Jean-Éric Vergne qualified 12th for the 2014 Singapore Grand Prix, two places behind team-mate Daniil Kvyat. His seat in the Toro Rosso team was in danger, he had to post a good result.The Frenchman drove a solid race and brought his Toro Rosso home in a good 6th position.

Unfortunately for Vergne, it was not enough to convince Dr. Marko to keep him, and he lost his seat for 2015 to a 17 years old kid called… Max Verstappen.

I had travelled from Hong Kong (where I was for business) to Singapore to cover the race for F1i. I knew JEV quite well and I was one the first ones to congratulate him (and interview him), for his solid race, as soon as he got out of the car (picture above).

Privileged moments in the moist heat of Singapore.
