On September 28, 2008, in the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, driver Alonso won the championship by completing 61 laps first under circumstances where he was not favored. However, various coincidences during the race made many people question the result.
The 2008 F1 Singapore Grand Prix was held. When the race reached the 14th lap, Alonso had just completed his first pit stop when his teammate Piquet's car crashed into the guardrail. After the accident, the organizer deployed the safety car to guide the racing cars. In this situation, the drivers could only slowly follow as per regulations, and all pre-race race strategies were rendered useless. Ultimately, Alonso, who was well-rested, became the biggest beneficiary of the accident.
