Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel led from start to finish to take victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, while Lewis Hamilton retired after losing power. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was second, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonnen third and Mercedes' Nico Rosberg fourth - 24 seconds behind the winner. Toro Rosso's Max Verstapen finished eighth but could find himself in trouble with his team after refusing to obey orders to give up his position to team mate Carlos Sainz who was ninth. This is Vettel's third win of the season and 42nd of his career - surpassing Ayrton Senna's tally. The German now moves to within eight points of Rosberg in the Driver's Championship, with Hamilton leading by 41 points with six races remaining.
