The Formula One calendar is back on track this weekend with the Singapore Grand Prix. The race will be held at the well-known Marina Bay circuit in the heart of Singapore and will prove to be a challenging task for all the drivers involved this year.
The race last year was action-packed to say the very least, with Lewis Hamilton emerging unscathed from a first lap melee involving Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. The Brit went on to dominate the race and picked up a massive victory en route to another World Championship. This time around too, Hamilton will have his eyes set on the top prize.
Hamilton took a stunning pole ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen while Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel managed to take the third grid place for Sunday's race.
