Singapore Grand Prix

Fernando Alonso won today's Singapore Grand Prix in the Ferrari with the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber rounding out the podium in second and third respectively. McLaren's Jenson Button finished fourth, Nico Rosberg in the Mercedes finished fifth, Rubens Barrichello in the Williams finished sixth, Robert Kubica finished seventh in the Renault, Adrian Sutil in the Force India finished eighth, Barrichello's teammate Nico Hulkenberg finished ninth, while Alonso's teammate Felipe Massa finished tenth.

I was happy about Alonso holding off Vettel for pretty much the entire 61-lap dash around Marina Bay and it was also nice to see Nick Heidfeld and Christian Klien return to F1 as starting drivers. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton scored his second consecutive DNF after making contact with Webber on lap 36.

The results give Mark Webber 202 points, Alonso 191, Hamilton 182, Vettel 181, and Button 177. Red Bull have 383 points, McLaren at 359, and Ferrari at 317.

The next race is the Japanese Grand Prix in two weeks time. On to Japan.

Italian Grand Prix

Fernando Alonso won today's Italian Grand Prix at Monza in the Ferrari, Jenson Button in the McLaren finishing second, Alonso's teammate finishing third, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel finishing fourth, Nico Rosberg in the Mercedes finishing fifth, Vettel's teammate Mark Webber finishing sixth, Nico Hulkenberg finishing seventh in the Williams, Robert Kubica finishing eighth in the Renault, Rosberg's teammate Michael Schumacher finishing ninth, and Hulkenberg's teammate Rubens Barrichello rounding out the top ten.

The 53-lap race did feature Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren going out early which could end up being costly to his title hopes. Other than that, the race was pretty uneventful.

The results leave Webber in the lead with 187 points, Hamilton at 182, Alonso at 166, Button at 165, Vettel at 163, Massa at 124, Rosberg at 112, and Kubica at 108. The constructor's race has Red Bull at 350 points, McLaren with 347, Ferrari at 290, Mercedes at 158, and Renault at 127.
