After a chaotic start that brought out a safety car on the opening lap, Rosberg stayed clear of Red Bull's late charging Australian Daniel Ricciardo at the floodlit Marina Bay Street Circuit. Rosberg's win was his eighth of the season and first in Singapore, a grand prix that has only been won by world champions until now.

Rosberg got away cleanly to lead from Ricciardo, with Hamilton in third and Raikkonen behind him after Verstappen suffered a woeful start to slip back to eighth from fourth on the grid.
