In comments made before Marina Bay’s first Formula 1 Sprint, Lewis Hamilton praised Ferrari’s simulation work and said he hoped the team would start the weekend from the right place, with just one practice session available.
Hamilton said Ferrari generally got off to a good start in FP1, and that its car had more often than not begun weekends in 2026 from a reasonable place. He said the picture could shift between sessions: some teams closed in while others pulled away.
The schedule called for one Friday practice session in daylight, followed by night-time Sprint Qualifying, with the Sprint itself set for sunshine. Hamilton said every team faced the same format, which could work well or badly.
