That was one of the most exciting qualifying sessions I can remember. I lost a lot of time at the beginning of my last lap and at that point I thought pole was lost. But I just kept going and managed to pull some time back. As a driver, through the weekend you plan to have the last lap in qualifying as your best. By that time the track has improved and you should have the settings as close to their optimum as theyre going to get. But there was so much happening out there and I was just trying not to look at what was going on around me. I was surprised by how close everyone was - the Red Bulls and Ferraris looked quick all day - and it was really fun to be a part of that session. The team have done a fantastic job to bring the car here, to a circuit where downforce is so important, and be at the front once again, so a big thank you to them. Its going to be a tough race tomorrow. Coming into the weekend we had an opinion about how the tyres would behave, but the long runs yesterday changed all that. Trying to manage them will be a big challenge but hopefully it will be an entertaining one for the fans. Im on the clean side of the track so Im hoping for a clean start and a strong race. #SingaporeGP #TeamLH MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS
