F1 Contenders Say Singapore Could Be Turning Point

SINGAPORE (AP) – Formula One leader Fernando Alonso and title contender Mark Webber of Red Bull say this week’s Singapore Grand Prix could be the turning point of the season, ending McLaren’s recent dominance.

McLaren has won the past three races, but Ferrari and Red Bull are hoping the nature of the circuit in Singapore and upcoming races negates McLaren’s advantage.

Alonso leads the championship despite not winning since the German GP. He says he’s “probably the only one who can afford one mistake or one retire, the others cannot.”

Webber says the order will be reset, “which we certainly will like, but how much that changes around remains to be seen.”
