Lewis Hamilton names Singapore desire key to ending long Ferrari drought

Lewis Hamilton has expressed his desire for rain to play a part in
this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix. Despite its proximity to the
equator and tendency for thunderstorms, the Marina Bay race has
only been impacted twice by rain, in 2017 and 2022, but the
forecast for this weekend's race indicates a third race could be
subject to the conditions.  Hamilton won the 2017 race, made famous
for Kimi Raikkonen, Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and Sebastian
Vettel all being eliminated in first-lap collisions.  The Ferrari
driver has seven podiums in Singapore, including four wins, but is
still awaiting his first grand prix rostrum visit for his new team,
as he detailed how qualifying and rain could make this weekend's
race "a little bit interesting." "I mean, there are going to be
races where if we qualify much better, we're going to be in a much
better position to race," Hamilton told media , including
RacingNews365. "I would give anything for an upgrade, but
obviously, we don't have that as the focus is on next year's car,
so we just have to do better in optimising and with execution. 
[Singapore] is not one of the most exciting races, so qualifying is
going to be everything, and then I hope it rains or something like
that, so it at least makes it a little bit interesting." When then
also asked about ending his podium drought with the Scuderia,
Hamilton simply replied that: "It'd be nice, but it is not really
going to change much for me."
