F1 2017: Hamilton Wins Singapore GP As Both Ferraris Crash

Mercedes-AMG F1's Lewis Hamilton won the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, consolidating his lead for world championship title. The Briton passed the chequered flag with a lead of 4.5 seconds ahead of Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo, while teammate Valtteri Bottas finished third. The victory is massive for Hamilton, who started fifth on the grid after a less than impressive qualifying but the explosive crash between the two Ferraris, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso in the opening lap eliminated most of the competition.

The Singapore GP started to a wet track after witnessing downpour through the day. While the top drivers six opted for intermediate tyres, others chose to get full wets. The race started with Vettel at the pole, but it was teammate Kimi Raikkonen making a fantastic start from fourth and was alongside Vettel and Verstappen just before Turn 1.
