Singapore Grand Prix



Lewis Hamilton is taken out for a ride on the street circuit ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, Formula One's first ever night race




Felipe Massa of Brazil and Ferrari starts in pole position



Lap one: McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen drops to seventh at the start with Renault's Fernando Alonso gaining three places



Lap ten: Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari is the fastest car on the Marina Bay Street Circuit, closing the gap to Hamilton to 2.2 seconds



Lap 15: Nelson Piquet's crash allows several teams to pit but confusion in the Ferrari team sends Massa off too early




The Brazilian pulls away with the fuel hose still attached, sending crew sprawling and coming to a halt 500m down the pit




Massa is also given a 10-second drive-through penalty for the error, but Ferrari are relieved that nobody is seriously hurt



The crash and the pit chaos that interrupt many drivers leaves Fernando Alonso clear in the lead



The race approaches the two-hour mark but Alonso finishes his 61 laps, winning his first Grand Prix since rejoining Renault
