Is Lewis Hamilton’s Singapore 2018 pole lap overrated?
Hamilton’s pole position in Singapore in 2018 was a significant blow in the championship battle against Sebastian Vettel. Despite expectations that Ferrari and Red Bull would have the advantage, Hamilton’s lap was sensational, securing him pole position and eventually the win. Some argue that the lap is overrated due to the surprise factor of Mercedes performing well on a track where they usually struggle. However, the margin between Hamilton and his teammate Bottas, as well as Verstappen’s lap, showcase the competitiveness of the field. While Hamilton’s lap was impressive, there have been other memorable pole laps in Singapore, such as those by Vettel and Rosberg. Ultimately, while Hamilton’s lap was amazing, it may not be considered his best ever qualifying lap.
