Lewis Hamilton will be keen to become the second driver to win the
Singapore Grand Prix for a record five times after Sebastian Vettel.
Most recent race
The British racing driver failed to secure a podium spot at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix on 3 September as he finished sixth on the Monza Circuit.
Hamilton started on the eighth grid and he managed to pass a few cars before securing a sixth-spot finish which earned him eight points.
Standings
The 38-year-old is still placed fourth on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 164 points with eight races left.
Hamilton is 200 points behind the Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT driver Max Verstappen who is the runaway leader.
Why Hamilton could win the 2023 Singapore GP
The Formula One legend is one of the most successful drivers in the history of this race having won it four times.
Having clinched the Singapore GP title in 2009, 2014, 2017 and 2018, Hamilton will be determined to make it five wins when he competes on the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
What did he say?
"A bit unfortunate, I misjudged the gap that I had to [McLaren's Oscar] Piastri," Hamilton said after the 2023 Italian Grand Prix.
"It was totally my fault, and I went and apologised to him straight afterward. Every point and position through these races seems to be incredibly hard-fought.
"It was nice to be offset on the Hard tyre. But it was difficult in the beginning and not easy to follow in the DRS train. But in the end, I enjoyed the battles."
