F1 2019, Singapore GP: 5 Predictions for the race

#1 Leclerc beats Hamilton to collect his hat-trick of wins

F1 Grand Prix of Singapore - Qualifying

Few drivers out there are commanding headlines in the manner this young 21-year-old driver from Monaco is. While he may have seemed slightly out of sorts in the first half of the season, if there's one driver who has painted the narrative of the second half of the season- as seen so far- then it's none other than Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari's answer to Lewis Hamilton's indomitable charge in his Mercedes begins his maiden Singapore Grand Prix wearing the 'Scarlett Red' from the pole position.

And on the race-day, he will once again give it his everything to fend off an attacking Hamilton in collecting his third win of the season, and therefore, a feisty hat-trick of Grand Prix wins.

Already, to his advantage, Charles Leclerc has gathered five pole positions in his first season with Ferrari and his tally of poles sees him ahead of stalwarts such as Lewis Hamilton, arguably the best driver on the grid.
