POINTS

Hamilton is three points clear of Vettel, who is not leading the championship for the first time this season.

The only regular drivers yet to score are Renault's Jolyon Palmer and Sauber's Marcus Ericsson.

Vettel and Hamilton both have 18 scoring finishes in a row.

SINGAPORE

Sunday's race is the 10th in Singapore, the first night-time grand prix upon its introduction in 2008.

Only four drivers have won at the Marina Bay circuit. Fernando Alonso (2008, 2010), Vettel (2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015), Hamilton (2009, 2014), Rosberg (2016). Every one was already, or went on to become, a world champion.

Red Bull have won the race three times, Ferrari and Mercedes twice each.

Red Bull's Ricciardo has set the fastest lap for the past two years, finishing second on both occasions.

Hamilton and Vettel have both been on pole three times in Singapore. The race has been won from pole position on seven occasions.

The lowest winning grid position was Alonso, who came from 15th place in a now-notorious 2008 race where his Brazilian team mate Nelson Piquet crashed his Renault deliberately on team orders.

There has been at least one safety car intervention in every race in Singapore so far. Last year it was deployed on the opening lap.

The race is the longest on the calendar in terms of time taken to complete. Last year's lasted one hour and 55 minutes.

The winner in Singapore has been champion at the end of the season in five of the last six years.

Vettel has led 221 laps in Singapore to Hamilton's 135. The German has been on the podium six times to the Briton's four.

MILESTONE

Nico Hulkenberg needs an unlikely top three finish to avoid an unwanted record, that of most starts without ever standing on the podium. The Renault driver is currently tied on 128 with Germany's now-departed Adrian Sutil. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Christian Radnedge)
