Fernando Alonso Wins Singapore GP

Filed under: Formula One

SINGAPORE (AP) -- Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has won the Singapore Grand Prix and moved closer to the Formula One championship lead.

The Spaniard made it back-to-back wins Sunday by holding off Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel over the final laps of the race, winning by just two-tenths of a second.

Red Bull's Mark Webber finished third - despite a collision that put McLaren's Lewis Hamilton out of the race. Webber has an 11-point lead in the championship with four races left.

The collision was investigated by stewards, but they took no action.

McLaren's Jenson Button finished fourth, ahead of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Williams' Rubens Barrichello.
