Lewis Hamilton
Well, what can I say? I did predict the victory and Lewis Hamilton showed just what a class act he was by getting back up to the very top of the game. Conditions remained good throughout the Singapore F1 GP night race, though there was plenty of drama with crashes, penalties and other race events.
Here’s the top ten positions:
1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Timo Glock
3. Fernando Alonso
4. Sebastian Vettel
5. Jenson Button
6. Rubens Barrichello
7. Heikki Kovalainen
8. Robert Kubica
9. Kazuki Nakajima
10. Kimi Raikkonen
Worst mistake of the day? Probably Vettel managing to get stung with an (avoidable) penalty by speeding through the pit lane. Not only is this dangerous, but it was a great way to gift Brawn a way to move further up in the points standing. Consequently, Barrichello is now 15 points from Button – with Vettel 25 points away.
Singapore was always going to be a tough one, which it certainly was. Six retirements proved that the course remains tough but exciting and so we do hope it’s going to stay on the race calendar. So is it possible that Hamilton’s latest win will see him on the podium for the world title? Very unlikely I’m afraid, he’d need the leaders to suddenly all drop form. However, it does show his commitment. If only McLaren had started with such a strong car…
