SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Sebastian Vettel’s hopes of vaulting back into the overall lead of the Formula One world championship were wrecked by a first corner collision on the opening lap of the rain-drenched Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday.

The German had started from pole position but retired seconds later with a badly damaged car in an incident that also claimed Ferrari team mate Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
