Sebastian Vettel once again stood on a Mercedes-free podium after dominating the 2015 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix weekend.

The Ferrari driver qualified on pole, led every lap and won the race with relative ease. He missed out on the fastest lap (and a Grand Chelem) by just 0.028 seconds—Daniel Ricciardo took this honour on his way to second place.

F1 debutant Alexander Rossi also deserves credit for beating Will Stevens in the battle of the Manors, but the likes of Nico Hulkenberg and Pastor Maldonado will have been glad to see the back of Marina Bay.

The drivers won't get their usual opportunity to take a break between rounds because the Japanese Grand Prix takes place this coming Sunday, September 27.
