2017 Singapore Grand Prix

Jolyon Palmer has admitted that scoring his first points of the Formula 1 season in Singapore last weekend felt like "a weight off the shoulders", but is determined to carry this good form through the final six rounds of the year.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff is still not ready to give a "straight commitment" and back Lewis Hamilton over Valtteri Bottas in the drivers' championship for fear of the effect it could have on the latter's form.

The FIA stewards will take no further action against Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen or Kimi Raikkonen over the start-line crash in Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix, saying no driver could be deemed wholly responsible.

Sebastian Vettel was left downbeat after a clash with Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen caused him to retire from the Singapore Grand Prix on the opening lap, hurting his championship hopes.

Lewis Hamilton says he knew he would win the Singapore Grand Prix the moment it started to rain before the race, but admitted he was fortunate to capitalise on a crash involving Formula 1 title rival Sebastian Vettel.

Valtteri Bottas joked that Mercedes' double podium in Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix was "very good damage limitation" as favourite Ferrari saw both its cars retire on the opening lap of the race.

Lewis Hamilton extended his points lead in the Formula 1 drivers' championship to 28 points after winning a dramatic Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday as title rival Sebastian Vettel crashed out early.

Jolyon Palmer says he is in "no rush" to define his racing plans for the 2018 season after losing his Formula 1 drive with Renault earlier this week.

Sebastian Vettel says he is "not bothered" by Formula 1 title rival Lewis Hamilton's starting position in Singapore, instead focusing on the Red Bull duo of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo who will start directly behind him on the grid.

Lewis Hamilton was left surprised by Ferrari's pace during Formula 1 qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix after seeing title rival Sebastian Vettel storm to his second pole position of the year.

McLaren executive director Zak Brown is confident keeping Fernando Alonso with its Formula 1 project for 2018, but has a 'plan B' in place should the Spaniard reject a new deal.

McLaren executive director Zak Brown has stressed that the Formula 1 engine deal struck with Renault from 2018 is not a short-term fix for the British team after three tough years with Honda.

Lewis Hamilton is unsure if Mercedes will be able to outpace Red Bull during Formula 1 qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix on Saturday, having struggled to match Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen's times through Friday's practice sessions.

Jolyon Palmer has revealed that he first learned Renault would be dropping him for the 2017 Formula 1 season when he read about it in an article online.

The Singapore Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar through to 2021 following the announcement of a new contract on Friday.

Daniel Ricciardo is hopeful of mounting a bid for his second Formula 1 victory of the season in this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix thanks to Red Bull's rapid development progress throughout 2017.

Felipe Massa wants Williams to show that it wants to keep him as part of its Formula 1 line-up for the 2018 season if he is to extend his unexpected reprieve with the team into a second year.

Max Verstappen is confident that Red Bull can "be a threat" to Formula 1 front-runners Ferrari and Mercedes through this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix after being encouraged by the team's progress since the last street race in Monaco.

Fernando Alonso wants to give McLaren the chance to firm up its Formula 1 engine plans before making any decision about his own future, wishing to show loyalty to the team after three difficult years.

Sergio Perez says he is close to finalising his Formula 1 plans for the 2018 season, having narrowed down to two options in recent weeks.

McLaren Formula 1 racing director Eric Boullier is unsure whether or not Stoffel Vandoorne will have to take a grid penalty for next weekend's Singapore Grand Prix following his retirement at Monza last Sunday.
