Vettel rules in Singapore as Hamilton fails to finish

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel won an incident-packed Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix yesterday after world champion Lewis Hamilton retired early for the first time this season and a spectator set heart rates fluttering when he strolled on to the track. Hamilton was running fourth approaching the halfway point of the 61-lap race when he started losing engine power, rapidly dropping back through the field before he was told to return to the garage and call it a night.
