Lewis Hamilton has dominated the Singapore Grand Prix after both Ferraris were eliminated at the start of the race. Daniel Ricciardo ran virtually the entire race in second place and rightfully finished there, ahead of Valtteri Bottas. Carlos Sainz finished a brilliant fourth for Toro Rosso.
Known stuff about the EM on that part of the track.
Yes mister, it's been known since it's happened to Webber in the inaugural gp here. But since then, I don't recall any issues in between.

Notice that Vettel's best sectors would have given a fastest lap if strung together; however, interesting that Ricciardo only person to get close to him in S1 - likely before he crashed - so more potential for him perhaps.
But if we look at somewhere like Hungary, the quali modes were enough to pull Mercedes and Ferrari clear of the Bulls, so whilst I'd say they seemed favourites for pole in FP3, I think the others will improve more from sheer horsepower.
But yeah, expect it to be very very close (no 'domination'... ); if I had to bet, I'd probably put the money on Max, but think both Lewis and Seb still have a shot.

Welp. So much for close. Turns out Ferrari especially Vettel were sandbagging it. With Raikkonen and the Bulls beating the Mercs as well, this is literally the best scenario for Vettel. Still a blinder by him, he even clouted the wall on the way, so did Kimi. Interesting times.
Let's see what happens tomorrow.
