Sebastian Vettel was fined £170 for speeding in the pit lane during second practice in the Singapore Grand Prix but still came out on top.
The German, who has effectively been fined 0.0017 per cent of his £10million salary, will believe he has a hat-trick of Singapore Grand Prix wins in his sights, although he will have to wait for Mercedes to show their full hand.
In the opening 90-minute session, as dusk turned to dark and the Marina Bay Street track was lit up by the power of 1,500 halogen lamps, so Lewis Hamilton also illuminated the stunning venue.
On the medium-compound tyres, Hamilton posted a time of one minute 47.055secs, leaving Red Bull duo Mark Webber, and in particular three-times champion Vettel in the shade.
Come second practice, and eventually a switch to the significantly faster supersoft rubber, Vettel was the one in a class of his own. – Mail Online
