Hamilton worried by Whoop score of about 40% during Singapore GP week

During the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, Lewis Hamilton said he was really worried about his Whoop sleep score: it was coming out at about 40% even when he felt he had slept well.

F1 teams and drivers traditionally stay on European time for the Marina Bay race’s night-time slot. That means going to bed in the early hours and sleeping through daylight behind blackout blinds. Hamilton said he was going to bed at three or four a.m. and linked that timing to the lower score.

He said the score was on his mind every day as he tried to get efficient sleep, which he found difficult in Singapore. Lighting and the timing of meals also affected him, he said.

Asked about the routine, Hamilton initially said he did not mind it but neither liked nor disliked it, calling it a challenge and something different. Later in the same answer, he described the weekend as “massively challenging” but said he liked it.
