2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix Highlights

The team picked up four points under the famous floodlights at the 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

Aston Martin’s mechanics worked hard on a precautionary brake change for Lance ahead of the Grand Prix.

Due to the humid nature of the street circuit, it was pivotal to keep the cars as cool as possible. Starting from the seventh, Fernando opted for the Medium compound. Meanwhile, Lance began from P17 on the Hard tyre.

Pitting at the end of Lap 25, Fernando switched to Hards. A lap later, Lance came in for Mediums. Fernando crossed the line in eighth, securing four critical points, and Lance concluded the street race in P14.

It was a very physical race today, but we executed everything well and scored some good points. We tried the undercut strategy by stopping a few laps before the others, and it worked quite well for us. In truth, it has been a difficult car to drive all weekend, and we have done very well in finishing only a few seconds behind a Ferrari. We have a lot of work to do back at Silverstone in the next few weeks to improve our Austin performance.

Lance Stroll

It’s been a very difficult weekend here in Singapore. On my laps to the grid, I felt some strange vibrations, so the team worked quickly to replace a set of brakes as a precaution. It was a huge effort from the mechanics out there, so a big thanks to them for getting that sorted so quickly in this heat.

We knew it was going to be a tough race, and we suffered from issues similar to yesterday: grip and balance. Austin is a very different circuit, so we hope it suits our car better.

Mike Krack, Team Principal:

Tonight we saw an impressive test of human performance with the drivers completing 62 laps of racing under the lights in Singapore with high humidity, temperatures of over 30C and no rest bite.

Lance’s crew worked swiftly on a precautionary brake issue that we saw on the laps to the grid. They showed incredible teamwork to change the front brakes, and Lance was able to complete the race without any issues. Lance did well but unusually we didn’t see a safety car in Singapore which may have opened some opportunities.

Fernando’s four points are another hard-won reward for an impressive Qualifying and race of endurance. Some decent points from the double-header here and in Baku. We now have a mini break to regroup and find more performance ahead of the last six Grands Prix starting in Austin.

I would like to thank everyone in the garage who has worked in these extreme conditions this week.
