It was roughly around the expected pit window time but Alonso, who\u2019d started from 15th and had already made a pit stop, was benefited massively \u2013 surging to the race lead. By contrast, Ferrari star Felipe Massa had a nightmare in the pits and ultimately finished 13th. He would go on to lose the drivers\u2019 title that year to Lewis Hamilton by just a point, and later took legal action.<\/p>\n<p>When Piquet jnr was dropped from Renault in 2009, he said he\u2019d been asked by his team in Singapore to crash to improve the race situation for Alonso. Conspiracy charges stemmed from an FIA race fixing investigation and Renault boss Flavio Briatore and his director of engineering Pat Symonds left the team. Briatore returned to the team in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year\u2019s winner: Lando Norris in his McLaren Overtakes completed last year: 62 (by contrast, there were two&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,817,813,816,85],"class_list":["post-191427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
