Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton made the most of his luck at the last race in Singapore, but the Briton will not need reminding of just how fickle fortune can be as he heads into this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver came away from the floodlit race through the streets of the city-state with a 28-point advantage over Sebastian Vettel, after capitalising on an opening-lap crash for his Ferrari rival to score an unexpected third consecutive win. With the gap between the pair the biggest it has been all year, Vettel will have to win four of the remaining six races, with Hamilton finishing second, just to even the score again.
