168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez - 10

Was the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix the best race༒ of Sergio Perez’s F1 career? Probably not given that he went from the back of the grid to win at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. However, all in all🌸, Perez resisted immense pressure all race before winning by over seven seconds. An outstanding drive.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - 9

Charles Leclerc claimed his ninth pole position of▨ the year but once again couldn’t convert it into the victory. A poor start, particularly the second phase of it, cost him the race🔴 lead to Perez. From then on, Leclerc shadowed the Mexican but couldn’t get through despite applying a lot of pressure.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 6

A solid result for Carlos Sainz at the Marina Bay Street Circuit but his pace was lacklustre all 🦩weekend. He held Lewis Hamilton up for the first half of the🌌 race before fending off Lando Norris - in the slower McLaren - after the Safety Car. The podium finish covers up his lack of pace on a Sunday once again.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - 9

Another classy♔ drive from Lando Norris in Singapore. Cool, calm and collected. He made no mistakes and kept Verstappen at bay for over a dozen laps. Norri♍s just needs a car that warrants his level of talent.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo - 6

Outgoing McLaren driver🃏 Daniel Ricciardo enjoyed his best race of the year by finishing fif🔥th. Ricciardo was very fortunate by the timing of the Safety Car, allowing him to jump a host of midfield cars. Generally, his overall pace was poor, which is reflected in his rating.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll - 7

Lance Stroll scored his best result of the year with sixth. He did benefit from the timing of the Safety Car𒆙 and switched to slicks, but it was still a strong Sunday drive for the Canadian.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 3

It was the worst weekend of the season for the reigning F1 champion, but it wasn’t entirely his fault to begin with. He was forced to abort his final lap in qualifying due to a lack of fuel, putting him eighth on the grid. He made a poor start after being in the incorrect engine mode before struggling to make his w𒆙ay through the order. A couple of Safety Cars gave him a lifeline but he locked up heavily while driving to overtake Norris on Lap 39, ruining his chances of finishing on the podium.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel - 8

The ‘king of Singapore’ deserved more on his final outing at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The five-time Singapore GP winner was running well but lost out to Ricciardo and teamma🌄te Stroll through the Safety Car phase. He then couldn’t resist Verstappen on the final lap.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - 3

Another driver to have a shocking race was Hamilton. After spending over half of the race stuck behind Sainz, it all went wrong when he locked up and hit the barriers at Turn 7 on Lap 33. This resulted in ♋front wing damage and completely ruined his race. He was on to finish ei🔴ghth behind Vettel but made another mistake in the closing laps, allowing Verstappen to get past.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly - 7

Pierre Gasly enjoyed a solid weekend overall in Singapore. Q3 followed by a solid top 10 finish. It’s clear that AlphaTauri aren’t as com🎃petitive as they were in the last two years so it was an important result in their fight with Aston Martin and Haas in the constructors’ standings.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - 6

Valtteri Bottas’ wet weather struggles continued in qualifying as he was knocked out in Q1. On race day, he benefited from the retirements and mayhem to move up the order, ultimately finishing 11th as he struggled for pace on the softs as his tyres💦 degraded.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen - 6

Kevin Magnussen starred in qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix, making only his second-ever Q3 appearance at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Howev♎er, not for the first time this year, Magnussen picked up damaꦓge on the opening lap, ruining his chances of scoring points.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher - 5

Mick Schumacher struggled to ma🔯tch teammate Magnussen’s impressive qualifying showing. The German made good progress on race day but it was undone after a collision with Russell into Turn 1. Schumacher was blameless but it did ruin his afternoon.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 2

A disastrous weekend from Russell in Singapore. It all started in qualifying 🐈when he was knocked out in Q2, altho💞ugh a torque issue compromised his chances. Mercedes then decided to give him a new power unit, dropping him to the back of the grid. He then took to the escape road while trying to overtake Bottas, while a clumsy clash with Schumacher resulted in a puncture. An awful day for Russell.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda - 3

Points were on the cards for Yuki Tsunoda in Singapore had it not been for his shunt on Lap 36 on Lap 10. An easy mistake given the condiಌtions but a costly one given AlphaTauri’s tight fight with Haas and Aston Martin.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon - 6

Esteban Ocon blamed a brake-related issue for his surprise Q1 exit in Singapore. Regardless, his Sunday was cut short by an engine issue after a puff of smoke exited the baꦅck of his Alpine on Lap 28.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - 8

Fernando Alonso believes he’s lost around 60 points through poor reliability and misfortune this year. He’s not far off as anothe🌳r technical issue cost him a top-six finish at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi - 2

Another abysmal weekend for Nicholas Latifi, wไho was consistently off the pace of teammate Albon. His race ended after colliding with the Alfa Romeo of Zhou Guanyu early on. He clearly didn’t use his mirrors and caused🎀 an unavoidable incident. 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu - 6

Aftꦍer out-qualifying teammate Bottas for the sixth time this year, Zhou’s race ended prematurely after contact with Latifi on Lap 8. He was completely faultless in terms of the incident.
