Hamilton says Mercedes 'ruined' his Singapore GP with a clear strategy mistake
Lewis Hamilton has not forgotten the one that got away in Singapore. The seven-time world champion was left fuming after a strategy call last year scuppered what he felt was a genuine shot at the podium under the lights.
In a race where track position is everything and Safety Car timing often dictates the final order, Hamilton argued Mercedes made the wrong call at the crucial moment. The frustration was immediate and public, with the Briton describing the decision as a “clear mistake.”
Singapore has often been a chess match for Hamilton — and in 2024 he felt the decisive move went against him. This time around, both driver and team will be keen to ensure their calculations are rock solid when the race inevitably pivots on timing and discipline.
