Singapore Grand Prix 2016 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Nico Rosberg extended his winning streak to five consecutive races with victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, defeating Daniel Ricciardo and Lewis Hamilton under Marina Bay's lights. Rosberg dominated from pole position through Singapore's demanding street circuit, controlling the race with precision to extend his championship lead to 26 points. Hamilton could only manage third after a difficult race where he lacked the pace to challenge Rosberg.

The race showcased Rosberg's complete mastery of Singapore's unique challenges, managing tire degradation and the physical demands of the humid night race perfectly. Ricciardo's excellent second place for Red Bull demonstrated their competitiveness on street circuits, setting the fastest lap. Hamilton's third place was a damage-limitation exercise as Rosberg's championship march continued unabated.

Rosberg's Singapore triumph was his fifth consecutive victory and ninth of the season, establishing the longest winning streak of his career. The victory put him in commanding position for the championship with six races remaining, needing only consistency to claim his first world title. For Hamilton, the championship was slipping away unless he could halt Rosberg's incredible run of form.
