Red Bull-Renault RB9
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/medium/super-soft)
Rating: 10

Utterly, crushingly dominant. This was about more than just the car, strong as the Red Bull was. Vettel was supremely confident in running the barriers close when he needed to, qualified on pole - just - thanks to his Q3 banker lap and in the race dealt with 'crisis' points stunningly. The way he calmly reclaimed the lead from Rosberg at the first corner and then dropped the field and later blitzed everyone at the restart demonstrated a mastery of mind and machinery.

It almost seems unfair to judge Webber's performance using Vettel's as the bar. While he drove well enough and should have been rewarded with fourth, or perhaps even third, he simply wasn't on the same level as his team-mate. You could argue his was the performance of a man working out his notice, but he did a decent enough job to climb the order in the second half of the race. Workmanlike, but made to look poor in comparison to Vettel.

Ferrari F138
Start: 7th
Finish: 2nd

Rating: 9

Alonso wasn't quite as quick as Massa in qualifying, costing him a perfect 10, but as usual drove wonderfully in the race. His launch was good, but his sweep around the outside line at Turn 1 yielded a further two positions and catapulted him into a podium position. That fine piece of driving made all the difference, putting him in the position, through good strategy and a superb final stint on mediums, to beat stronger machinery to second place.

Massa came to Singapore bullish about his desire to prove his worth to potential employers for 2014. His Q3 performance was excellent, pulling a strong lap out of the bag to shade Alonso by half a tenth, bucking the overall trend of the weekend. The start defined his race: after a good launch, he got boxed in on the inside at the first corner. Recovered well to pick his way through to sixth in a traffic-compromised race.

McLaren-Mercedes MP4-28
Start: 8th
Finish: 7th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/super-soft/medium)
Rating: 8

On paper, slipping from third place with eight laps to go down to seventh at the finish is disastrous, but given the tyre gamble he and McLaren had embarked on it represented a very respectable return. Qualified better than Perez, although on race pace there was nothing to choose between the pair. As ever, was classy in battle and made no mistakes, keeping Raikkonen behind longer than he should have. Apart from qualifying, overall performance was similar to his team-mate's.

When asked about his season so far, Perez admitted he needed to avoid the small mistakes that hold him back. In Singapore, it was a minor set-up blunder on Saturday that he believes cost him a place in Q3. When you look at his race pace, it was as good as identical to Button's, as reflected in the fact that he followed him home. In fact, the only real difference between their races was that Button started five places up the grid.

It's difficult to know how to judge Raikkonen's performance pre-race. Certainly, the back problem triggered by a combination of the bumps and being positioned awkwardly in the cockpit on Friday led to an aggravation of an old injury that hindered him. Came very close to not qualifying, which gives him a free pass for his disappointing pace. But his race performance was immaculate and netted him a podium from an unpromising grid position that most drivers would have struggled to pull off.

Grosjean would likely have been third but for the loss of compressed air, used to drive the pneumatic valves in the engine, which ultimately put him out of the race. But what really impressed was just how even his performance was: fast, consistent and unruffled, even when boxed in at the start, this was one of Grosjean's most convincing weekends in F1. No wonder he uttered an exasperated 'no' over the radio when informed of his fate.

Mercedes F1 W04
Start: 2nd
Finish: 4th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/medium/medium)
Rating: 8

After a few subdued weekends, Rosberg was back on form in Singapore. His qualifying lap, particularly the final sector, was brilliant as he capitalised on a rapidly improving track to give Vettel a real scare. His start was good and he briefly took the lead, only to run too deep at the first corner and lose it again. Without the safety car and the decision to stay out, he would have finished higher, but recovered well on fresh rubber after his final stop.

He admitted his disappointing qualifying performance was what laid the foundations for a difficult race, although ultimately the fact that he ended up following home team-mate Rosberg showed his race pace was plenty good enough. Where he seemed to fall down in qualifying was not reacting as well as Rosberg to the rapidly evolving track in Q3, leaving him three tenths slower. Needed to do a better job on Saturday for a higher mark.

Sauber-Ferrari C32
Start: 11th
Finish: 9th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/super-soft/medium)
Rating: 8

While being outqualified by his team-mate after the heroics of Monza seemed to bring Hulkenberg down to earth with a bump, there's a good chance it wouldn't have happened had a DRS glitch not ruined his key lap in Q2. Drove a very strong race and with some cause felt he'd been forced to exceed the track limits by Perez, leading to him giving up the position. That probably cost him one place, but all in all an effective weekend's work.

Was not as eye-catching in practice as in Belgium and Italy, but showed he's learning how to pace his weekend with a wonderful lap to end Q2 seventh fastest. While outqualifying Hulkenberg owed a little to the German's DRS problem, it was still a fine achievement. Tyre degradation cost him a decent shot at points, but he handled himself well and wasn't overawed. Continuing to evolve into a handy performer after a very troubled start.

Force India-Mercedes VJM06
Start: 17th
Finish: 20th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/super-soft/medium)
Rating: 5

A difficult weekend for di Resta. On the downside, his qualifying performance could have been better as he was knocked out in Q1, slower than team-mate Sutil, while the way he exited the race with what appeared to be a driver error (despite no obvious mistake in the telemetry) was needless. On the plus side, a good first lap and superb marathon first stint on super-softs set him up for a possible sixth place without the crash.

Start: 15th
Finish: 10th
Strategy: 3 stops (medium/super-soft/super-soft/super-soft)
Rating: 7

Against the backdrop of the fading competitiveness of the Force India, Sutil beat di Resta by 0.370s in the intra-team scrap in Q1. Starting on mediums gave him some short-term pain, although it ensured he could run through his super-soft rubber in the final three stints. Arguably could have made a little more of the pace advantage he had at times - seventh place wasn't far away - but overall he was a good, consistent performer throughout the weekend.

Williams-Renault FW35
Start: 18th
Finish: 11th
Strategy: 3 stops (super-soft/super-soft/medium/super-soft)
Rating: 8

Should have been in Q2, but made a mess of the first segment of qualifying and fell almost three tenths short of his morning practice time. This meant he was over six tenths slower than rookie team-mate Bottas. Made amends in the race, making a good start and turning a decent pace in a tricky car. Came within four seconds of a point, which is probably about as close to that result as a Williams should be right now. A mixed performance.

Having never so much as turned a wheel on the Marina Bay circuit - in the real world at least - Bottas looked very accomplished throughout the Singapore weekend. He managed to outqualify his team-mate - no mean feat considering Maldonado was on the front row in Singapore last year. Things then took a turn for the worse in terms of equipment, if not driving. A clutch problem cost him at the start, and debris compromised his aero, explaining the gap to Maldonado.

Toro Rosso-Ferrari STR8
Start: 12th
Finish: 14th
Strategy: 3 stops (super-soft/medium/medium/super-soft)
Rating: 6

The Frenchman always looked to be giving away a couple of tenths to Ricciardo in qualifying, ending up 0.181s behind him in Q2. In the race, proved unable to make anything happen, although he did manage to leapfrog his team-mate by stopping earlier. Difficult to draw too many conclusions from his race. A bad start, a compromised strategy and endless traffic shrouded what pace there was, although the Toro Rosso didn't look particularly strong in race trim.

Rating: 4

To his credit, the Australian made no attempt to make excuses for crashing out of the race in rather meek style, which was, in fairness, a rare blunder. It was a mixed weekend all round. He made Q3, but his sector times suggested he left a little time on the table (0.161s) and a poor start cost him five places and condemned him to a frustrating afternoon. Disappointing execution and the crash mean he's marked down, although strong underlying pace was a saving grace.

Caterham-Renault CT03
Start: 19th
Finish: 19th
Strategy: 3 stops (super-soft/medium/medium/super-soft)
Rating: 6

Both Caterham drivers struggled for grip at either end of the car at different times, but while Pic looked to be struggling more than his team-mate in qualifying, he ended up a quarter of a second clear of van der Garde. Didn't have the greatest of starts and was stuck behind Bianchi, but got back ahead through the first stops. Was quick enough in the race, but aborted his two-stopper, which dropped him to an unrepresentative last place.

Looked to have the legs on Pic in qualifying, but a mistake at Turn 19 in the tail-happy Caterham led to him glancing the wall. Survived to finish the lap, but reckoned this mistake cost him around four tenths, more than enough to have been the lead Caterham. Did an excellent job to lead Bottas throughout the first stint after a good first lap and comfortably won the 'battle-for-10th' class, which is all you can ask for given the machinery.

Marussia-Cosworth MR-02
Start: 21st
Finish: 18th

Rating: 7

A weekend of doing a good job in occasional adversity, but to Bianchi's credit he stuck to his task and managed to outqualify Chilton again even though he couldn't improve during his second run. The race was a bit of a battle too, with a gearshift problem costing him time early on. It was later cured, but he struggled with tyre degradation while chasing Chilton and ended up having to keep his distance. Gets extra credit for holding off a charging Pic late on.

Did a decent enough job in qualifying, ending up just one tenth off Bianchi. That said, given that last year's GP2 feature-race winner had a track knowledge advantage over his team-mate, perhaps it should have been better. Performed well in the race, capitalising on Bianchi's gearshift glitch to get ahead and was then able to keep his team-mate at bay in the second half. A very tidy weekend's work.
