F1: Session Report 2024 Singapore Grand Prix - Saturday
Second row lock-out for Sunday
It will be an all Mercedes second row for tomorrow's Singapore Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton lining up third and George Russell fourth.
Overnight work from the team trackside and those back at Brackley built on the encouraging finds from FP2's long run.
With a changed set-up, both drivers were happier with the car on both the Medium and Soft compounds in FP3; George ended the session P2 with Lewis P7.
Qualifying under the lights proved more challenging though with George reporting struggles with rear grip in Q1.
Both ultimately progressed to Q3 though where an accident for Carlos Sainz brought out the red flag and denied their first efforts.
With just one opportunity therefore, both Lewis and George delivered under pressure to take P3 and P4, just 0.026s separating the pair.

Lewis Hamilton I've been working really hard to improve my qualifying performances and to get myself back up at the front on a Saturday. The car came alive today and we had one of our strongest Saturdays in a while. That was a great feeling. Having just one effort in Q3 after the red flag was tricky, and there was perhaps a little bit more left in the car, but overall, I am really grateful for what we achieved today. I also want to say a big thank you to everyone in the garage. We've been moving around on balance all weekend and they've put in a big shift to get the car into a good place. We are now starting from a solid place to fight for the podium tomorrow. We don't know exactly where our race pace will be compared to others, but with the changes we made overnight, it felt like we had improved since Friday. We'll be giving it everything on Sunday.

If you had told us yesterday that we would qualify on the second row of the grid, we would have absolutely taken that. With the improvements we made overnight though, and how the car felt in FP3, I would have reconsidered. I was feeling super confident in the car, and everything was coming easily. That feeling deserted us in Q1 though and I would have bitten your hand off for P4. We were suffering from a lack of grip and were only just able to progress through each segment to Q3. I was able to put in a decent lap though once we were there and overall, we can't be disappointed with where we have ended the day. We can ultimately see today as a good recovery. Yesterday, we were on course to be watched in the midfield and yet here we are with a second-row lock-out. We would love to be starting further forward but the team has done a great job to get us back on track so a big thank you to them. Hopefully we can go on the attack tomorrow and fight for the podium.
Toto Wolff, Team Principal & CEO After a difficult Friday, we would have absolutely accepted, and been happy with, locking out the second row of the grid for tomorrow's race. With the progress we made with the car overnight though, and subsequent pace we showed in FP3, P3 and P4 feels a little underwhelming. With all that said, it is not a bad place to be starting the race from. The fluctuations in performance across Friday and Saturday that has affected many teams has been strange. Ferrari dropped back a little today while Max (Verstappen) took a step forward, along with ourselves. I suspect we will see more of those fluctuations tomorrow, too. Hopefully the work we've done to improve the car from Friday will also translate into our race pace and we can have a competitive Sunday fighting for the podium.
Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director After a challenging Friday, it is satisfying to have both cars on the second row after a qualifying session where it would have been easy to finish much further down the order. Our teams back in Brackley and Brixworth did a great job overnight to provide direction for FP3, and as soon as we hit the track, it was clear that both cars were in a much happier place. Qualifying here is always frantic - with rapidly improving track grip in the early stages and the potential jeopardy of yellow or red flags. We had managed to keep two sets of new Soft tires for Q3, but Sainz's accident and the subsequent red flag meant that we only had one shot at it in the final stages. Both Lewis and George did their quickest laps of the weekend to claim the second row and set us up strongly for tomorrow. It's always a demanding race here in Singapore and managing the rear tires will be key tomorrow evening. Safety Cars can offer opportunities to offset or do something different, as we saw last year, and we will be aiming to race for the podium and solid points after some challenging Grands Prix since the summer break.

Nuclear energy has been a hot topic in investors' minds after Microsoft (MSFT) and Constellation Energy (CEG) announced an agreement to restore a dormant nuclear power plant to power the tech company’s AI and cloud data centers. Radiant Energy Group founder and managing director Mark Nelson joins Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman to explain how nuclear energy could power the artificial intelligence era. Microsoft wants to restore the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania, known for one of the largest nuclear disasters in the US when one of the plant's two reactors melted down in 1979. A nuclear engineer himself,
Nelson explains that the plant’s other reactor “kept going for 40 years. The only reason it closed in 2019 is because fossil fuels were really cheap.” He says there’s a renewed interest in nuclear energy today because “we're running out of other energy sources… we're running out of power, and we're realizing that if we're going to have everybody buy electric vehicles, we have to be able to charge it from power plants that run all the time.” Nuclear power plants could help meet the energy-intensive needs of training and running AI, which has brought the utilities sector into focus.
Nelson says building new nuclear plants and restoring existing ones could help. “The very best American design for a nuclear plant is being built in China over and over again for about four years or so per reactor and about $3 billion. I don't think we're going to meet China's prices for building our reactors, but we could probably do a lot better building our reactors if we do it in series with the same design, the same plant layout, and we do it over and over," the expert tells Yahoo Finance. “Fortunately, we've got designs that are licensed and ready to go today at existing nuclear plants that already serve tens of millions of customers. Aand those are the plants that are being approached by the data centers.
So I think to get over this hump, we have to accept that we've got outstanding equipment ready to install. We've just forgotten how to do it and we need to do it the same way every time.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
