SINGAPORE

Sunday's race is the 12th in Singapore, the first night-time grand prix upon its introduction in 2008.

Only two current drivers have won at the 23 corner circuit -- Hamilton (2009, 2014, 2017, 2018) and Vettel (2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015).

Mercedes have won the race four times, Red Bull three and Ferrari twice. Red Bull have finished second for the past five years.

No team has ever scored a one-two finish in Singapore.

Hamilton and Vettel have each been on pole four times in Singapore. The race has been won from pole position on eight occasions.

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

The race is the longest on the calendar in terms of time taken to complete and runs close to the two-hour limit.

The safety car has featured in all 11 editions of the race to date.

The winner in Singapore has been champion at the end of the season in seven of the last eight years.

Vettel has been on the podium seven times to Hamilton's six.
