Who is the most successful driver at the Singapore Grand Prix?
Having won five times at the Marina Bay Circuit, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel is the most successful driver at the Singapore Grand Prix, but he could be joined by Lewis Hamilton this weekend on the number of race wins.
The Singapore Grand Prix was the first ever F1 race to be run at night under floodlights and, visually, it has always provided a great show.
As usual on a tight track, qualifying is almost the most important factor when it comes to the race result, which explains why nine of the 14 races held to date have been won from pole position.
The King of Singapore is Sebastian Vettel, who won here five times, on four occasions from pole, while his total podium tally is eight. With the German quitting the sport in 2022, he could lose his crown to Lewis Hamilton who has the same number of poles and four wins to date, while he is also closing in on the German’s record for top three finishes, with seven.
Three other drivers still racing have also won at Marina Bay: Fernando Alonso has done so twice and Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez have one victory apiece, while another retiree, Nico Rosberg also won here once.
Of the teams, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes lead the way, level on four wins, while Ferrari has the lion’s share of pole positions with seven to its name. As for podium places, it’s the blue of Red Bull that leads the way with 14 top three finishes.
