When both Charles Leclerc- although not the happiest man at the Marina Bay- and Sebastian Vettel finished on the podium places at the Singapore Grand Prix, the sport experienced a revival of fortunes for the Scuderia outfit.

Remember, Scuderia's last 1-2 finish came at the behest of Vettel(P1) and Raikkonen's (P2) sensational effort at the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix. But from that point on, scoring two immaculate podiums in the same race has been an uphill task for the most famous marquee in the sport.

In that regard, that Leclerc (pole) and Vettel (P3) begin strongly at Sochi will lift the spirits of the famous team and its backers to evidence another strong result. But for that to happen, Vettel will have to find a way to breach the strong defenses of clearly the most capable and dangerous man on the grid, one that has been denied a win on four back-to-back occasions since the resumption of the season: Lewis Hamilton.

Guess what, Vettel will find a way to outpace the Briton and will help Ferrari score yet another 1-2, this time at Russia.
