The 2014 Singapore Grand Prix (formally known as the 2014 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix)[1] was a Formula One motor race held on 21 September 2014 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore.[3] The race was the fourteenth round of the 2014 season. It was also the fifteenth running of the Singapore Grand Prix, and the seventh time the race had been run as a round of the Formula One World Championship. The race was won by Lewis Hamilton who started from pole.
Report[]
Background[]
As in the 2012 Singapore Grand Prix, tyre supplier Pirelli brought its yellow-banded soft compound tyre as the harder "prime" tyre and the red-banded supersoft compound tyre as the softer "option" tyre, as opposed to the previous year where medium and super-soft selection were provided.[4] The drag reduction system (DRS) had two activation zones for the race; one was from turns 5 and 7, and the second was on the start/finish straight from the final to first corners.[5]
Going into the race, Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg led the Drivers' Championship with 238 points, ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton with 216 points and Daniel Ricciardo with 166. Valtteri Bottas was fourth with 122 points while Fernando Alonso was fifth with 121 points.[5] In the Constructors' Championship, Mercedes were leading with 454 points and Red Bull were second with 272 points. Williams with 177 points and Ferrari with 162 points contended for third place, with McLaren fifth with 110 points.[5] Mercedes had so far dominated the championship, winning eleven out of the fourteen previous races, with Hamilton winning the Italian. Kevin Magnussen, Bottas and Alonso had each gained second place finishes, and Vettel, Jenson Button, Sergio Pérez and Felipe Massa had achieved third place podium finishes.[5]
In the weeks before the race, the FIA announced plans to introduce a ban on certain pit-to-car communications, with a particular emphasis on banning driver "coaching"—such as describing a driver's sector times relative to another competitor—under Article 20.1 of the sporting regulations, which state that a driver must drive the car "alone and unaided".[6]
Qualifying[]
The qualifying began at 21:00 local time (UTC+8). Hamilton took his sixth pole position of the season, and his third overall at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, with a time of 1:45.681.[7]
Race[]
The race started at 20:00 local time (UTC+8). The conditions on the grid were dry before the race. Rosberg's car stalled at the start of the formation lap due to some problems with its electronics that forced him to start from the pit lane, He ultimately retired after thirteen laps.[8] Kobayashi's Caterham failed during the formation lap and he was therefore unable to start the race.
