Hamilton Pins What Went Wrong in Q3, Stresses Leclerc Teamwork in Singapore GP

Lewis Hamilton outlined the changes made in Q3 during the F1 Singapore GP, emphasizing the importance of teamwork with Charles Leclerc in taking on Max Verstappen. The Brit performed admirably in Q1 and Q2, following a second-place finish in the Singapore GP sprint. Hamilton's aggressive approach in qualifying sessions aimed to outpace Red Bull's Verstappen.

However, a wing change before Q3 threw him off balance, making the car feel snappy and unmanageable. Despite the setback, Hamilton finished third, grateful for his team's efforts in optimizing the car's performance between sessions. Looking ahead to the race, he doubts the team's chances against Red Bull but stresses the importance of working as a unit to hold onto the position.

Leclerc, who secured second place by just 0.054 seconds behind Verstappen, attributes his improved performance to a stronger push in the final moments of Q3. He remains confident in Ferrari's long-run pace, highlighting the significance of a strong start to outmaneuver Verstappen.
