SINGAPORE - Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton will not equal his racing hero Aryton Senna's 41 F1 wins after the Briton was forced to retire midway through the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday.
With his Mercedes team-mate and nearest rival Nico Rosberg poised to score points at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Hamilton's 53-point lead at the top of the standings is likely to be reduced.
Once again, the demanding 23-turn circuit saw the safety car appear after Nico Hulkenberg collided his Force India car with Felipe Massa's Williams on Lap 12.
More drama was in store later on in the evening as a man somehow made his way onto to the track, forcing the reappearance of the safety car as the drivers were forced to slow down and wait until the intruder could be removed from the track.
