The Singapore Grand Prix has just finished and boy was that a nail-biter. Nico Rosberg held his own ahead of a fast charging Daniel Ricciardo to cross the chequered flag a mere four tenth of a second earlier. A couple of laps more and the result would have been different. But kudos to Rosberg who didn’t put a wheel wrong in what was the tensest laps of the Singapore Grand Prix.
