Singapore Grand Prix 2013 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Sebastian Vettel dominated the Singapore Grand Prix from pole to flag, claiming his third consecutive victory and extending his winning streak to match his performance from 2011. The German driver was untouchable under the Marina Bay street circuit's lights, leading every lap to defeat Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. Vettel's supremacy was complete, as he also recorded the fastest lap in a demonstration of the RB9's versatility across all circuit types.

The race highlighted Red Bull's remarkable adaptability, as their high-downforce package that excelled at conventional circuits also dominated Singapore's unique street circuit characteristics. Alonso fought valiantly for Ferrari but could only manage second place, watching helplessly as Vettel pulled away at will. Raikkonen's third place for Lotus kept him mathematically in championship contention, though the reality of Red Bull's dominance made such calculations increasingly academic.

Vettel's Singapore triumph was particularly ominous for his rivals as it demonstrated Red Bull's superiority wasn't limited to specific track types. The combination of Vettel's flawless driving, Red Bull's technical excellence, and the team's strategic perfection created an unbeatable package. With the championship now firmly in Vettel's control, the remaining races would serve primarily to determine when, not if, he would secure his fourth consecutive world title.
