• Lewis Hamilton the fastest in second practice session
For the last two meetings of the Singapore Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel had strong hopes of victory. On both occasions he was still in the championship fight with Lewis Hamilton. Both times Hamilton took the win. This year the odds weigh even heavier against the German but given his poor performances of late an error-free run may be the fillip he requires. Vettel says he still loves the sport, but sorely needs to find his touch if Sunday afternoons are not to become more chore than passion.
Four times a winner under the floodlights of the Marina Bay circuit – a stern physical and mental test of 23 corners in heat and high humidity, beneath walls that punish any mistakes – Vettel relishes this challenge. The task has not changed but this year carries even more pressure and Vettel conceded in Singapore this is not a track that is forgiving of a driver perhaps pushing too hard.
