Lewis Hamilton was left scratching his head at the Mercedes strategy call which saw him go from challenging for victory at the Singapore Grand Prix to finishing off the podium.
In the opening stages Hamilton was pushing Charles Leclerc for the lead as the lead drivers waited to pull the trigger on the opening round of pit-stops. However, it was third-placed Sebastian Vettel who did so for Ferrari -- that decision ultimately propelled him ahead of both Hamilton and his own teammate, Charles Leclerc, for a lead he converted into victory.
Hamilton was forced to extend his first stint on the soft tyre in the hope of a Safety Car period -- that did not happen in time, leaving him in fourth position by the time he had made his own stop.
