Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton has taken victory under the lights at Marina Bay. He saw off the challenge of Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. Lewis Hamilton extended his Formula 1 championship lead to 40 points after taking a dominant victory in Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, with title rival Sebastian Vettel paying the price for a Ferrari strategy call that left him third at the chequered flag.
After charging to pole position on Saturday at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, it was Hamilton who once again starred under the lights for Mercedes on race day, leading home Red Bull’s Max Verstappen after a controlled and composed display.
Vettel was left bemused by the pit call, stressing to his Ferrari team that he doubted the Ultrasofts would make it to the end of the race now. He slipped three seconds behind Hamilton and Verstappen, both of whom were looking safe to make it to the end without making a second stop.
Hamilton was able to manage his pace well at the front, keeping the gap to Verstappen at around four seconds, only for lapped cars to begin to play a role in the fight for the lead entering the final third of the race.
