Race recap:
The gruelling night race in Singapore can often throw up a surprise, and it was the case again this year with Mercedes losing nearly two seconds in lap pace compared to the opposition since the last Grand Prix.
Vettel dominated the race for Ferrari, controlling the race brilliantly despite two safety car periods, the first for this collision between Hulkenburg and Massa

and the second caused by a track invader:

Ricciardo in second place for Red Bull was little threat to Vettel, with Vettel even backing him up at one point to help his teammate Raikkonen who came third.
Rosberg was a disappointing fourth for Mercedes, but he will be happy that he at least made up ground on his teammate and championship leader Hamilton who retired halfway into the race.
Bottas was fifth for Williams, ahead of Kvyat in the other Red Bull who was unlucky to lose places in the first round of pitstops.
Perez placed for seventh for Force India, just managing to keep ahead of the hard charging Toro Rossos of Verstappen and Sainz. Verstappen was truly amazing all weekend, with some great overtakes once again after recovering from being over a lap down after stalling on the grid. Sainz may not feel so warmly towards his teammate after Verstappen refused to follow team orders to let Sainz through.
Nasr was tenth for Sauber in the final points paying place ahead of his teammate Ericsson. The Lotuses were next, Maldonado twelfth after colliding with Button's McLaren, and Grosjean classified thirteenth although he didn't make the finish line due to gearbox problems. The Manor Marussias finished two laps down, with American debutant Alexander Rossi having a good weekend despite a crash at the end of the first practice session. Both McLarens of Alonso and Button retired with gearbox problems.
