Hamilton sees an opportunity
Lewis Hamilton hopes Singapore's corners will better suit Ferrari. In comments published by Formula 1 on 8 October, he emphasises qualifying and an attacking approach. The Malaysia podium offers a starting point, but he does not regard it as proof that Ferrari is back in contention for victory.
Leclerc tempers expectations
Charles Leclerc warns that previous strong results at Marina Bay do not guarantee current performance. In his assessment, Ferrari has lost ground to the leading teams and winning would be difficult.
The Sprint format compresses preparation
In Formula 1's official weekend analysis, Hamilton says the team often begins practice with a reasonable baseline. Singapore, however, provides only one practice session before Sprint Qualifying. Formula 1 also highlights the differences between daytime and night sessions, which complicate set-up choices.
What APEX will look for
APEX interpretation: consistently getting closer to rivals is a more useful benchmark than one spectacular lap. We will compare pace and positions in the relevant sessions, keeping comments separate from results. Readers can follow the schedule in Race Hub and find team context in Ferrari's profile.
