Vettel's 2019 result at Marina Bay also marks the last time he has won a race in Formula 1, and it's not likely that he could repeat that performance after a difficult year with Aston Martin. Sebastian Vettel is in the lead with five wins here, Lewis Hamilton is second with four victories, and Fernando Alonso is third with just two successful events. Nico Rosberg is the only man to have won the race once, and he's also the only one that's retired from the sport at this point.
Spanish gp f1 2017 drivers#
Only four drivers have managed to win the Singapore GP so far, and three of them are still competing to this day. Michael Schumacher himself had an unpleasant incident at this venue back in 2012, and you need only watch a POV replay from Marina Bay to understand how tricky it is indeed. We would suggest you watch the massive crash at the start of the 2017 race when Vettel, Verstappen, and Raikkonen were all out of the race just seconds after it began. If you haven't followed any of the previous races held here, you might be shocked to know that the safety car was required for all 12 of them.
Drivers have to go through a total of 23 corners, and things can get hairy quite fast. And there are plenty of factors to support that statement: increased air temperature, high humidity levels, and the unforgiving stop-start nature of the layout, to name just a few.Īccording to Mercedes F1, a lap around Marina Bay requires 91 gearshifts, more than on any other track on the calendar. Most drivers and fans will tell you that it's one of the most challenging events of the year. It meant drivers would have yet another street circuit to compete on, and it also marked the first night race for the championship since its inception. The Singapore GP first made its appearance on the Formula 1 calendar back in 2008.
