Lewis Hamilton vows Mercedes will ‘refocus’ after ‘difficult’ F1 Singapore GP

Lewis Hamilton has vowed that his Mercedes team will do its utmost to overcome its regression in competitiveness once the Formula 1 season resumes next month.

Hamilton endured a tough Singapore Grand Prix as the choice to start on Softs saw him drop three spots to sixth, over 20 seconds behind team-mate George Russell.

In a statement released post-race Hamilton expressed his disappointment at how his race unravelled, but admitted that he held no grudges over the strategic decision.

“It is hard to describe the range of emotions you feel when we have a difficult race like that,” he said.

“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.”

Hamilton optimistic Mercedes will rebound

Mercedes has sustained a downturn in results since recording three victories in four races up to the summer break, amassing one podium in the previous four events.

However, Hamilton, who will depart for Ferrari in 2025, has insisted the German marque will work around the clock through the break to come back stronger in Austin.

“We have lost some form to the leaders in the past few races and we’re working hard to figure out why that is,” the Briton added.

“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.

Both Russell and Hamilton did not partake in any media duties after the race due to extreme exhaustion caused by the high temperatures in Singapore, with Team Principal Toto Wolff opining that both men were suffering from “borderline heat stroke,” and were being assessed by doctors.
