After gaining the lead in the final third of the race, Alonso went on to win the race. He made a single stop mid-race, after that a safety car appeared, and he was at the front.Alonso is a smart man and he would have never understood, why would he need a weird 2-stop strategy as a midfielder (remember, a SC can also appear on lap 45 before your second pitstop and throw everything away again) without a proper explanation. He forgets his first few races, Spa where Lewis unfairly had the win take off him and also the pit infringement Massa got a fine for yet Sutil got a time penalty in Hungary. Symonds. "Fernando, you are so far back on the grid that the only chance of a win is to gamble on an early safety car. Piquet Jr. initially characterised the crash as a simple mistake.On 30 August 2009, reports by the Brazilian television station On 4 September, following the investigation by the FIA, Renault F1 were formally accused of interfering with the outcome of the 2008 Singapore race and conspiring with Piquet Jr.On 10 September, Piquet Jr. made the second of two statements to the FIA.On 11 September, the day after Piquet Jr.'s statement to the FIA was leaked, Renault F1 stated that it intended to take legal action against Nelson Piquet Jr and his father in both French and British courts, stating that "...today the ING Renault F1 Team and its managing director Flavio Briatore personally wish to state they have commenced criminal proceedings against Nelson Piquet Jr and Nelson Piquet Sr in France concerning the making of false allegations and a related attempt to blackmail the team into allowing Mr Piquet Jr to drive for the remainder of the 2009 season".On 14 September 2009, Pat Symonds was also reported to have been offered immunity from action if he provided the FIA with details of the alleged conspiracy.On 16 September the Renault F1 team announced it would not be contesting the charges at the meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 21 September, and stated that both Briatore and Symonds had left the team.The ING Renault F1 Team will not dispute the recent allegations made by the FIA concerning the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. As Rosberg crossed the line second, it is pretty hard to dispute the notion that, if the FIA found out what had happened on the day of the race, or maybe a week after the race, Renault would have been kicked out of the event and the victory would have been given to Rosberg, the highest placed finisher who wasn't cheating.At the end of the day, safety cars happen, for all sorts of reasons, and Ferrari reacted to it by panicking and botching a pitstop, whereas Mclaren got their pitstops right.
