Singapore GP: Top 5 Drivers of the race

Fernando Alonso – 9/10

Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso made up for his poor qualifying with a brilliant start that took him from seventh on the grid to third by the end of first lap. He retained his third place after his first pit stop and then led the drivers who pitted under the Safety Car. As we now all know, that was the right decision and when Nico Rosberg pitted on lap 41, he moved up into second place.

The Spaniard then controlled his pace and his tyres for the next 20 laps to take his third consecutive second place finish of the season. After the race, he said that his second place felt like victory. Now we don’t need to draw any inferences from it, it’s self explanatory.
