Martin Brundle hit Lewis Hamilton with criticism after the driver's own strategy led to the loss of a potential podium at the 'difficult' F1 Singapore GP.
Martin Brundle criticized Lewis Hamilton for making a bizarre strategy decision during the Singapore Grand Prix that cost him a podium. Hamilton chose to switch to a one-stop strategy by completing 44 laps on soft tires after an early pit stop on Lap 18. Ferrari had intended to use a two-stop plan, but Hamilton declined to pit under a Virtual Safety Car.
Brundle argued that managing team strategy from the cockpit is difficult, noting that Ferrari expected Hamilton to pit. Hamilton suffered severe tire wear, dropping from third to finish sixth behind McLaren's Oscar Piastri. Following the race, Hamilton took full responsibility and apologized to Ferrari for making the wrong call.
