Lewis Hamilton extended his lead in the world championship despite finishing the Singapore Grand Prix third behind winner Fernando Alonso of Renault.
The McLaren driver has a seven-point lead over Ferrari's Felipe Massa with three races remaining.
Massa led early on but finished 13th after a delay when he left the pits with his fuel hose still attached.
Alonso ended a season's frustration when a safety car period tallied perfectly with his team's strategy.
The double world champion had been quick all weekend but qualified only 15th when a fuel pump problem stopped him taking part in the second session.
Renault put him on a short first stint and he climbed up to 11th before an early stop on lap 12.
That meant that when the safety car came out after Alonso's Renault team-mate Nelson Piquet Jr crashed on lap 15, the Spaniard was alone among the front-runners in not having to stop for fuel and tyres.
