Ferrari’s Singapore one-two takes F1 rivals by surprise

It was the first time any team had finished first and second at the race since it first featured in 2008. “If you look at the hard facts, then we came here after we got completely destroyed in Hungary,” said Vettel, referring to a similarly twisty race in August where Ferrari finished more than a minute behind Lewis Hamilton’s race-winning Mercedes.

It helped that Mercedes messed up their strategy in Singapore, but Leclerc still put his car on pole for the third race in a row. With Vettel making mistakes and struggling in recent races, the outcome made Mercedes — who started the year with five successive one-two finishes — sit up and take notice.
