The Story in 60 Seconds

Lewis Hamilton took full responsibility for Ferrari's flawed strategy at the Singapore Grand Prix after dropping to a sixth-place finish. Starting on medium tires, Hamilton attempted to create strategic variance against front-runners Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, but his pace faded, turning him into a bottleneck for chasing drivers.
