Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Sebastian Vettel leads the Drivers’ Championship by 60 points over Fernando Alonso after Singapore, with Lewis Hamilton a further 36 points back and Kimi Räikkönen two points behind Hamilton.
Previous race
Sebastian Vettel dominated Singapore for his third consecutive victory, leading every lap from pole, setting the fastest lap, and winning by more than 32 seconds — his third grand slam of the season. Alonso climbed from seventh on the grid to second, with Räikkönen third despite starting from 13th. Nico Rosberg finished fourth after a tyre strategy that did not work as planned.
Between-race developments
Mark Webber has been issued his third reprimand of the season, for hitching a ride back to the pits on Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari after retiring at Singapore. Under FIA regulations, a driver’s third reprimand in a season carries an automatic ten-place grid penalty; Webber starts from the back of the top ten.
