Lewis Hamilton Fastest on Free practice 1 for Singapore Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton was quickest for McLaren in a shortened first free practice for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Issues with the kerbing on the exit of Turns 3 and 14 developed during support race session, and led to an half-hour delay while the kerbs were removed before the session could get underway.
With only a two-hour gap between Friday practice sessions in Singapore, practice one was reduced to just 60 minutes to keep the timetable on schedule, although a further problem with the kerbing, this time at Turn 7, brought the red flags out eight minutes from the end. Quick work by marshals saw the offending kerb section removed within five minutes so a little more running could take place.
