How Hamilton "tipped it over the edge" with a setup change too far in Singapore GP qualifying
After showing an impressive turn of speed in the first knock-out phases, Lewis Hamilton pushed too far to unlock more pace
In Singapore GP qualifying, Lewis Hamilton's team change ultimately tipped the scales in his favor, propelling him to third place behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. Hamilton initially set the fastest lap in both Q1 and Q2, but a front-wing adjustment altered the car's balance. Despite this change, Hamilton said the car felt excellent in the early segments, "She's got more in her."
However, the final laps in Q3 were poor, and the Ferrari drivers felt they could have done better. The team change may have been a bit too aggressive, as Hamilton's car exhibited excessive oversteer at Turn 3, requiring correction. The fine line between being on the limit and over the edge proved challenging for the driver.
