Most of Youssef Shaheen's wins this season took real work. Singapore didn't. He put his car on pole by more than half a second, launched perfectly while the field scrambled behind him, and never looked back. He won by 16.111 seconds.
That's four wins from five starts, and his championship lead is now 27 points: 116 to Eden Azran's 89.
Amir Ehud started fourth and had serious pace all race. He fought Shaul Ezra for most of the night and came out on top in second. After third at Monza, that's two podiums from his last two starts, and Mercedes' best result of the season. He also set the race's fastest lap.
Kelly Aiche started fifth and finished third. He picked up the pieces, but this wasn't luck. He had the pace to match the front-runners and stayed close to the front the whole way. It's his second podium of the season after Zandvoort, and he is now just two points behind Ezra in the championship.
Ezra was on the podium until the final lap, when a slide cost him third. After the race, the stewards gave him a 3-second penalty for his contact with Eden Azran, which dropped him from fourth to fifth and promoted Azran to fourth. It ends a run of three podiums in his last three starts.
Azran started second, and that contact cost him places. He still came home fourth, back in the points after his Australia retirement, and stays second in the championship.
Behind Shaheen and Azran it's tight: Turjeman 80, Ezra 76, Aiche 74. Six points cover third to fifth. Ben Harosh is sixth on 58, and Radia seventh on 49. Amir Ehud already has 37 from just three starts.
McLaren lead the teams on 165. Williams and Aston Martin are four points apart, 104 to 100. Racing Bulls move past Red Bull, 81 to 76, and Mercedes jump to seventh on 44.
Next is the United States Grand Prix at COTA, on 24 October.
See you on the grid.
