Toyota driver, Timo Glock, finishing in second place. Followed by the main star Renault, Fernando Alonso.
However, Hamilton’s success is not the main story of the night race. Red Bull-Renault mess race makes 2009 world championships increasingly pursed again.
Entering the Singapore Grand Prix, with only four races remaining, the opportunity for Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber to pursuit Brawn-Mercedes was already very thin. But, after the race last night, Red Bull almost game over.
Options to world champion actually only two: Jenson Button or Rubens Barrichello.
In fact, Vettel and Webber last night had a chance to gnawing difference points on drivers and constructors championship. They start the second and fourth. While Barrichello and Button slumped in the order of ten and 12.
Unfortunately, once the race start, disaster by disaster struck the Red Bull-Renault.
Mark Webber failed to finish due to brake problems. Vettel, who have opportunity to beat Hamilton, get the drive through penalty because of exceeding the speed limit while undergoing the second pit stop.
In the end, Webber was able to finish fourth. But pair of Brawn consecutive finish behind him. Button fifth, Barrichello sixth.
Means, the official Webber out of the struggle for the title. He is now 32.5 points behind in the back of Button (51.5 – 84), while only a maximum of 30 points left in the last three races.
