One of the toughest races is on as the Driver goes underway to drive their F1 cars on the Singapore track, which is notably the toughest environment for any driver. Some drivers did not start in the practice race, some did well, and some found the wall.
Check out what Lewis Hamilton and other drivers said after the practice race day of the Singapore Grand Prix.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri: McLaren Team Driver’s Reaction
Lando Norris: He enjoyed the track most as he finished P2 in the First practice and P1 in the second practice race.
“I’m happy with today, a positive start to the weekend in tough conditions! We’ve got good competition with Ferrari looking strong, but we’ve started the weekend off on the right foot with some strong laps today. The hard work doesn’t stop, and we’ll look to make progress before Qualifying tomorrow evening.”

Oscar Piastri: The winner of the last race struggled in the race as he sprayed the wall while driving in the practice race 2nd but ended up finishing P5.
“It’s been a tricky first day. There are definitely some things to work on going into tomorrow. I’m struggling a little bit with the car and some disruption to FP1 meant it wasn’t the smoothest first day. However, the car looks quick, and we’ll work hard overnight to try to unlock some more performance.”
Oscar Piastri
Lewis Hamilton: Finished at P11 and said that he does not think that he going to qualify for the Q3 because the car is not performing well.
“It was a very challenging day for us. I didn’t feel particularly connected with the car throughout. We tried many different things on the set-up to try and find improvements but couldn’t find any major breakthrough. We were working hard as a team to make gains and get closer to the pace at the front, but we weren’t able to do so by the end of FP2. It was challenging to know exactly where we should put the car in terms of set-up and that is something we will be working hard on overnight. We need to find some additional speed otherwise we will be looking at a difficult Saturday tomorrow.”
Lewis Hamilton
It is going to be a hard race for all the drivers, and as many teams, F1 cars are struggling, which makes it harder for them to race with full potential.
