F1 Contenders Say Singapore Could Be Turning Point

Formula One leader Fernando Alonso and title contender Mark Webber of Red Bull said 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 both Ferrari and Red Bull are hoping the nature of the circuit in Singapore and upcoming races should negate McLaren's advantages.

Alonso leads the championship despite not winning since the German GP and says, of the title contenders, "I'm probably the only one who can afford one mistake or one retire, the others cannot."

Webber said: "We will have a reset in terms of the pecking order, which we certainly will like, but how much that changes around remains to be seen."
