Ferrari's woes, Mercedes dominates in Singapore... Top 5 memorable F1 moments

Singapore - Following Lewis Hamilton's victory at the 2017 Singapore GP, the Mercedes driver has a 28 point gap ahead of Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel.

Drama before the first corner

Singapore fans were treated to a dramatic race, one of that saw both Ferrari drivers unable to finish the race.

Vettel and team mate Kimi Räikkönen sandwiched Red Bull's Max Verstappen before the first turn of the race.

This led to Verstappen's 7th DNF of the season despite impressing during qualifying.

In consolation, Daniel Ricciardo salvaged points for Red Bull after managing a second place finish.

With that in mind, here are the top 5 moments of the Singapor GP:
