Lewis Hamilton says the 2023 Mercedes W14 Formula 1 car is the 'hardest car that I've ever driven to get right' after qualifying fifth for the Singapore Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion ended up 0.501s down on polesitter Carlos Sainz at the Marina Bay track, while team-mate George Russell split the Ferraris to qualify on the front row.
Hamilton scored the team's only pole position of the year in Hungary, his first since 2021, but it remains his only front-row start of the season to date, and he remarked in Monza last time out that he was"counting down the days until February" when the new Mercedes is launched Hamilton believes Russell has"a really good shot at potentially winning" the grand prix on Sunday, with the younger Briton talking up the potential advantage that may result from having an extra set of medium tyres.But Hamilton played down his own prospects of a strong result as he is unsure how the car will respond to the set-up changes over a long stint.
