Fernando Alonso goes into the last six races of the 2012 Formula 1 World Championship with a 29-point lead over Sebastian Vettel.
Unremarkable though that may seem in itself, the Spaniard's ability to bring home results from comparatively uncompetitive scenarios has been one of the mainstays of his campaign, and he pulled another trick out of the bag in Singapore on Sunday.
