In truth, after he got away cleanly, the race was always his - and he duly delivered his seventh victory of the season to extend his lead in the Drivers' Championship. Bottas had a tougher task to keep Raikkonen at bay with the Ferrari man behind on fresher tyres, but despite some frustration at blue flags, the Finn drove a mistake-free race to come home fourth. I came here knowing that Singapore is a hard one for us. But I'm always optimistic, thinking that if we're really diligent and do our work, we can create some chances.

Then Friday was already a good day for us. Saturday didn't start off well, but then all of the sudden that special lap came in. Knowing that we would start on pole, I knew that it was a great opportunity for us to capitalise on. I had a great start and from then I was able to manage it. When I hit the traffic, I was just mindful not to take any risks. When you start to get closer to another car, you start losing grip and start sliding around more, so there's a higher chance of mistakes.

If you're lucky you catch the cars at the right point and they let you by so you don't lose any time, but today I always caught them at an unfortunate point. So when Max was right behind, I had to go on the defensive, and I thought to myself "Bro, you're not getting by - not today!

What the teams said - Race day in Singapore

There was only one Safety Car in the very beginning, but it came out too early to trigger any pit stops. It's very difficult to follow and overtake on this track, so once the Safety Car was back in, it was a fairly uneventful race. The first stint on the HyperSoft tyres was very straightforward. We knew that the second stint on the Soft tyres would be more difficult because it was so long and towards the end the tyres were pretty much gone.

I can't be happy with P4, but a better result today was made very difficult by the qualifying result yesterday.

However, we still got a good result for the team, which is great because everyone has been working so hard to improve the car and the set-up for Singapore. Now, just 24 hours later, a wonderful feeling of contentment washes through the whole team from the knowledge that we've done a good job here and increased our lead in both championships. More importantly, we have put right the weaknesses that have plagued us at this circuit for a number of seasons and validated a lot of the theories and analysis of why we have suffered previously.

This sport can beat you up, like happened recently to us in Spa, but it is days like today that remind us why we are so very fortunate to work in Formula One. But this feeling, too, will last for about 10 more minutes before we begin fretting about Sochi, because our competition is desperately strong and the remaining races cover a very wide range of challenges.

We are all aware that we need to keep having weekends like this one if we are to finally achieve the results that we so crave. The entire team has worked so hard to understand the car and take steps forward, especially since our defeat in Spa, and this result is an indication that our work is paying off.

We prepared well for this weekend, came here determined to make a step and we delivered. It was a weekend of many parts: There will be many discussions about backmarkers, who had a big influence on both drivers' races; I think this is a topic for the drivers to discuss among themselves, but perhaps there is a way to optimise those blue flag rules on street circuits like this.

From our side, we can be pleased with a very solid weekend. We have leads in both championships but they change nothing in the mind-set of this team. We have six weekends to go and we know how quickly the situation can swing back against us. We will take it weekend by weekend, feet on the ground and determined to maximise our potential every time. Vettel pounced at the start and passed Verstappen cleanly. But opting to pit early, he lost time behind an obdurate Perez - and lost the place back to Verstappen when the Dutchman pitted. From there, on ultrasoft rubber in contrast to his rivals, he was forced to manage his tyres and came home a distant third.

Raikkonen likewise couldn't make much headway and never got close enough to make a move on Bottas in the battle for fourth. I lost time behind another car and the brakes got a little too hot, it was close but we got the worse of it. Our target was not to finish third, but today we just did not have enough speed. I could see Bottas struggling with his front right tyre and locking it sometimes, I could get closer to him but not enough to pass. Through the middle part of the track it was even difficult to follow him because we were losing downforce.

In the first stint we stayed out longer hoping for a Safety Car, but it did not happen. The qualifying here is the key and obviously, when you start behind, your race ends up being a bit boring, getting stuck behind other cars. There was no way we could use our speed. Obviously we wanted more, we did what we could, but this is what we have got today.

After Sebastian overtook Verstappen, we went for an aggressive strategy, trying for the undercut on the ultrasoft tyres. Unfortunately, during the one lap that would prove to be crucial, we found ourselves behind another car and so we were unable to run at a fast enough pace. Now, calmly and with determination, we will tackle the remaining six races, fighting all the way to the end. Ricciardo had a relatively quiet race - he held station from the start, and closed in on Raikkonen and Bottas ahead without being able to mount a true challenge.

Verstappen was much more in the thick of it - fighting hard with Vettel at the start, he lost second place before effectively regaining it by putting in some quick laps when it mattered to overcut the German in the pit stops. Qualifying is so important here and the race was really lost yesterday.

I could catch Kimi, I would stay close to him for a couple of laps and then I would have to back-off. I had the pace to get back on his gearbox but I was never quite close enough to make a move. I really had to hope for a mistake or that Kimi and Valtteri would start tangling and I could capitalise. Street circuits are my favourite tracks to drive but they can also be frustrating.

In Monaco I listened to Lewis in seventh place complaining about following closely and now I understand what he was complaining about. I think everyone was in the same boat. Last night we spent quite a few hours here trying to figure it all out and I hope in Russia everything will fall into place. My only real chance to win was at the start, unfortunately it was a bit all over the place and I knew my chance had gone.

Luckily the team had me on a great strategy and therefore managed to get me back into second place with a brilliant pit stop. When I got close to Lewis due to back markers I never really thought the pass would be possible.

It was also slightly unfair how he had been held up by drivers not getting out of the way. I had a few driveability issues again behind the Safety Car and pulling away from the pit stop was dreadful, but in the end we managed it well and got the result we wanted. After the way the car has felt at certain points this weekend, qualifying on the front row and taking second place today is an amazing result. On the first lap he dropped a place to Seb in the drag down to Turn 5, but thereafter we managed to make the strategy work in order to jump Ferrari at the pit stop and get Max alongside Seb as he exited the pits.

From then on, Max tried to put pressure on Lewis but Lewis always had a tenth or two in hand. Daniel held his position at the start but his race then became about tyre management and trying to go as long as possible in the first stint in order to give him the better Ultrasoft tyre for the second half of the race.

Alonso started well, ran long and jumped his midfield rivals, helped by starting on the ultrasoft rubber. A 'best of the rest' seventh was McLaren's best result since Baku and much needed for the team who are under pressure from Force India in the Constructors' stakes. Vandoorne kept his race clean, but couldn't make inroads starting from so far back and finished outside the points.

Understanding Race

Normally something happens in front of us, but today all six cars ahead finished the race, so P7, behind the top six cars, is a small win for us. So, even though we were alone, it was about controlling the gaps. Overall it has been a very positive weekend. At one point, we had the fastest lap of the race, which is a great reward for all the hard work that has been going on behind the scenes not only by everybody here trackside, but also back at the factory.

A race to forget. Perez and Ocon were side by side at the start, which ended with the two colliding and Ocon being dumped into the wall. The Mexican then set about rebuilding his race, but bottled up behind a slow Williams, he lost his cool and collided with Sirotkin when passing the Russian. A drive-through penalty and a lowly finish were the results of a frustrating evening. On lap one I was coming out of turn three, picking up the power and all of a sudden I felt a hit.

I feel so bad for the team because we really need to be scoring points at every race and it should have been a great day for us. After that the race became quite tricky and I soon realised it was going to be difficult to score points. I think we underestimated how difficult it would be to overtake the Williams and Sirotkin was defending very hard and moving around under braking.

When I finally got alongside him, I tried to close the door a bit too early and we made contact. The car felt great this weekend and we knew a strong result was possible, but instead we're leaving Singapore with zero points.

I am not going to analyse what happened at the start. All I will say is that I got off the line well and I saw an opportunity to go past Sergio. I had good grip on the outside, but then I felt a hit and I was in the wall. The only positive from tonight is that we have a strong car and we can be back scoring well in Russia.

There are still six races remaining to score as many points as we can, so we will turn the page and keep working hard for the next race. We will therefore reinstate the rules of engagement we operated last year after similar incidents, which means they cannot race each other. This disastrous race is all the more frustrating when you consider the speed we showed in qualifying and the opportunity that has passed us by. We will have some discussions behind closed doors and will learn from what happened so that we can become stronger as a team.

Hulkenberg had a poor getaway, losing out to his team mate at the start. He pitted earlier than Sainz and spent much of the afternoon in traffic, but stuck to the task at hand to work his way back into the points. What can we do to diversify research participation?
