Formula 1 event in Singapore

The 2009 Singapore Grand Prix is also known as the 2009 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix. It is the 14th race of the 2009 Formula One season. In 2009, it was the second Formula One race to be held at night in Singapore. The race took place on 27 September 2009 and was contested over 61 laps at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. McLaren-Mercedes driver and reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton won the race. Toyota's Timo Glock finished second and the winner of the 2008 F1 race, Fernando Alonso came in third. In 2009, championship leader Jenson Button extended his lead by one point finishing in fifth, one position ahead of Brawn team-mate and Championship rival Rubens Barrichello. Fellow rival Sebastian Vettel had been challenging Hamilton for the lead before a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pitlane scuppered his strategy.

The inaugural F1 Rocks concert was also held in conjunction to the Formula One race in Singapore. Superstars involved in this concert include Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas, ZZ Top, Simple Minds, N*E*R*D, No Doubt, Jacky Cheung and A*Mei which took place on the September 24 through 26th nightly at Fort Canning Park. Other Singapore Grand Pix (GP) events include the Fuel Festival which features the Underworld Live, Will.i.am, New Order, Bloc Party, Guru Josh, and Johnny Vicious that takes place on September 24 2009 at Suntec Convention Centre as well as September 25 through 27th at the National Museum of Singapore. Singapore GP also features the Backstreet Boys, Travis, Carl Cox, and John Digweed on the 25th through 27th at night throughout the track side areas.
