Lewis Hamilton calls for major track change for it to become 'truly great circuit'

Article To news overview Lewis Hamilton has called for changes to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, arguing that a longer straight is needed to turn Singapore into "a truly great racing circuit".

Hamilton finished second in Saturday's sprint race behind Max Verstappen, before qualifying third for Sunday's grand prix, split from Red Bull's Verstappen and his own team-mate Charles Leclerc by less than 0.2 seconds.

But despite the tight margins at the front, Hamilton believes the Singapore layout still lacks the characteristics needed for genuinely great racing, pointing specifically to the shortage of overtaking zones around the 19-corner street track.
