Singapore GP

It is almost five months since Sebastian Vettel won a Grand Prix but he put that right under the spotlights of the night race at Singapore. The fact that he did it at the expense of Lewis Hamilton – who retired from the lead with transmission trouble – says everything about the continuing roller-coaster ride of the 2012 season as this much-needed victory keeps Vettel in the championship frame despite relatively few visits to the podium in the 13 races so far.

German GP – Alonso reigns supreme

British GP: Familiar faces

Given the hugely dramatic and variable season we’re having, it may be foolish to suggest that the first hint of a pattern is beginning to emerge. But that seemed to be the way of it when Mark Webber became only the second man to win two races in 2012, his victory in the British Grand Prix, coupled with second place for Fernando Alonso, beginning to edge this battling pair ahead in the championship.
