Fernando Alonso underlined his status as Singapore's Prince of Darkness, by winning the night-time grand prix for the second time in three years and edging closer to leader Mark Webber in the F1 championship. - 0 Related Links * Alonso wins in Singapore * Korean GP could be cancelled The Spaniard steered his Ferrari to victory in punishing conditions on the twisty street circuit to edge out the snarling Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Webber. The win allowed Alonso to leapfrog last year's winner Lewis Hamilton - who failed to finish the race after a collision with Webber - into second place in the drivers' championship, 11 points behind Australian Webber. Within seconds of taking the chequered flag he was cranking up the psychological warfare with just four races remaining in the 2010 season. "We are in a sport where you cannot be 100 percent fit and focused for all the races, all the months - so we go up and down," the Spaniard said. "We can say that now, at this point, I am at a peak, 100 percent motivated. It is good to be at this point now. "This year it feels for me the championship has just started so I am very happy. "It seems we can be competitive on any track. So let's see in the remaining races. And 'Forza Ferrari'." Prior to the race Alonso had rated his chances of winning the championship as '50-50'. "I can win, or I can not win," he smiled enigmatically, before revisiting the theme with yet more statistics. "We are five drivers," he said, referring to the two he shared Sunday's podium with plus McLaren pair Hamilton and Jenson Button. "Around 20 percent chance all of us. Maybe Mark a little bit in front, because he is leading. "It remains very tight. Mark is still first with some margin, so... for the others we need to keep catching. For sure we will do our best -- we don't know if it will be enough. We hope so but people can be sure we (Ferrari) will fight 100 percent to the end." Alonso's confident demeanour betrayed the twice champion's diplomacy and with a glint he added: "Anything can happen in these four races. Any of us can win two or three consecutive races. "Or you have two or three retirements and you are off the championship. It will depend all on these four races. Hopefully with no mistakes, high concentration, we keep momentum in Japan." The circuit moves to Suzuka next followed by South Korea, Brazil and the finale in Abu Dhabi in November. Source http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/260920...so-m-peak.html
