Lewis Hamilton extended his lead in the world championship despite finishing the Singapore Grand Prix third behind winner Fernando Alonso of Renault.

The McLaren driver has a seven-point lead over Ferrari’s Felipe Massa with three races remaining.

Massa led early on but finished 13th after a delay when he left the pits with his fuel hose still attached.

Alonso ended a season’s frustration when a safety car period tallied perfectly with his team’s strategy.
The double world champion had been quick all weekend but qualified only 15th when a fuel pump problem stopped him taking part in the second session.
