It was the 14th round of the 2014 Formula One World Championship and the seventh Singapore Grand Prix held as part of the series. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the 60-lap race from pole position. The Red Bull pairing of Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo were second and third. It was Hamilton's seventh victory of the season and the 29th of his career. Nico Rosberg led the World Drivers' Championship while his team Mercedes led the World Constructors' Championship heading into the event. Hamilton won the pole position by posting the fastest lap time in qualifying and maintained the lead into the first corner. Rosberg, his teammate, had a wiring loom steering problem and began from the pit lane. Hamilton remained in the lead after the first round of pit stops before ceding it to Ricciardo for one lap in the second pit stop phase. In the final laps, Hamilton made his final pit stop to switch tyres and rejoined just ahead of Ricciardo. Vettel led for one lap until Hamilton passed him on lap 54 to win. There were four lead changes among three different drivers during the course of the race. The result returned Hamilton to the lead of the World Drivers' Championship with 241 championship points, three ahead of teammate Rosberg who retired after 14 laps after his problem could not be rectified. Ricciardo maintained third place, with Fernando Alonso and Vettel passing the non-scoring Valtteri Bottas to move into fourth and fifth. Mercedes further extended their lead in the Constructors' Championship to 182 championship points over Red Bull in second. Williams and Ferrari maintained third and fourth and Force India overtook McLaren for fifth with five races left in the season.

DRS was enabled on the third lap as the field spread out. The stewards investigated Magnussen for violating track limits. McLaren teammates Magnussen and Button avoided a collision on lap four and the Williams duo passed them. Vettel kept Hamilton's lead constant, causing the latter to go faster by a second while conserving fuel. thumb|Nico Rosberg started from the pit lane because of a steering wiring loom fault and retired after 13 laps. Rosberg overtook Chilton to move into 20th on lap five, while Kvyat was told by radio to battle Magnussen after lapping 0.3 seconds faster than Magnussen in the first sector on the next lap. Rosberg could not pass Ericsson and was more than 40 seconds behind Hamilton by that lap. It was announced on lap seven that there would be no further action against Magnussen. Magnussen, Kvyat and Vergne were within one second of each other and battled for ninth place. Vergne encouraged his teammate Kvyat to cede a position to him but Kvyat insisted he could pass Magnussen. Vergne overtook teammate Kvyat for tenth on lap eight and began gaining on Magnussen. Rosberg was limited to two gears and was five seconds slower than teammate Hamilton. Hamilton led by five seconds by the start of lap ten despite car balance problems over a single lap. Massa ran close behind Räikkönen until his first pit stop at the end of the lap as part of the Williams' team plan to pass the latter through strategy. Räikkönen made his stop on the following lap and emerged behind Massa. Bottas entered the pit lane on lap 11 with Vettel, Alonso and Ricciardo stopping on the next lap. After Kvyat made his stop, he rejoined behind Rosberg but overtook him shortly after. Hamilton made his pit stop from the lead on lap 14, and retained it, narrowly in front of Button. Rosberg was informed by radio that he could not go past 6,500 revolutions per minute in first gear because of a faulty pit lane limiter. He slowly entered the pit lane on lap 14 and purposely stalled his car as his tyres and steering wheel were changed. Mechanics switched Rosberg's car off and he selected multiple buttons on his steering wheel to try and change gear. After almost two minutes, Rosberg's car was pushed into his garage to be retired. Massa overtook Pérez for sixth place on the 15th lap. Vergne incurred a five-second stop-and-go penalty on the following lap after he was deemed to have exceeded track limits. On lap 19 Gutiérrez retired in his garage with an engine electrical problem. Two laps later, Chilton made an unscheduled pit stop after a wheel value punctured his front-right tyre.http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/sport/other-sport/motorsport/max-chilton-says-bad-luck-7810572 Max Chilton says 'bad luck' upset Singapore Grand Prix strategy De-Keyzer Amy 22 September 2014 Surrey Advertiser 23 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20160813043916/http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/sport/other-sport/motorsport/max-chilton-says-bad-luck-7810572 13 August 2016 live left|thumb|Adrian Sutil prompted the safety car's deployment after colliding with Sergio Pérez. On lap 23, Räikkönen drew closer to Massa and the Williams team responded by bringing the latter into the pit lane for soft compound tyres for a potential strategic overtake. He rejoined in ninth behind teammate Bottas. Hamilton pulled away from Vettel who was caught by Alonso. By the 24th lap, Alonso had the potential to pass Vettel after the pit stops. That lap, Ferrari brought Alonso into the pit lane for super soft compound tyres. Vettel made his pit stop on lap 25 for soft compound tyres and emerged in third behind Alonso's faster Ferrari. Massa overtook Hülkenberg on the main straight for eighth on the same lap. Hamilton made his stop for super soft compound tyres on the following lap, giving the lead to Ricciardo; his team used a large time gap to remove rubber debris on his front wing. Ricciardo took his pit stop on lap 27 returning the lead to Hamilton. Grosjean was close behind Pérez but he could not pass him. Pérez attempted an overtake Sutil on the straight on the 30th lap, and Sutil squeezed Pérez into a wall, clipping the left-front nose cone section. It slid under Pérez's wheel, littering the track with debris, and prompting the safety car's deployment, to allow marshals to remove debris from the track. Some drivers elected to make pit stops to switch onto the soft compound tyres; Ferrari brought their drivers in to enable them to reach the end of the race without the need for another pit stop. Hamilton's race engineer Peter Bonnington cautioned him about the debris but Hamilton did not receive the warning in time and drove over shards of wing. He inquired about tyre pressures and was told no issues had been discovered. Sutil incurred a five-second stop-and-go penalty for the collision with Pérez. The safety car was withdrawn at the end of the 37th lap and racing resumed with Hamilton in first. Hamilton set the race's fastest lap of 1:50.417 on lap 39 to lead Vettel by 5.8 seconds. Sutil's car developed a water leak and retired two laps later to prevent the risk of an engine failure.https://www.sauberf1team.com/news/singapore-airlines-grand-prix-%C2%96-race-%C2%96-sunday-5 Singapore Airlines Grand Prix – Race – Sunday 21 September 2014 Sauber F1 Team https://web.archive.org/web/20170905192850/https://www.sauberf1team.com/news/singapore-airlines-grand-prix-%c2%96-race-%c2%96-sunday-5 5 September 2017 dead 23 June 2017 thumb|Valtteri Bottas fell to eleventh when his tyres lost grip in the race's closing period. Hamilton led Vettel by 24 seconds by the next lap and wanted to make a pit stop because he was worried about tyre wear but was advised to further grow his advantage over the next three laps. Hamilton made his final pit stop for the soft compound tyres on lap 52. He rejoined in second behind Vettel and narrowly ahead of Ricciardo. Hamilton quickly caught Vettel, used DRS leaving turn five, and turned right to reclaim the lead two corners later on lap 54.

Maldonado's aspiration for his first championship point of 2014 was not realised when Magnussen passed him for tenth place on lap 56. Three laps later, Vergne passed Hülkenberg for eighth place. Vergne overtook Räikkönen for seventh on the inside into the first corner and then Bottas for sixth. Pérez had better traction than teammate Hülkenberg and passed him between turns 17 and 18. Pérez passed Räikkönen into turn 10 and took seventh when Bottas lost all tyre grip and fell from the top ten quickly. Because of the safety car period, the race ended under a two-hour time limit.

Vettel said his team altered their strategy before the safety car and the final laps on worn tyres were "very, very much borderline" and emphasised the challenge of the track in hot and humid weather. Ricciardo said the event felt like a "home race" and that he would watch Alonso's first lap to see whether he should have ceded another position to Vettel.http://www.crash.net/f1/feature/208932/1/singapore-grand-prix-postrace-press-conference.html#pxPhZpRvYXrQXYxU.99 F1 Singapore Grand Prix: Post-race press conference 21 September 2014 Crash https://web.archive.org/web/20151227004759/http://www.crash.net/f1/feature/208932/1/singapore-grand-prix-postrace-press-conference.html 27 December 2015 live 24 June 2017 In the later press conference, Hamilton felt the race would have been "hardcore" had Rosberg not retired and knew Mercedes would not be "100 percent happy" because they aspired to secure victories collectively and be the series' most dominant team. Vettel revealed how uncomfortable he felt that he could not reach the end of the race on worn tyres but stated second was the best possible result for Red Bull. Ricciardo was satisfied to pressure his teammate Vettel but felt it was a processional event for the top three. Rosberg called his race "the toughest of the year" and deemed it worse than the 2014 British where he retired with a gearbox failure. He stated that his car's reliability needed the most attention and wanted to understand the problem: "It’s tough not even leaving the grid. I was hoping the team could fix it [after the race had started] because it was going on and off, sometimes working, sometimes not. There's no point in shouting, it's a reliability issue, and it's happened again."https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/11112259/Singapore-Grand-Prix-2014-Fortune-favours-Lewis-Hamilton-as-Nico-Rosbergs-Mercedes-lets-him-down.html Singapore Grand Prix 2014: Fortune favours Lewis Hamilton as Nico Rosberg's Mercedes lets him down Johnson Daniel 21 September 2014 The Sunday Telegraph 24 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20150703090148/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/11112259/Singapore-Grand-Prix-2014-Fortune-favours-Lewis-Hamilton-as-Nico-Rosbergs-Mercedes-lets-him-down.html 3 July 2015 live Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff apologised to Rosberg immediately following the driver's retirement, saying it was "a bitter moment" to lose ground in the Drivers' Championship.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/21/lewis-hamilton-wins-singapore-gp-f1-mercedes Lewis Hamilton wins F1 Singapore GP as Nico Rosberg fails to finish Weaver Paul 21 September 2014 The Guardian 24 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20160723131743/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/21/lewis-hamilton-wins-singapore-gp-f1-mercedes 23 July 2016 live He stated he did not want to see the championship decided on reliability and Mercedes needed to discover the origin of their problems.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/29304753 Singapore GP: Reliability must not decide title – Mercedes boss Benson Andrew 21 September 2014 BBC Sport https://web.archive.org/web/20151215143716/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/29304753 15 December 2015 live 24 June 2017 The team's technical director Paddy Lowe added reliability concerns worried him throughout the season and hoped it would not be repeated in the future. thumb|Kevin Magnussen suffered from back burns and dehydration after his drinks bottle became hot because of a broken radiator seal.
