Fernando Alonso remains convinced he could have claimed his "biggest achievement of the last decade" in Singapore if he had not been caught up in the first-corner incident which took him out of contention.
Alonso made a lightning start from eighth on the grid at Marina Bay and watched the front three, Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen, make contact on the run down to Turn 1. However, the Spaniard's start had been so good he was on the inside of Verstappen when he was collected by Raikkonen's damaged car, meaning he was pitched into the air and spun around when he had looked set to inherit second position.
