And then they were two… Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton are now officially out of the race for the world championship. After the end of the Singapore Grand Prix, only Jenson Button can, mathematically at least, challenge the reigning Formula 1 world champion, Sebastian Vettel in the remaining races.

For most of the Singapore GP Vettel cruised into another easy victory, his ninth this season, as he led from the start and started to build an early lead by being over a second faster on each lap than his rivals in the early part of the race.

On lap 27, his advantage was seriously diminished as the safety car came out due to a collision between Michal Schumacher and Sergio Perez. The two made contact and the German’s Mercedes-Benz racecar went airborne and ended up hitting the barriers, thankfully without any further consequences.

Vettel, however, was able to fend off the ensuing challenge from Button’s McLaren and he crossed the finish line first ahead of the Brit, Webber, Alonso and Hamilton.
