There will be some interesting discussions between Leclerc and his team after this. He made clear over the team radio that he felt the race had been snatched away from him by the Ferrari strategy.

VETTEL WINS THE SINGAPORE GP! It's a 1/2 finish for the Ferraris. Verstappen completes the podium lineup by crossing the line in third with the two Silver Arrows behind him. Vettel is finally a winner again!
61/61
Last lap! Vettel is on course for his first race victory in 392 days! Leclerc will surely have plenty to say about the strategy from Ferrari, but in the end it has secured them a 1/2 finish. Dominant from the Scuderia.
60/61
Hamilton is having a real go at Verstappen. "I need more power," the Red Bull driver says on the team radio. He is worried and is struggling against the pace of the Mercedes.
59/61
It's been a bit of a nightmare season for Vettel. The four-time world champion has made a number of errors in recent races, but he has shown great composure here. This is much more like it from the German.
58/61
The strategy from Mercedes didn't really work. They kept out Hamilton for a few laps longer than the Ferrari and in the end that stuck the world champion behind Verstappen. He hasn't managed to get past the Red Bull.
57/61
Vettel is edging closer to his first race victory in over a year. Time is running out for Leclerc to make a move on his teammate. There's also the matter of the two-hour time limit!
56/61
There has been some movement in the midfield. Gasly is challenging Norris in seventh place, while Stroll has just passed Kvyat and Magnussen with some very nice driving. Up into P14.
55/61
54/61
The stewards are going to look at the incident between Raikkonen and Kvyat after the race. Leclerc has just set the fastest lap of the rap as he makes one last gasp attempt to catch Vettel.
53/61
Safety car in! We are racing again, but we're not right up against it to beat the two-hour time limit! We expected a duel to materialise at the front of the pack, but have three safety cars given Vettel the win?
52/61
PICTURE: Vettel is on course for a race victory!

51/61
Raikkonen out! Kvyat collided with the Alfa Romeo and Raikkonen is out of this race. It looks likely that we will have a THIRD safety car! Might this be enough to give Vettel the race victory?
50/61
Leclerc is 0.9 seconds behind Vettel. He needs DRS to come into the equation soon. The Mercedes have restarted strongly since the safety car came in. They are bunched up behind Verstappen.
49/61
One thing to note is that we are going to be nudging the two-hour time limit. Four of the 11 races that have taken place on this circuit have been timed out and it's a possibility here.
48/61
We're racing again! The pack has bunched up again after the safety car and Leclerc is right on the tail of his teammate Vettel. This is going to be an interestung duel between the two Ferraris.
48/61
"I want us to finish 1,2, but I just don't think it's fair." Leclerc is making it very clear that he doesn't agree with the strategy from Ferrari which saw Vettel leapfrog the young driver. He wants to have a go at his teammate.
47/61
46/61
This is not good news for Mercedes. The advantage they had over the Ferraris was in their tyres, but these safety cars are allowing Vettel and Leclerc to get to the end of the race.
