Count Fisco: So Vettel has finished either first or second in the last six Singapore Grands Prix, doubt he'll continue that today though...
Robert Johns: I think it's going to be another win for Rosberg.

Rainy season in Singapore doesn't kick in until November and there is currently no threat of rain for the race.
A downpour isn't completely unusual at this time of the year. In fact, there was some rain during the day in Singapore, which will have washed the circuit clean.
