Formal 1 | Hamilton’s qualifying “Albtraum” ended in Singapore

“So, whoever does that, don’t see it in Q3,” Lewis Hamilton said after Friday practice for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix. A Formel 1 record champion would be so free, that’s the prediction that this is done.

The war that Samstag caused by the Fall and Hamilton started in qualifying as Dritter first with Heimrennen in Silverstone to run the Monaten with a Formel-1 qualifying race in the Top 3.

“The qualifying war for my whole year is a catastrophe, and I have a kit and a kit, one of the things I come with. A car is waiting for qualifying if it takes longer,” Hamilton reported.

The qualification takes place in those years “long an Alpine dream”, so the Mercedes driver, of the internal qualifying duel against team colleague George Russell for Singapore with 4:13 backlag and his stay in the summer break while Russell heralded a war.

Ausgerechnet in Singapore, where Hamilton in the Freitag no longer cooperates, is now one of the few things we can do. “We live in balance, we live in our homes and our lives change everything,” reports the Rekordweltmeister.

FT3 and qualification a difference “like night and day”

So I have become a car owner, who has become “massive”. “We can’t do it without any problems, even if we don’t know anything about it,” Hamilton reports, the Training Day in the Zeitenlist now on Rank eleven has been hatte – pretty much a Science hinter Lando Norris.

“We had a change in the night, since we came here, and we were more than happy with the light. I was definitely shocked, as I was, that was the case (im driving training) immer nor 1,2 Sekunden behind Lando lagen”, so Hamilton.

In the end, the Briton was exactly 1.218 seconds behind Norris in FT3. I qualified when I only participated in the Q3-Run by 0.316, although Hamilton reported that he got an unused “who night and tag” in the car.

If you do the duration of the training, there is still no question of any effort. And that went in the right direction. Hamilton lobs: “The Mechaniker has received a fehlerfrei equipment. I can also be herzlich in thanking.”

Hamilton’s Q3 Run “nichts Besonderes”

And if you see P3 “very, very happy,” it is possible that you can no longer enjoy. About the red flag in the third quarter it was said: “There is a big damage, while the rhythm comes into the Rhythmus.”

“It’s a matter of time, even if the run at the end is good, it would be a bit more fun”, so Hamilton said: “I think, my run (at the end) was also special. perfect hinzubekommen.”

So he drove Hamilton with a time of 1:29.841, while the driven Platz made him in Q2 (1:29.929) now minimal. Er is betont daher: “I think there is maybe a little bit more in the car, but I think it’s good (for the Ergebnis).”

“I think, with a single job, we were able to see it with (Lando Norris) in the first place. After all, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I would still be happy,” says the Brite. a bit clear.

It’s not a clip from Hamilton

It was unclear what would happen if the man would go over the Sonttag after the FT3-vorgen. There is a very good “keine ahnung”, who is in the top 3 and reaches the podium.

“That’s the way to go, because the passages were different, but the days were still Albtraum. I’m happy, our tempo is with the long runs, but they are medium-sized. It’s so good who (…) those McLarens. We’ll have the car jetzt in One whole other window is set.”

“If we want to prepare ourselves as well, the balance tomorrow will be different than in the sessions. I think it will be the management of the temperature. That will also be the case tomorrow,” Hamilton explains.

It is said about your Fall: “We will be happy with these Jungs. We will not be able to survive with the McLarens, but everything will be done.” Together with Russell, who had just started in P4, he ended up with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen on Fall “Druck”.

Possibly a good sign for Hamilton: If in Silverstone, for the time being, Mal finishes in the top 3 in qualifying, the race on the Sontdag could be won by a landslide …
