Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton wins Singapore Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton took pole position from Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg after winning the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday to go three points clear.

The Brit finished just 0.007 seconds ahead of Sebastian Vettel, who claimed his best result of the year, while Daniel Ricciardo came third behind the pair.

Speaking after the race, Hamilton said: “A huge thanks to the team. What we’ve done this year is incredible. I knew we have a car we can fight with, and it was a great feeling throughout the race.
“The pressure was not too bad [on the final pit-stop]. I didn’t not know the situation, if, for example the safety car would come out, but I knew we had a chance to get by.”
Rosberg was forced to retire after an electrical fault as Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa made up the top five.
