Gary's view – Singapore Grand Prix

"Singapore all came down to strategies. The race fell right into Fernando Alonso's lap because he pitted before the Safety Car came out, following the accident involving Nelson Piquet. It was a shot in the dark in a lot of ways but it really paid off for him. Once he got in the lead, it was hard to see him throwing it away. When you're a two-time world champion, you don't do that. You saw that in 2006 when he took Renault to his second title in a car that shouldn't really have got there. But you saw here that Renault are making progress, as are AT&T Williams.

I thought it was a fantastic drive from Nico Rosberg to come second. Especially to recover from the stop-go penalty which cost him over half a minute. He never let his head go down when it would have been so easy to do that. And he didn't flinch when Lewis Hamilton was breathing down his neck near the end. It was just a very mature drive.

But for me, the Make It Happen moment came when Felipe Massa left the pits with his fuel hose still in the car. He was leading, and he should have come out in front. But the system went down and you can't have that. It was the moment when the race was lost - but it could be the same for his F1 championship.

Lewis Hamilton took advantage. You saw the way he drove. It was all about minimising the risk and maximising the number of points and under the circumstances, it was a good strategy. Part of that is because Singapore is a street circuit. The margin for error is so small. But it was a very physical race, the circuit was bumpy and a few of the crashes, like Kimi Raikkonen's, you might have got away with on a track.

Luck always plays a part. Alonso had some of that. Nico Rosberg didn't. But it's how you recover from that. Engineering-wise and tactically, you put the best plans you can in place. But you also give yourself windows of opportunity to be flexible if they don't pan out the way you hoped."
