent on the turn. However, Webber did not slow down, and after the collision fireball Briton got a puncture and was left on the sidelines. Lewis, of course, was extremely unhappy, but the stewards did not find in the actions of the Australian anything illegal. Undertakings Webber continued Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld typing in bump. Once again, the episode did not cause emotions in the judging panel. Cup Designers Place Team Points 1 Red Bull 383 2 McLaren 359 3 316 4 Mercedes Ferrari 168 5 ... Renault 133 After a series of epic confrontations in the race has come peace of mind. And even the planned pit stop in the lead with Alonso, Vettel had gone at one time. Also simultaneously, and they left the pits. Only in the final quarters enchanting skated Kubica. At the 46-lap riding on the 7-th place Pole got a puncture and went into the pits. Back on track, he only 13 meters. Nevertheless, for the remaining time, Robert is not only back in the points zone, but re-emerged in the seventh line, having played for 10 laps 7 positions. Moreover, in ten it blank Petrov, who was on the old rubber, and therefore did not count on a high place.
