Singapore: All 1,600 spotlights will be trained on Lewis Hamilton this weekend, as the reigning world champion heads into Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix as the favourite to snatch a dominant win and emulate boyhood idol Ayrton Senna.

Hamilton has won seven of the 12 races so far this year including the last two races in Belgium and Italy. Victory on Sunday will see him score a hat-trick of wins and draw level with Senna's tally of 41 Grand Prix victories.
