#F1 #SingaporeGP - 2024 Singapore Grand Prix "Tough evening in the Lion City" Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

F1: Session Report
 
2024 Singapore Grand Prix - Sunday

 
Tough evening in the Lion City
  • George Russell finished fourth and Lewis Hamilton sixth in Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.
  • Taking position on the second row, Lewis lined up on the Soft tyre in P3 with George on the Medium compound in P4.
  • With track position so valuable in Singapore, the team opted for the Soft compound start to try and make opening lap gains.
  • That proved the wrong decision though with Lewis limited on the red-walled compound by overheating in his opening stint and ultimately having to stop early.
  • That enabled George and the McLaren of Oscar Piastri to overcut once everyone switched to the Hard compound.
  • Piastri's pace saw him come through to take P3 whilst the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc was able to put his pace and tyre advantage to use to first pass Lewis, then harry George in the closing stages.
  • George was able to resist the Monegasque though and hold on to P4, whilst Lewis came home P6 on an evening where the team had the fourth quickest car.

George Russell
After a very difficult Friday, we would have likely taken P4 in the Grand Prix. Our pace in Qualifying however made us believe we could achieve more. Today was no doubt a difficult race for us, both challenging in terms of our pace but also physically. The McLarens were very impressive and in another league to us, whilst Max (Verstappen) had the legs on us. We were able to hold off the Ferrari of Charles (Leclerc) in the closing stages, so it was very much an evening of damage limitation. Given the pace of the car, that was the very best we could have achieved.
 
We have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks to understand why we've struggled to challenge at the front in the past few races. We haven't been as competitive since the summer break and that is frustrating. We will work hard to get on top of it though and hopefully the updates we bring to the next race in Austin will help us take a step closer to the front.
 
Lewis Hamilton
It is hard to describe the range of emotions you feel when we have a difficult race like that. This year continues to be a testing one for everyone, but we are all pushing as hard as we can. We don't always get things right and that was the case today with our strategy. We all head into the weekend, and every decision we take, with the right intentions and sometimes it doesn't work out. It can be frustrating, but we are all in this together.
 
We have lost some form to the leaders in the past few races and we're working hard to figure out why that is. We will do what we do best though and that is to come together as a team, analyse and refocus ahead of Austin. We will head there with energy, drive, and determination. It's another opportunity to show what we can do when we get things right and to hopefully take a step forward with the car.
 
Toto Wolff, Team Principal & CEO
That was a really painful evening for us. P4 and P6 is not a good result after starting P3 and P4. Our strategy decisions in the race were determined by our experiences in the past here where track position is crucial. We thought that the Soft tyre would give Lewis an advantage at the start but that turned out to be the wrong decision. With our challenges managing the rear surfaces, we went backwards. Overtaking proved possible, contrary to previous races here where it has been more processional, and in hindsight we should have started him on the Medium.
 
It doesn't hide the fact though that we were too slow today. We are struggling at the moment with tracks that are hot and demanding on traction, like here and Baku, but that is no excuse. It is difficult for us to accept but we must do and find a way to improve. We now look ahead to Austin where we will have an update coming and we hope that will move us forward.
 
Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director
Our pace was ultimately poor today and that made for an incredibly challenging evening. Having qualified within a couple of tenths of Norris and Verstappen, we anticipated being able to race for the podium. That shaped our decision to start on the Soft compound with Lewis as we looked to make up ground on the opening lap. Unfortunately, with our lack of pace and struggles to control the rear tyre temperatures, that proved the incorrect decision and left him in for a tough race.
 
It was very much a case of a defensive strategy and race for George. We had to pick our battles, and it was clear that we didn't have the speed to be in a fight with the McLaren of Oscar Piastri. He was much faster and, with a tyre advantage, was always going to get through. George did well to hold off the hard-charging Ferrari of Leclerc and limit the damage.
 
We've now got the opportunity over the next few weeks to analyse and understand what happened to our pace today. We had moments over the weekend where we were competitive, so we know there is inherent pace in the car. We will also be bringing an update package to the car at the next race and we hope that can bring us closer to the fight at the front.

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. 

George Russell 
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.
