Lewis Hamilton “scared” himself with qualifying woes

"Not really understanding, I think that scared him a little bit"

Hamilton has been on the back foot on Saturdays compared to Mercedes teammate George Russell for most of this season.

“He has struggled - and been open with his struggles - in qualifying with this generation of car,” Tom Clarkson said on the F1 Nation podcast. “He said that he felt connected with the car, which was interesting. And pumped for the race. Which made me think, even if he didn’t say it publically, he thought he could take the fight forward.Hamilton’s Singapore Grand Prix largely fell apart due to a decision to start with soft tyres, in contrast to the rivals around him who ran mediums.

Barretto replied: “Lewis was confident of his own ability to make the most of a great starting slot. He’s been in the top five for the past 15 Singapore Grands Prix.”
