Three races ago he was leading the championship, now he trails Lewis Hamilton by 28 points but don’t write off Sebastian Vettel just yet.

Having lost the lead in the standings to Hamilton at Monza, Vettel headed to Singapore with many predicting that it would be the race where he retook P1.

That didn’t happen.

Although he started from pole position, Vettel was involved – some would say instigated – an opening lap collision that took out the German, Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen.

It also handed Hamilton an unchallenged run to the chequered flag – and maximum points.

The Mercedes driver now leads the standings by 28 points over Vettel, however, there is still time for the German to fight back.
