A few words from Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, before the off. “Max [Verstappen] has nothing to lose, this is probably his best chance to win a race this year,” he says. Kevin Magnussen, the Haas driver, meanwhile adds: “It’s a little bit slippery, I’m not sure why. It’s definitely the toughest race of the year. It will be a long race.” Max Verstappen says: “I’m confident, I’ll see what I can do.”
It’s 29 degrees out in Singapore, so plenty of the drivers – from Räikkönen to Ricciardo – have been sinking into ice baths over the past couple of days. One of the biggest challenges around the circuit will be that heat and humidity, almost 70%, though Hamilton made pretty light work of one of the toughest tracks to navigate.
