LEWIS HAMILTON TAKES POLE POSITION FOR THE SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX A GREAT EFFORT BY PASTOR WITH A FRONT ROW START.

SEBASTIAN VETTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIRD ON THE GRID..

Pastor Maldonado: We’ve been working really hard as at the beginning of the weekend we were struggling for pace. We continued improving throughout qualifying and we found a good balance in the car. I then had to put together a good lap in Q3 and I knew we could be right up at the front. I’m really looking forward to the race as we’ve shown consistently good pace on our longer runs throughout practice. We have all the tools to be competitive tomorrow, so it should be a good race for us.

SEBASTIAN VETTEL: “It’s hard to say what happened. I was happy until the end of Q2, but then in Q3 we weren’t able to go with the track and improve. In Q3 I couldn’t feel the grip so well and convert it to the lap time. The most important day is tomorrow and we have got pace in the car. We have been competitive this weekend and our target is to have a good race tomorrow; P3 is still a good place to start from.”
