The Singapore qualifying session was a mixed bag for the Mercedes paddock, with Russell crashing out in Q2. However, Hamilton arguably made up for Russell’s result with some incredible laps. The man who has the second most wins at the Marina Bay Street Circuit after Sebastian Vettel might just level with the German by getting one victory tomorrow.
Showcasing how far they’ve come, the Mercedes man was on provisional pole on multiple occasions during the last qualifying session. Hamilton even improved his timing during the session with a massive 1.2 seconds. The incredible jump can be credited to the drying track. However, credit where credit is due and a lot of it goes to Hamilton’s ability behind the wheel to.
Although, the qualifying did not end as planned for Sir Hamilton as he managed P3 at the end. Although in terms of pace, Hamilton was off just one-tenth of a second from pole sitter Charles Leclerc, the minuscule gap from the leader is an exciting prospect for the team and Hamilton for the upcoming race.

The fans are celebrating Hamilton’s performance and rightly so. The race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit should hopefully add to the celebrations.
Lewis Hamilton nearly got pole in the third fastest car for the second time in 3 GPs. That's crazy man. And people will tell you he sucks at street circuits. He's genuinely god-like.
