Can Alonso win Singapore Fair and Square?
Who will crash his car on purpose for Alonso to take the checkered flag this time?
Ah yes, conspiracies and controversies have not been new to the 2009 F1 season. And in case you didn’t know, the entire Renault F1 team is in the middle of the latest one coming to this weekend’s Singapore GP.
Yup, the 2009 F1 Singapore Grand Prix is this weekend and Fernando Alonso will try to defend the title he earned last year. After all, the Singapore GP is the ONLY race in the F1 racing calendar held at nighttime and since the inaugural race last season, the event has become one of those races you just have to win if you’re a Formula One driver.
However, there seems to be a problem about the way Fernando Alonso won the race in Singapore last year. It turns out that team Renault ordered Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash his car on purpose to give Alonso an unfair advantage.
You see, Nelson Piquet Jr. crashing his Renault last year meant that Alonso had taken his first pit stop before the safety car was deployed. Thanks to Flavio Briatore’s ingenuity, the plan worked perfectly and Alonso ended up with the win on Singapore’s inaugural night race.
Fernando Alonso, as of this writing, still claims he was on the dark about the devious plan to give him the edge through the safety car. As far as he’s concerned, he doesn’t know squat about the incident.
Alonso is confident that he’ll be able to win again in Singapore, with or without his Renault teammate deliberately crashing his car for him.
”The car is working well at most circuits so I believe we are competitive enough to get close to the podium, which has to be my target this weekend,” he said.
”I like it [the circuit] because it’s quite challenging and there are some interesting corners like the high-speed chicane at turn 10 where you have to carry a lot of speed and use the curbs. Overtaking isn’t easy in Singapore, but there are some opportunities.”
