Hamilton's Singapore strategy gives THE RACE plenty to untangle

Edd Straw and Jon Noble report from the paddock in a twelve-upload week spanning team decisions, cost-cap reform and Rwanda's proposed circuit.

The pit stop matters. THE RACE's most watched new upload, "Why Lewis Hamilton's Singapore GP really imploded," examines how a podium position became sixth place on worn soft tires, and whether the crucial decision looked different on television than it did inside Ferrari.

Edd Straw and Jon Noble work through the strategy from the Singapore paddock, asking why Hamilton didn't stop under the virtual safety car and how much responsibility belonged to the team. The episode has drawn roughly 330,000 views. In the comments, viewers keep returning to the interaction between Hamilton's strategy and Charles Leclerc's: when should drivers on different tires be allowed past, and what information did the broadcast leave out? Those are questions, not a settled verdict.

McLaren supplied another substantial thread across the twelve uploads. One episode covers Andrea Stella's response to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's sprint collision; another, "Why McLaren has suddenly gone off the rails," examines lost pace and a car described as difficult to drive. That second analysis is currently drawing views faster than the Hamilton episode, although neither has the daily momentum of the channel's Rwanda circuit report.

That short takes Noble to the site of a planned purpose-built venue. Its description announces an African Grand Prix return in the 2030s, giving the week's Singapore-heavy coverage a much wider horizon. Elsewhere, Williams boss James Vowles' proposed cost-cap catch-up mechanism turns the focus from race-day calls to the advantages teams carry into a season.

THE RACE sits close to CarsandCameras in subscriber size, while Sky Sports F1 is having a busier-than-usual viewing day. For THE RACE itself, the newest momentum also includes a smaller, very specific Singapore puzzle: how Kimi Antonelli avoided a track-limits penalty.

What viewers say

  • hamilton was upset leclerc had not been told to let him past and felt the only way to overtake Leclerc was by staying out. another SC later in the race is common in Singapore - which may have been in his mind.
  • this one is weird. when would a driver ever refuse a free pitstop? It makes no sense.

  • Interesting how some messages weren't broadcast. But one that was: "hold position" when he was on softs. His race was already blown at that point, even he pitted under VSC.
