SINGAPORE - Sebastian Vettel ended a 13-month win drought by leading a Ferrari one-two victory at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, while Lewis Hamilton finished fourth but stretched his championship lead to 65 points.
The German, whose last victory was in Belgium in August 2018, took the checkered flag 2.641 seconds ahead of unhappy Monegasque team mate Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton’s Mercedes team mate and closest rival Valtteri Bottas finished fifth and now has 231 points to Hamilton’s 296.Thai racer Alexander Albon was sixth for Red Bull with British rookie Lando Norris seventh for McLaren and Pierre Gasly eighth for Toro Rosso.
