Hamilton wins under lights

Lewis Hamilton led from start to finish to capture his second victory of the season at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver had downplayed his chances in the build-up to the weekend but secured a surprise pole in Saturday's qualifying.

He then carried that form into Sunday's race under the lights at the Marina Bay street circuit and victory rarely looked in doubt for the reigning world champion with only Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel briefly threatening his lead.

Toyota's Timo Glock secured a career-best second while last year's winner in Singapore Fernando Alonso took third in his Renault.
