F1 Singapore GP: Weekend Awards

Special Recognition Award

There were some superb drives in Singapore, the aforementioned Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen being two of the standouts. One driver who largely escaped our attention was Fernando Alonso, despite an excellent Sunday drive. The Spaniard began the race in P11, meaning that he had choice of tyres for the start, which turned out to be crucial later on.

Beginning the race on the ultrasofts meant that he didn't fall into the trap of being stuck behind the Williams cars of Sirotkin and Stroll. This allowed the McLaren man to jump the likes of Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Perez and relatively cruise to another P7 and win the unofficial best of the rest title, and this award.

Despite leaving Formula 1 for 2019, and being in an uncompetitive McLaren, the double world champion is putting in some amazing drives, what a special driver he is. We'll miss you 'Nando.

Alonso's drive at Marina Bay went under the radar but was superb.
