During qualifying in Singapore this weekend, the big surprise came from Max Verstappen’s eleventh place. As in Italy two weeks ago, Carlos Sainz took pole position, ahead of George Russell (Mercedes) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari). Lewis Hamilton will start from fifth position, and he regrets the heavy traffic at the start of Q1, while hoping that George Russell will manage to make a good move this Sunday.
In the race to win an eleventh consecutive Grand Prix, Red Bull Max Verstappen will be in difficulty during the Singapore Grand Prix. The Dutchman will start from eleventh position and will have to make a big comeback to try to achieve yet another feat this season. For his part, Lewis Hamilton will try to benefit from the good shape of his car, even if he was frustrated with his qualifying session.
“I was so slow today”
In comments reported by nextgen-auto.com, Lewis Hamilton explain that : ” Today we clearly had a very good package. The car handled incredibly well yesterday and there was so much hope that with a few adjustments we could challenge the Ferraris. One of the cars was capable of doing it and it wasn’t me today. We made some big changes overnight and it still eluded me. I was so slow today. »

“I tried to stay out of trouble but it was really messy”
« In Q1, the traffic was bad when everyone was launching and there were a lot of people, castigates the seven-time world champion. I tried to stay out of trouble but yeah, it was really messy at first, but I didn’t have any other way. It’s really disappointing, but tomorrow is a new day and I really hope George gets a good start tomorrow and puts some pressure on these Ferraris. It would be great for him to get a victory. »
