Lewis Hamilton finished sixth at the Singapore Grand Prix after a strategy decision cost him a chance at a podium.

The Ferrari driver chose not to pit for fresh tyres during a Virtual Safety Car period, while team-mate Charles Leclerc did pit.

His old tyres lost pace late in the race, and he was passed by Leclerc, Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli and McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
