On 22 September 2019, Sebastian Vettel won the Singapore Grand Prix ahead of Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc. The result gave the Scuderia its first one-two of the season and marked the first time any team had finished first and second in Singapore.
The pit stops that changed Ferrari’s running order
Charles Leclerc started from pole and led the opening phase, with Lewis Hamilton second and Sebastian Vettel third. Ferrari brought the German into the pits first, seeking to protect his position and gain ground on the Mercedes ahead.
The fresh tyres produced a powerful undercut. When Charles Leclerc stopped on the following lap, he emerged behind his teammate, changing the order between the two Ferraris.
Sebastian Vettel subsequently worked through traffic and managed the race through three Safety Car periods. He finished 2.641 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen third.
A fifth Singapore victory for Sebastian Vettel
The result was Sebastian Vettel’s fifth win at the Marina Bay circuit and his 53rd career Grand Prix victory. It also ended a personal wait for a win stretching back to the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix.
For Charles Leclerc, second place followed the frustration of losing the lead through the pit-stop sequence. Ferrari nevertheless left Singapore with the maximum finishing positions available to its two cars.
