Description
The 2008 Singapore Grand Prix was a historic yet highly controversial Formula 1 race won by Renault's Fernando Alonso, starting from 15th on the grid. Held on 28 September 2008 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, it made history as the first-ever night race in Formula 1 history. However, the event is most infamous for the "Crashgate" sporting scandal, where Renault management ordered driver Nelson Piquet Jr. to deliberately crash to manipulate the safety car in favour of his teammate. On lap 14, his teammate Nelson Piquet Jr. deliberately spun out and crashed heavily into the concrete wall at Turn 17. This precise location lacked a nearby crane, guaranteeing a prolonged Safety Car period.
Under the 2008 regulations, the pit lane closed immediately when the safety car emerged. Leading cars were forced to wait to fuel up or face heavy penalties, vaulting a pre-pitted Alonso straight to the front of the pack.
