Singapore Grand Prix 2015

Ferrari Sebastian Vettel leads from the start to finish winning his fourth Singapore Grand Prix, in which Lewis Hamilton was forced to retire due to faulty pedal. Sebastian wins in Singapore for the fourth time to help secure Ferrari first double podium of the season. A major security scare blighted Sebastian comfortable victory when a man ran onto the track.
In an eventful race full of incident, which saw Lewis Hamilton retire for the first time this season with mechanical problems the intruder wandered along the circuit with the cars accelerating 180mph. Moments later the man jumped back over the barrier but organizers here will face serious questions about how security could be breached so easily. Earlier in China this year, the same incident took place.

Vettel led from pole position to take his third victory of the season, one which brings him back into contention for the championship, now 49 points behind Hamilton. The world champion retired midway through allowing fourth place finisher Nico Rosberg to narrow the gap to 41 points. Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen took second and third place while both McLarens failed to finish with gearbox problems.

This superb drive moved Vettel onto 42 victories, one clear of Ayrton Senna in all-time list. Mercedes had not managed to come up with an overnight fix to their tyre troubles, losing ground to the Ferraris and Red Bulls. The next race will held in Japan on 27th September 2015. Last year, Japan Formula one was won by Lewis Hamilton.
