Lewis Hamilton finished third in an incident packed Singapore Grand Prix.
The race was held on the street circuit at night and was an excellent spectacle.

Massa on pole, was building a good lead until an incident in the pits with the fuel hose and a safety car (following Piquet crashing his Renault into a wall) left him last.

The race was turned upside down by these incidents.
Several cars were forced to pit for fuel and got penalties.

Hamilton dropped from second to eighth but made up ground thanks to the penalties and some great driving.

Alonso won the race from twelth on the grid. He drove well.

Lewis Hamilton said:

"A podium is a great result. I'm quite happy with seven points."

Hamilton can now afford to finish second behind Massa in all the three remaining Grands Prix and still win the title.

But the 23-year-old said he would not let that stop him trying to win the races in Japan, China and Brazil.

"We're going to approach the next few races exactly the same as we have this one," he said.

"I have no doubts we have a competitive package to compete with them but without a doubt it will be a very tough battle.

"It's all about scoring points. We came here with a one-point lead and I could see the Ferraris were very competitive this weekend and Felipe was driving well, so I knew it would be very tough to beat them.

"But fortunately the race had a couple of incidents which didn't benefit them but we did a solid job and came back with the points.

"So moving forward, we definitely can't get ahead of ourselves because, as you can see, lots of things can happen.

"So we will just focus on doing a solid job, scoring more points hopefully."

Hamilton found himself third, right behind Williams driver Nico Rosberg, in the closing laps but decided not to try to challenge for second.

"Nico was driving very well, wasn't making any mistakes and so unless I made a stupid manoeuvre - which was just unnecessary - there was no point really," he said.

"So I was just trying to keep with him and then with three laps to go it was clear I wasn't going to be able to overtake him, so I just brought it home."

Massa said:

"The green light was on and I drove away," explained Massa.

"The only problem was a human problem and the green light came at the wrong moment."

Massa ground to a halt at the end of the pit lane and his Ferrari crew eventually managed to wrestle the fuel hose free - but too late for the Brazilian to rescue his race and he finished down in 13th.

"We could have been ahead (in the title race) because we had a fantastic pace and we could have finished first and second," he said.

"But racing is racing. We're all human beings and everyone can make a mistake.

"I am not the kind of guy who goes to the guy (who made the mistake) and fights with him, because we need him, we need everyone together for the last three races.
