Street circuits are all about the location but it is difficult to build an exciting race track on city streets. Singapore at night is certainly a spectacular location, but the race itself was one of the most boring I've seen all season.
Hamilton and McLaren were untouchable. They qualified on poll, had a perfect strategy, and ran a faultless race for the win. Meanwhile, everyone else floundered. The Redbulls looked threatening in qualifying but then couldn't make the same impression in the race for various reasons. Rosberg also looked like he might challenge Hamilton at one point but a drive through penalty sent him to the back of the field. The Brawn GP team did not qualify well, but got lucky in the race and scored some points as other teams had their problems.
Button put in a few great laps to pass Barrichello in the pits. This means Button actually increased his championship lead, which will boost his confidence nicely. I'm still hoping Barrichello wins the championship as it would be a perfect fairy tale ending for this amazing season. But, unless Button has problems, Barrichello's chance slipped further way after this race.
