Among the major losers of the race – the former leader of the overall standings Nico Rosberg and Russian Daniil Kvyat. Both problems started another lap, both became unlucky number 14 Rosberg came down the road, failing to pass a total of 14 laps and finished on 14 Kwiat position.
Although the race at the Singapore Grand Prix can not be called boring, its main event took place even before the arrival. Because of problems with the clutch could not go on lap Nico Rosberg, who led the championship standings throughout the season. The pilot of the Mercedes eventually started from the pit lane, and contrary to expectations, the pilot was in no hurry rasshvyrivat rivals, which is usually a half hour of the race easily outperforms a couple of laps. Fully restore rabotospobnost system and failed, so the race for Nico only lasted half a dozen laps. When Rosberg drove to his first pit stop, after changing a tire could not engage first gear. After that, the disappointed Germans could only watch as his teammate alone leading the race, wins it and takes the lead of the overall standings by a margin of three points.
The closest pursuers Hamilton became pilots of Red Bull, and multiple world champion Sebastian Vettel spent the entire race ahead of his teammate Daniel Riccardo, that this season does not happen often. The German took the lead at the start and stayed ahead until the finish line, although in the latter part of the race trying to put pressure on the Australian partner and eventually fell behind him in less than a second. Serious threat to the leader of the riders “red bull” is not represented: the finish Hamilton and Vettel shared a dozen seconds, at certain moments of the race gap grew almost to half a minute. But in the middle distance, detachments were canceled car safety: let him out on the track to clear debris after not too destructive contact between Sergio Perez of Force India and Adrian Sutil to Sauber.
Fernando Alonso at Ferrari had a good race, the riders ahead periodically Red Bull, but in the end always giving them positions. As a result, the Spaniard finished on the tail of Ricardo, but higher up the fourth position and could not. In the end zone and finished Felipe Massa (Williams), Jean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso), Sergio Perez (Force India), Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari), Nico (Force India) and Kevin Magnussen (McLaren). Another pilot McLaren, former world champion Jenson Button, closer to the end of the race descended from a line because of the broken gear. Also the finish line got Kamui Kobayashi (Caterham), Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) and Adrian Sutil (Sauber). It is noteworthy that theoretically quite dangerous city route causes all gatherings were various problems with the technique.
To the losers Singapore Grand Prix should be ranked and Russians Daniil Kvyat. As Nico, challenges the pilot Toro Rosso began to lap – refused “drinker”. What’s on the track, which is on the eve of Daniel compared with the “bath, but without the hole” (to watch the race the temperature reached 30 degrees), can not be called a trifle. As a result, during the arrival Russians lost positions and finished the race in 14th place. The same position, and Daniel takes in the overall standings – with 8 points to his credit he loses 1st place and 11 points to his partner Jean-Eric.
Singapore Grand Prix has made a lot of changes in the overall standings table – and it’s not limited to the change of the leader (on the account at Hamilton is now 241 points, with Rosberg – 238). In third place is still Daniel Riccardo, which brought the number of points to 181 Valtteri Bottas But paused briefly at the fourth position – just two ahead of his opponent. Now in fourth place with 133 points is Alonso, fifth with 124 – Vettel and Bottas scored 122 points allow them to close only the top six.
