MADRID, Sept 29, 2008 (AFP) - Spain´s two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who won Formula One´s first night race in Singapore on Sunday, said on Monday he expects there will be more nocturnal Grand Prix.

"It was a new and certainly historic experience for Formula One. I don´t think it will be the only nightime race, after Singapore there will be other such Grand Prix, there is talk of one in Japan, in Malaysia," the Renault driver told Spain´s radio Cadena Ser.

"All us drivers had fun. It was a good experience," he added.

Alonso was dubbed the "Prince of Darkness" after he took the winning spot on Sunday ahead of Williams´ Nico Rosberg and McLaren´s Lewis Hamilton, who extended his championship lead despite finishing third.

The 27-year-old, who had dominated in practice but was forced to start in 15th after mechanical failure in qualifying, was helped by some pit-lane drama involving Ferrari´s Felipe Massa to secure his first win of the year.

The race took place in downtown Singapore under 1,500 specially created spotlights that were said to be four times brighter than that of those at football stadiums.

The government of the city-state is reportedly shouldering 60 percent of the annual tab of 100 million dollars (68.5 million euros) to host the event, for which it has a five-year contract.

Despite recording his first victory of the season, Alonso would not say if he would remain at Renault for 2009.

"This does not change anything. I have always thought, and desired, to stay at Renault and that things return to be as they were a few years ago, but it changes nothing," he said.

"In five minutes everything does not change, it has to be a well thought-out decision," he added.

After winning the drivers´ championship with Renault in 2005 and 2006, Alonso spent an unhappy year with McLaren - where he was overshadowed by rookie Lewis Hamilton - before returning to the French constructor this year.
