00:01It's lights out, away we go. It wasn't a hold for very long at the start.

00:05Leclerc gets away well ahead of Hamilton and Vettel.

00:08And then on the inside, Alex Albon on Valtteri Bottas, making up a place at the start maybe.

00:12That's Max Verstappen ahead of Bottas, then comes Albon and then Carlos Sainz as well.

00:16Vettel is really going for it with Hamilton.

00:19Carlos Sainz almost gets a little bit squirrelly coming out of Turn 3.

00:23Hamilton fighting Sebastian Vettel.

00:25Hamilton's going to be under pressure with the sheer speed of the Ferrari through the flat king of Turn 6 into the braking tone of Turn 7.

00:33And he goes to the inside, he covers the apex of the corner, critical for Hamilton.

00:37The Ferrari speed is giving Lewis Hamilton a lot to think about.

00:40Vettel's coming back at him again. Hamilton defending for all his life on this opening lap.

00:45Then Verstappen ahead of Valtteri Bottas and Alex Albon as well.

00:49Look at that, Charles Leclerc flying out in front, you can't restrain him here in Singapore tonight.

00:54I have a back turn, back turn. Yeah, Hulkenberg crest into me I think.

01:00So Sainz is taking a normal racing line, Hulkenberg's just arriving on the seat at the wrong time for him.

01:08Right, on board with Daniel Ricciardo, who's now caught up to the back of Danny Kvyat.

01:11He's got the bit between his teeth and he wants to go for it at places you don't normally see.

01:16Cars getting past. Now we've seen Felipe Massa on the bridge get past Bruno Senna before.

01:20Can Daniel Ricciardo do the same on Kvyat? No he can't.

01:23Waiting in the back there to try and pick up some scraps is Lance Stroll.

01:27They nearly had to pick up scraps of carbon fibre.

01:30He somehow avoided going into the back of the Renault.

01:32Who's going to go down the inside of Danny Kvyat at turn 14.

01:36Nicely done. Stroll gets a good exit as well out of that turn.

01:40And Kvyat's lost two places in one corner.

01:42Vettel pissed. Verstappen nearly bounced back onto the racetrack.

01:48He got in so hot into that tight left-handed into the pit lane.

01:52I don't know why that was a quick stop from Ferrari wasn't it?

01:54Well three seconds he was stationary. Verstappen 2.3 seconds.

01:59It'll be very close between Leclerc and Vettel.

02:05Well Sebastian Vettel was stationary for three seconds. Leclerc 2.4 seconds.

02:10That six tenths might just be what he needs.

02:13Has Hamilton got enough life in those tyres to really hit hammer time?

02:18So close. Look at these two. Look at these two.

02:20Well Vettel's going to get ahead of Leclerc here and he is.

02:23I thought he would. I don't think Vettel's pit stop was that slow.

02:26What the hell? I mean...

02:29Charlotte was the best things we could do. Head down, the race is long.

02:32Yeah, yeah. My head is down and it will be down until the race.

02:36I just want to let you know my feeling.

02:41As Sebastian Vettel goes down the inside up here. Gasly, this could be contact.

02:45Gasly is forced off the track there as Sebastian Vettel was coming through

02:49whether the Frenchman wanted it or not.

02:52And Vettel has put himself now up into second place.

02:54He wasn't going to hang around there and there is Max Verstappen ahead of Lance Stroll.

02:59So Verstappen moves up into sixth place.

03:03Oh, and that could have been, that could have been very, very bad for both drivers there.

03:08Gasly getting out of the way just in time before there was major contact.

03:13This is Antonio Giovinazzi. Nobody ahead of him and leading a Grand Prix at the same time.

03:23That looked like a fairly easy overtake that one. Antonio didn't put up too much of a fight.

03:28The Italian against the Ferrari.

03:30Riding on board now with Alex Albon. Very nicely done through turn five.

03:37And he's passed the Alfa Romeo that has been using the medium tyre for the entirety of this race.

03:44And he's trying to defend against Daniel Ricciardo. And they contact at turn seven.

03:49And Giovinazzi comes off worst. And you hope that there's no damage on either.

03:53Giovinazzi now has another red-o right behind him.

03:56And Lando Norris, who we haven't mentioned for quite a while, is running in tenth place.

03:59Impressive if Ricciardo hasn't got right rear puncture or damage he has. He has. He has.

04:04He just sees a gap and he goes through it. That's what Ricciardo does.

04:12We have a Williams in the wall, and I think that could be George Russell.

04:18Grosjean and Russell tagling. Oh, Russell gets tagged by Grosjean and sent into the wall.

04:24It's at this point you give up on that corner. I think he just got more traction off the corner. He got more, more acceleration.

04:33Here goes Hülkenberg and Stroll. Stroll's got the inside line though on Hülkenberg who switches round.

04:38Wants to get decent traction coming out of that corner and does so. Hülkenberg ahead of Stroll.

04:45Norris maintaining his place there in seventh as best of the rest after the top three team, the big three.

04:50And he's got just Alex. Oh, it's a big lock up there by Lance Stroll.

04:56And he's got Antonio Giovinazzi with him. And he's got damage. He's got a puncture. Has Lance Stroll.

05:04Now Sergio Perez, what's happened to the racing point?

05:08Perez going very slowly indeed. And this looks like mechanical trouble for the Mexican.

05:13Check out, we need to stop the car on track. We need to stop the car on track.

05:18So find a position to stop. We need to stop on track. You have five cars behind.

05:22Down the inside goes Danny Ricciardo on Daniel Kvyat. And has he, by the time they get to the chicane, run out of room?

05:32Yes, he has. And Romain Grosjean might say thank you very much here as well as we head over the Anderson Bridge.

05:37Grosjean on the outside, Ricciardo on the inside. Ricciardo pushes Grosjean a little bit wide.

05:42They make contact, but Grosjean manages to get through. Here's Kevin Magnussen and Pierre Gasly going into Turn 14.

05:49Gasly's ahead. Hülkenberg's ahead. Magnussen's lost two places in one corner.

05:54Happened to Danny Kvyat a bit earlier on. Carlos Sainz now racing with Danny Ricciardo, and Sainz has got ahead of Ricciardo.

06:03Kimi Räikkönen is under pressure once again from Kvyat. Kvyat's going to have a go into Turn 1. Oh, dear.

06:09Broken suspension. That is Kimi Räikkönen out of the Grand Prix.

06:13Danny Kvyat got it all wrong, braking and arriving from late. Is that another safety car in this race?

06:19Yeah, definitely. Without question. He's right on the firing line.

06:24For the first time in 2019, Sebastian Vettel takes the chequered flag and wins the Singapore Grand Prix.

06:32And a win that, unlike in Canada, will stand this time around.

06:37What significant aircraft is they've just won three straight races on three completely different types of race tracks.

06:43Exactly. They're really back in business.

06:45And Ferrari are coming on strong in the second part of this season.

06:49Charles Leclerc had led the challenge tonight, though, in Singapore.

06:53The winning smile is on the face of Sebastian Vettel, back on top of the podium for the first time since Belgium last year.

07:02It's good to see it back.

07:04It's good to see it back.
