Formula 1 2014 Singapore Grand Prix

The 2014 Singapore Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes.

The race in Singapore was round 14 of 19 of the 2014 season.

The 2014 Singapore Grand Prix (formally the 2014 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 21 September at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore. It was the 14th round of the 2014 Formula One season and the seventh running of the event as part of the Formula One World Championship. The 60-lap race was won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton after starting from pole position. Sebastian Vettel finished second for Red Bull and his teammate Daniel Ricciardo came in third. It was Hamilton's seventh victory of the season, his second in Singapore, and the 29th of his career.

Hamilton won the pole position by posting the fastest lap in qualifying and maintained his startline advantage heading into the first corner. His main championship rival Nico Rosberg suffered a wiring loom steering problem and started from the pit lane. Hamilton remained in the lead after the first round of pit stops before ceding it to Ricciardo for one lap when the second pit stop phase occurred. In the closing stages of the Grand Prix, Hamilton made his third (and final) pit stop for the change to tyres and rejoined narrowly ahead of Ricciardo in second. Vettel led the event for one lap until Hamilton passed him on lap 54 and maintained it to secure the race victory. There were four lead changes among three different drivers during the course of the race.

The result meant Hamilton regained the lead of the Drivers' Champions with 241 points, three ahead of teammate Rosberg who retired after 14 laps after his problem was unable to be rectified. Ricciardo maintained third place, with Fernando Alonso and Vettel moving ahead of the non-scoring Valtteri Bottas to move into fourth and fifth positions. Mercedes further extended their lead in the Constructors' Championship to 182 points ahead of Red Bull in second place. Williams and Ferrari maintained third and fourth places and Force India moved ahead of McLaren to take over fifth with five races left in the season.
