The side-by-side onboard comparison below shows just how closely matched Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were during their best Singapore Sprint Qualifying laps. Charles Leclerc ultimately stopped the clock at 1:33.495, just 0.253 seconds faster than Lewis Hamilton’s 1:33.748. For much of the lap, the two Ferrari drivers appear remarkably close, but the difference becomes more noticeable as the lap develops. The Briton looks more aggressive in several sections and has to make more visible steering corrections, while the Monegasque’s lap appears slightly cleaner and more controlled through the later sequence of corners. That fits the overall picture from SQ3, where the Monegasque was able to extract more from the SF-26 at the decisive moment, while the Briton’s small mistakes and rear-end instability ultimately cost him time. The comparison also highlights how narrow the margins were between the two Ferrari cars around Marina Bay.
