Singapore: Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel will be hoping to steal the limelight from Mercedes and race to his first win of the season this weekend, as Formula One heads to Singapore for the only night race on the calendar.

The reigning world champion has endured a trying season and has failed to stand on the top step of the podium so far this year, a far cry from the dominant form that saw him race to a record-equaling 13 victories on his way to a fourth-straight title last year.
