Lewis Hamilton has taken another major step towards winning his fifth world championship after a commanding victory at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Hamilton crossed the line 8.9 seconds clear of Verstappen with Vettel a further 31 seconds back.
Hamilton started the night race from pole position after he executed a brilliant lap in qualifying, and the world champion made no mistakes en route to a regulation win.
The Briton will head into the final six rounds of the season 40 points clear of Sebastian Vettel after a Ferrari strategy blunder cost their driver second place.
Vettel passed Max Verstappen on the opening lap here at the Marina Bay Circuit, but then lost out to the Red Bull driver after a questionably early pit stop.
