Ferrari still behind: Lewis Hamilton lists what’s not working

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari just can&#8217t make the leap together, despite the fact that the Englishman showed up at the Marina Bay circuit with all intentions of doing well, even to dedicate a good performance to his beloved bulldog Roscoe. On the other hand, Saturday’s qualifying session generated just a sixth place on the grid ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, a cause for regret and criticism of the team.

“We will have to have some internal discussions in the team – Hamilton explained to ‘Sky Sport’ -. We need to talk about it calmly so that we can then all improve together. Also because in Ferrari everyone is working as best they can, but we also need to see a little bit’ what others are doing”. A message, in short, that invites the Cavallino team to take inspiration from the work of rivals. Starting with Mercedes, which, having arrived in Singapore full of doubts, has snatched a splendid pole position with George Russell.

And to say that Hamilton had good feelings since Friday in Singapore. “I felt good in the car throughout the course of the weekend – confessed the Ferrari Briton -You can also tell from my first lap in Q1, when I had felt really strong. I thought we could fight for the top positions”. Instead, as even a particularly nervous and argumentative Charles Leclerc pointed out, already from Q2 something started to go wrong again.

On this point, Hamilton has an’idea and even a recipe to propose to Ferrari. “The way we carry out the program, that of the’waiting in the pitlane, the management of the tire temperature, the’use of a compound for only one lap and then return to the pits are all elements that prevent us from getting the most out of a session. We need to work on all these elements to get the most out of our potential” is the seven-time world champion&#8221s warning.
