Singapore - Fernando Alonso in a Renault on Sunday won the Singapore Formula One Grand Prix, beating Niko Rosberg of Williams into second place. Third place in the first ever F1 night race under floodlights at the Marina Bay Street Circuit went to championship leader Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren-Mercedes.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa started from pole position and led comfortably in the early stages but all hope of victory and a chance of championship points ended for the Brazilian when he drove off with the fuel hose still attached at his first pit stop.

Hamilton's podium finish sees the 23-year-old earn six points to extend his lead over Massa in the drivers' standings to seven points with three races remaining.
