THE BIG PICTURE: A lot of silly season was answered since Italy. Which of course in F1 means silly season gets ramped up even more...

EVENT: If you measure sponsor parties and bigwig wining and dining, Singapore has now surpassed Monaco as the money and glamour event.

QUALIFYING: Vettel relies on just one flying lap, Rosberg couldn't quite snatch it, Ricciardo shines again, and Raikkonen suffers through back pain.

RACE: The end of the race behind the leaders saved us from the boredom of most of the race.

TRACK: Well, the Singapore Sling is gone...

START: A thrilling first lap, Rosberg's fantastic start turns out to be too fantastic, Alonso is like Usain Bolt, and Hamilton and Massa duke it out.

VETTEL: 6.2 second lead after four laps. Nine laps after the restart, he led by over 20 seconds. Sebastian is truly one of the fastest ever on a clear track in race conditions.

WEBBER: Why does Mark's car always have problems? Well, at least he added -- literally -- to the post-race fireworks show.

RED BULL: It really is true -- they give you wings.

ALONSO: It's a broken record -- got the most out of the inferior Ferrari, but continued to lose (the minimal amount of) ground.

MASSA: Lotus? Sauber? Indy cars? DTM? Brazilian stock cars? Big Wheels?

FERRARI: They got what they wanted for 2014. For better or worse.

RAIKKONEN: Once again Kimi pulls off an impossible move around the outside.

GROSJEAN: A great weekend spoiled.

LOTUS: If you don't pay your employees, they won't stick around. It's really simple.

ROSBERG: How in the world did Mercedes screw up Nico's race so badly. He had a guaranteed podium spot.

HAMILTON: Could have gotten his teammate, but this time Lewis held back.

MERCEDES: So far, the tire changes have been a detriment to the Silver Arrows, despite Red Bull's whining.

BUTTON: A fine race ... considering the car Jenson is saddled with.

PEREZ: Suddenly, McLaren is hinting Sergio's seat is not safe for next year?

MCLAREN: Build a winning car, and you can woo the top drivers.

RICCIARDO: Daniel's weekend started out great, ended lousy.

DI RESTA: Paul probably thinks "luck" starts with an "F".

STEWARDS: Out to lunch. Again. Totally, totally out to lunch.

WORD OF THE WEEKEND: Crushing.

STAT OF THE WEEKEND: 6 -- The number of years the Singapore GP has taken place and the number of years the Safety Car has been deployed.

HISTORICAL STAT OF THE WEEKEND: Before it's World Championship status when the Singapore GP was a Formula Libre race, there was a driver who won it three times in a row. Kiwi Graeme Lawrence won on the Thomson Road Circuit from 1969 to 1971 in three different cars -- McLaren-Ford, Ferrari, and Brabham-Ford, respectively.

QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND: Felipe Massa apparently looking to burn all red bridges, "What help can I give? I will do the best race I can and I want to finish my last seven races with Ferrari in the best way I can. To be honest, talking from my heart, I don't know if Fernando needs my help."

QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND RUNNERUP: And as for Ferrari's lineup next year, Massa certainly has an opinion about that, "It will certainly mean fireworks. I'm afraid they will collide when sharing the team."

SCHEDULE: Are we to see the last South Korean Grand Prix?
