A broken drinks bag made it a very tough race for Daniil Kvyat, Kevin Magnussen played down the extent of his “burns” and Red Bull shielded their screens from the press.
Here’s Sunday at the Singapore Grand Prix in Tweets.

Just noticed Gutierrez has his spectacles on. Obviously doesn't drive with them on. Explains a lot. #F1

I must say I do not miss the the scream of the old V8 engines at all. I love the note of the new power-train. #f1

@rohitntu @f1fanatic_co_uk @nicktabram Been trackside for all the previous Singapore GP's and this year is underwhelming.

Good spot by @Travelf1 – blinds on the Red Bull 'prat perch', poss because media centre denizens can see the screens. pic.twitter.com/jMPicWjWfR

On Vergne's radio: "Phil Mitchell it's Phil Charles. We've got a leaky drinks bag on Dany's car. We're changing the whole assembly." #F1

.@nico_rosberg has nowt but his gear shift paddles to play with right now: steering wheel not fully functional. This has to be some drive…

Rosberg is at least attempting to adjust his steering wheel settings, even if they aren't working. #F1 #SingaporeGP pic.twitter.com/mw2OMGPNDN

The car refused to get out of neutral – plan had been to stall and restart, but it wasn't to be #F1 #SingaporeGP #RadioSinga

18 minutes behind the Safety Car for a bit of debris. And it'll take even longer next year with standing restarts. #F1 #SingaporeGP

An increasingly angry Kvyat is shouting "I need to stop, I need a drink, I'm dying here". Mustn't have got it fixed. #F1 #SingaporeGP

L54 Hamilton easily passes Vettel for the lead. #F1 #SingaporeGP

What just happened?! Never give up. Double points. Brilliant drive by @SChecoPerez making the most of a really difficult race.

That was a tough race! Surely the hardest earned point I've ever had. Fun weekend as well though. Now really looking forward to Suzuka!
— Kevin Magnussen (@KevinMagnussen) September 21, 2014
BTW some newspapers say I had burns and had medical treatment for it. That's a bit exaggerated, I was just hot and sweaty! :) #notdead
— Kevin Magnussen (@KevinMagnussen) September 21, 2014
What do you do after winning #SingaporeGP? Start talking about Suzuka of course! @LewisHamilton still on it… pic.twitter.com/bmdeSZbFJ8

Such a shame we didn't get a result today, felt like P6 was on the cards. Great job by the whole team in tough conditions, mega pitstops….
— Jenson Button (@JensonButton) September 21, 2014
The organisers here put on a real show for fans, so the 'experience' goes way beyond just the race.
— Marc Priestley (@f1elvis) September 21, 2014
Very important points for the team @clubforce wich put us in the best season in the history of team! And more coming, very proud of you guys
— Sergio Pérez (@SChecoPerez) September 21, 2014
No booing on the podium this time, either.
— Ben Hunt (@benjhunt) September 21, 2014
Tough race today trying to defend others with very worn tyres in the end, also prblm with the steering. Last lap collapse meant no points..
