Singapore: Paul di Resta recorded his career-best result as he picked up 12 points for Sahara Force India with a fourth-place finish even as his teammate Nico Hulkenberg returned empty-handed from the incident-filled Singapore Grand Prix.
Di Resta, for whom a sixth place result was best so far, was helped by Lewis Hamilton's retirement, whose MacLaren had a mechanical failure in lap 23.
Hulkenberg finished 14th after starting from 12th but set the fastest lap of the race with 1min 51.033 secs.
Hamilton was leading the race smoothly from pole position before his gearbox stopped responding. It helped Di Resta move up to fifth from sixth.
It was a blow to Hamilton's championship chances as a no-point show has now pushed him to fourth place with 142 points.
Hamilton's crashing out handed the race lead to Sebastian Vettel, who kept it till the end won the only night Formula One race, which was completed under two-hour time restriction.
