Lewis Hamilton wants a 3-team fight
On a track that would normally suit Ferrari or Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton stuck his Mercedes on pole. Flanking him will be Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. Behind the trio are Valtteri Bottas, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo respectively.
Completing the top 10 are Sergio Perez, Romain Grosjean, Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg. Just missing out are Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz Jr, Charles LeClerc, Marcus Ericsson and Pierre Gasly in Q2. Missing out in Q1 were the usual suspects, Brendon Hartley, Sergey Sirotkin, Lance Stroll and Stoffel Vandoorne. However, they were joined by Kevin Magnussen who was caught out late into the session.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the qualifying session.

I’ve said that before.. my opinion Lewis is one of the best driver of all time, if not the best. I had the pleasure of racing him many many times and his current form is impressive.

VER says he was having engine issues in #Q3, which makes his front row spot in #SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 even more impressive. #F1

Watching VET’s body language in his post-qualifying interview, I’d say HAM’s pole lap was a crushing blow. #SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 #F1 pic.twitter.com/i1ceSf0aOv

That was a proper-quick pole lap by @LewisHamilton – bravo mate – but credit is also due to the man he’ll share the front row with, @Max33Verstappen, criticised by doubters early this year but having now outqualified @danielricciardo an impressive 9 times in a row. #SingaporeGP pic.twitter.com/fpXMWEsFjx
