Hamilton reclaims lead

Lewis Hamilton feels relaxed rather than relieved after reclaiming the lead in the battle for this year’s Formula One title.

In taking the chequered flag at the Singapore Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed victory number 29 of his Formula One career and his seventh of the season.

Championship rival and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg suffered his second retirement of the campaign – a wiring loom breaking in the steering of the German’s car, leaving him without a number of vital functions ahead of the start of F1’s only night race.
