Only three drivers, all world champions, have won at the Marina Bay circuit. Alonso (2008, 2010), Vettel (2011, 2012, 2013), Hamilton (2009, 2014). The race has been won from pole position on five occasions. The lowest winning grid position was Alonso, who came from 15th place in a now-notorious 2008 race that saw his Brazilian team mate Nelson Piquet crash deliberately on team orders. There has been at least one safety car intervention in every race in Singapore so far. The race is the longest on the calendar in terms of time taken to complete, ranging from between one hour and 56 minutes to the time limit of two hours. - - MILESTONE This month's Italian Grand Prix was Hamilton's 50th for Mercedes.
