Nico Rosberg won his third successive Grand Prix as he took the chequered flag in Singapore ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo with Lewis Hamilton in third.

In beating his Mercedes teammate into third, Rosberg regained the World Championship lead. Eights points now separate the pair with six races remaining in the season and Hamilton acknowledged that Marina Bay had not been a good experience. "It doesn't always go well and this has been a difficult weekend for me and my side of the garage," reflected the Briton. "But we will reunite and regather and understand what went wrong and try to rectify it for the next race."
