Hamilton apologizes to Ferrari after Singapore Grand Prix strategy error

Lewis Hamilton expressed regret to Ferrari following an incorrect strategy decision during the Singapore Grand Prix on October 8, which resulted in him finishing sixth. His choice not to pit during a virtual safety car led to significant tire degradation and a loss of valuable points. Hamilton stated over the radio, "I let you down today with that strategy," and took full responsibility for his call. As a consequence, Kimi Antonelli now has the opportunity to secure his first world title at the upcoming US Grand Prix in Austin, needing an advantage of at least 125 points after the race. Antonelli's lead over George Russell has extended to 102 points and 111 over Hamilton.
