2010 Singapore Grand Prix Race day in Singapore

Who would have thought that Fernando Alonso would score a 50 point maximum in the last two races, while Lewis Hamilton came away with nothing? That is exactly what's happened in the last fortnight as the momentum between the top three teams swings once again.

This was the 2010 Singapore Grand Prix on AUTOSPORT Live. Thank you for joining us over the weekend and we will be back for the Japanese Grand Prix from Suzuka in two weeks time.

Alonso is the big mover in the points standings, taking over second after his win this evening. Webber's lead is now 11 points, with Hamilton dropping to 20 behind after a costly retirement that also dents McLaren's advances in the constructors' race. World Championship standings, round 15: Drivers: Constructors: 1. Webber 202 1. Red Bull-Renault 383 2. Alonso 191 2. McLaren-Mercedes 359 3. Hamilton 182 3. Ferrari 316 4. Vettel 181 4.
