'I Love that Challenge': Hamilton Prays for Rain in Singapore
- Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari driver, arrived at the Singapore Grand Prix on Thursday hoping for rain to replicate his masterclass performance in Malaysia, where he climbed from 18th to third.
- Last week's Malaysia race suffered a 53-minute delay after a software bug linked to the 50-50 combustion-battery power split left cars unable to power up on the formation lap.
- The FIA revealed on Thursday that the software bug was at fault, planning to reinstate the Sepang configuration for Singapore. Further wet-weather updates are scheduled for the United States Grand Prix on October 25.
- Lamenting modern caution, Hamilton argued the sport has diminished "seat of your pants" wet-weather driving. "Wet-weather races aren't the same as we used to have, for sure," he said in Singapore.
- Forecasts suggest rain could influence both Saturday's sprint and Sunday's grand prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The expanded sprint calendar leaves only a single Friday practice session for teams to dial in setups.
