Singapore: Lewis Hamilton regained the Formula One drivers' world championship lead on Sunday when he claimed victory in the Singapore Grand Prix after his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg limped out with electronic problems.

The 29-year-old Briton led from pole position and dominated the 61-laps race before a lengthy Safety Car interruption reduced his lead and forced him to attack again in the closing stages when he passed Sebastian Vettel to win.

It was the 29th win of Hamilton's career, his seventh this year and his second in Singapore, ending four-time champion Vettel's run of three straight wins on the south-east Asian street circuit.

Hamilton came home 13.534 seconds ahead of Vettel, with Daniel Ricciardo third in the second Red Bull ahead of Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and Felipe Massa of Williams.

He moves up to 241 points, three clear of Rosberg, with five races remaining in one of the most tense and closely-fought championships of recent years.
