For the third race in a row, a Ferrari won - this time with Sebastian Vettel, from third on the grid. The German used pit stop strategy to get ahead of his pole-sitting team mate Charles Leclerc, who finished second. Red Bull's Max Verstappen completed the podium, with the top seven all using the same tyre strategy in a tactically complex and physically demanding race, slowed down by three safety car periods.

The top nine on the grid all started on the soft tyre, with everyone else on medium, apart from Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly who started from P11 on the hard and eventually finished eighth.

Vettel took advantage of an 'undercut', stopping before his team mate to move into the effective lead of the race. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton - who was jumped by Verstappen at the pit stops - adopted a different strategy, with a longer first stint and carefully-controlled pace to the finish, where he was classified fourth.

Pace management was seen in the first half of the race, which meant that the outcome was only finally decided in the closing stages of the grand prix.

Singapore kept up its 100% safety car record, with three safety car periods in the second half of the race influencing the action.

Both Renault drivers were forced into alternative strategies, with Daniel Ricciardo starting from last on the grid, and Nico Hulkenberg pitting for hards on the opening lap after some contact. McLaren's Carlos Sainz was in a similar situation, also switching to hards on lap one.

Although the frontrunners adopted the same strategy, there was a very big variety of tactics in the midfield, with a number of different one-stoppers and two-stoppers used.

Mario Isola: "It was a really interesting grand prix, with tyre strategy a key element. We saw plenty of pace management in the first half of the race, with drivers saving fuel and tyres for later in this very long grand prix: especially as the safety car wipes out any big advantage instantly. Managing the tyres in anticipation of the safety car proved to be a key element of the race, and the three safety car periods also had the effect of minimising tyre wear and degradation. With Singapore being a track that requires a lot of traction from the rear tyres, the set-up tends to place big demands on the front of the car, in order to protect the rear. In spite of that, we're happy with the levels of wear and degradation seen today. For the frontrunners, soft-hard turned out to be the optimal strategy, used by the top seven, but all three compounds played an important role in the race today and there were plenty of different strategies. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel, Charles Leclerc and Ferrari for a spectacular double podium at a spectacular race."
