Here is how Twitter reacted to the qualifying session.
That was some lap by Hamilton. Unreal. #SingaporeGP
Well those haters are fast running out of excuses ..#LewisHamilton was winning because he had the best car.... #Vettel can't even beat him with the best car on there favoured tracks #SingaporeGP
I’ve said that before.. my opinion Lewis is one of the best driver of all time, if not the best. I had the pleasure of racing him many many times and his current form is impressive.
VER says he was having engine issues in #Q3, which makes his front row spot in #SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 even more impressive. #F1
Hamilton's Singapore pole lap #F1 #SingaporeGP
Watching VET’s body language in his post-qualifying interview, I’d say HAM’s pole lap was a crushing blow. #SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 #F1
That was a proper-quick pole lap by @LewisHamilton - bravo mate - but credit is also due to the man he’ll share the front row with, @Max33Verstappen, criticised by doubters early this year but having now outqualified @danielricciardo an impressive 9 times in a row. #SingaporeGP
