Almost time for the Singapore GP, F1s night race. This is the sixth race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and the first without the Singapore Sling chicane.

Some more slightly late post-race stats, sorry about that! Vettel won the Italian GP, putting him on 222 points for the season. In the 12 races so far Vettel has been on the podium in 9 of them, finishing a race no lower than fourth.

The Italian GP, back in 1950 Giuseppe Farina won the first ever World Drivers’ Championship here and is the only driver to win the title in his home country. Monza is the most used circuit in F1 history, it has been used every year since 1950 with the exception of 1980.

Spa is over and the Belgian GP was a bit dull. Vettel got into the lead on lap one and stayed there, winning by a full 15 seconds. Qualifying on Saturday was one of the best I can remember, rain in Q1 and Q3 made everything completely unpredictable.

The return of Ask the F1Statman! Twelve questions from eight people and a wide variety of questions, going from safety cars to snails at Spa.

Some of you might remember that in December I answered all stat questions thrown at me. There's not much going on in F1 recently so I'll do it again. Ask any question you like, either tweet me, email me, or comment below.

We’re halfway into the season now (pretty much), so it’s time for some graphs of everything I can think of. How teammates are doing head to head, drivers’ championship positions, constructors’ championship positions, everything.

I’ll be honest, the Canadian GP was incredibly boring. Bottas impressed in the wet qualifying session with 3rd, the first time Williams have been into Q3 this season. The race was won from pole by Sebastian Vettel by a 14 second gap, which could have been well over 20 seconds if he didn’t make a mistake towards the end of the race and if he wasn’t held up while lapping cars.

This is the 44th Canadian GP and the 34th at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 14 or 42.42% have been won from pole position, slightly higher than the average of 38.70% of the races on the 2013 calendar. The first championship race in Canada was held at Mosport Park in 1967 and won by Sir Jack Brabham.

As mentioned a few times on Twitter I am having internet problems which is why this wasn’t done yesterday. Anyway, the 60th F1 Monaco GP is over and Mercedes have finally converted a pole position into a win. Nico Rosberg achieved his third consecutive pole position, the last person to do so in a Mercedes was Juan Manuel Fangio in 1954 on the way to his second Drivers’ Championship.
