Ferrari had the worst possible result in Sunday evening's wet Singapore Grand Prix, and what made it even harder for the Italian team to take was the fact that Sebastian Vettel took a very dominating pole position on Saturday with Kimi Raikkonen on the second row.

These qualifying results clearly demonstrated the team's potential around the Marina Bay circuit but sadly, it all came to an end on the run down to the first corner, when Sebastian, on the right hand side of the track, was ahead of Max Verstappen, with Kimi coming alongside the Red Bull driver on his left.

“At the start I had a very good jump, then I got hit; that was the end of our race,” Kimi sad. “I don't think I could have really done anything differently to avoid it, apart from doing a bad start and not being there. It's a pity, one of those things you pay a big price for. Whatever the cause or the issue, it doesn't change the end result unfortunately. We go to the next races ready to fight and do our best.”

This led to a collision that left all three drivers out of the race and walking back to their various garages.

Later on the Race Stewards ruled that no one driver was to blame and therefore no one was penalised, but the end result saw for the first time this season, Ferrari leaving a race having failed to score any points.

Now, the team needs to react, making the most of every opportunity presented in the remaining six rounds of the 2017 Formula One Championship season. That fight back will begin in Malaysia in a fortnight's time.

“I had an average start and then I moved slightly to the left trying to defend my position from Max,” Sebastian explained. “Then I got bumped on one side as Kimi's car hit me. I'm not sure what happened. I span at turn 3, but that's because the car was damaged already. Today we were on the wrong side of the track, which doesn't help. But there is nothing we can do now and for sure it is bitter, and it's a pity we couldn't show our pace today; but we have other races ahead of us and I am sure there will be more opportunities for us.”
