Top 5 Lewis Hamilton wins at Mercedes

#3 Singapore Grand Prix 2017

The moment Vettel gave away the championship in 2017

Hamilton's important win would guide him to a 4th world championship

The 2017 Singapore Grand Prix was one of the biggest wins in Lewis Hamilton's F1 career to date.

Before the race had even begun, Sebastian Vettel was only three points behind as the championship looked to be decided in the curtain closer in Abu Dhabi.

But those predictions went upside down when the 2017 championship moved to Singapore at the Marina Bay Circuit - a street race that both Hamilton and Vettel had won multiple times in the past.

Qualifying saw Vettel take pole position while Hamilton was only 5th fastest making Sunday's race day a big task for the Mercedes man.

Just minutes before lights out, rain had struck which is a rare sight in the history of the Singapore Grand Prix.

Despite the conditions, it was still thumbs up from Charlie Whiting and co.

Hamilton's wish came true as Vettel collided with team-mate Kimi Raikkonen at the starting line along with Max Verstappen.

Vettel retired on the opening lap while Hamilton took the advantage to jump up four places and lead the race and go onto win in Singapore.

The win placed Hamilton 28 points ahead of Vettel and would stay at the top of the championship to win a fourth driver's title.
