While a great day for Ferrari, Leclerc was not pleased with the team\u2019s strategy in the pits. Speaking to the media after the race, Vettel said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Obviously the start of the season has been difficult for us but in recent weeks we started to come alive. It&#8217;s been incredible to get so much support from the fans and I tried to put it all into the track today and into the car and I&#8217;m glad it paid off.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Max Verstappen finished third while point\u2019s leader Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and Valtteri Bottas was fifth. There are six races left in the season and Hamilton, who has a 65 point lead in the driver\u2019s championship, has struggled against the Ferrari\u2019s in the last several races. With the race winner getting 25 points, the championship is far from decided.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">All the emotion of that 392 day wait between wins, unleashed \ud83e\udd7a<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SingaporeGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SingaporeGP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HnZ0MCW1t1\">pic.twitter.com\/HnZ0MCW1t1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Formula 1 (@F1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1175843957521014785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ferrari wasn\u2019t favoured to win at Singapore with both Vettel and Leclerc showing unfavourable odds as reported in Betting.ca\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/betting-opportunities\/formula-one-singapore-grand-prix-2019-preview\">Singapore Grand Prix 2019 Betting Preview &amp; Latest Odds<\/a>.

After he rejoined the race Vettel, who had pitted earlier on the 20th lap was in the lead, and Leclerc\u2019s displeasure with that was overheard on the team radio. Commenting on the teams&#8217; pit strategy, Vettel stated that it was not his decision adding,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was a very late call. I thought it was a bit early because I wasn&#8217;t sure we can make the tires last in the second stint but, yeah, then I just gave it everything in the outlap because I saw the two cars in front of me not pitting, especially Lewis.
