LEWIS HAMILTON feels relaxed rather than relieved after reclaiming the lead in the battle for this year's Formula One world title.

In taking the chequered flag at the Singapore Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed victory number 29 of his Formula One career and his seventh of the season, two more than when he won his only title in 2008.

Championship rival and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg suffered his second retirement of the campaign - a wiring loom breaking in the steering of the German's car, leaving him without a number of vital functions ahead of the start of F1's only night race.

Hamilton said: "I just feel relaxed. I came here to do a job, and I came through it without any issues on our side of the garage all weekend, which was a real blessing.

"I also came here hoping to gain seven points on Nico, with anything more than that a bonus.

"Of course, the extra points are a huge help, and you would think I should be relieved, but that's not the case. At the moment I'm not thinking that."

GOLF Holland's Joost Luiten overcame a poor start to claim his fourth European Tour title in the ISPS Handa Wales Open.

Luiten saw his two-shot overnight lead disappear when he bogeyed the first two holes of the final round at Celtic Manor, but carded a closing 71 to finish 14 under par, one shot ahead of England's Tommy Fleetwood and Ireland's Shane Lowry.
