George Russell cut a dejected figure slouching back into the Singapore Grand Prix paddock after the ignominy of his last-lap crash. He had given his all for glory but it bit him back, a situation both he and Mercedes will want to learn from for future Formula 1 battles
and ratcheted up the pressure following the safety car period at the end of the race's opening third. It was, per Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, a"99.9% fantastic weekend" - but that final 0.01% tainted his otherwise stellar performance at the end.
With a front-row start, Russell knew he was on for a potential victory in Singapore. It didn't matter that Sainz had got pole, and nor did it matter if he wasn't able to mount an assault for the lead on the first lap, as Mercedes had an ace up its sleeve that it was particularly keen to play. Mercedes spent much of FP1 and FP3 running around on the hard tyres, ensuring it could save a set of mediums for Sunday's 62-lap encounter.
