World Champion records second win of 2009 with flawless drive while Champion-elect looks unassailable...

On a great night for British drivers, Lewis Hamilton won the Singapore Grand Prix and Jenson Button extended his lead at the top of the Drivers Championship.

With three races remaining, Button is now [1.15] to become the second British World Champion in as many seasons after he finished Sunday's race in fifth position.

Hamilton traded no higher than [5.9] as he notched-up his second race win of the season with an assured drive. At [150.00], Lewis won't win this year's Championship but he did everything right in Singapore and this, along with his Hungarian Grand Prix triumph, are promising signs for 2010.

Button's advantage in the Championship was enhanced when Red Bull's Sebastien Vettel broke the pit lane speed limit during his second stop for fuel and tyres. He received a penalty which demoted him from second to fourth place.

With 30 points availble from the next three races, Vettel is now 25 points behind Button.
The German driver is now [55.0] to win the Championship.

Ruben Barrichello, who finished sixth in Singapore, can be backed at [7.8].

Timo Glock put in a great drive to record a career-best second place finish. He traded at a low of [8.4] in the race winner market. Fernando Alonso finished third.

Mathmetically, Red Bull could still snatch the Contructors' Championship title but that seems extremely unlikely with Brawn 42.5 points ahead with only a further 54 on offer.

Brawn are in to [1.01] to win the Constructors' Championship with Red Bull out to [90.0].
