'Sh*t!' - Hamilton impressed by Leclerc form

Charles Leclerc made it three pole positions on the spin at the Singapore Grand Prix to take another round of richly deserved plaudits, including from world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Leclerc has more pole positions than anyone in F1 this year, having taken his fifth P1 of the year around Marina Bay.

Hamilton is F1's most successful qualifier of all-time; his previous pole at Hockenheim was the 87th of his career.

While Hamilton still holds a dominant championship lead, Leclerc is certainly the hottest property in F1 at the moment and the five-time champion cut an impressed figure when discussing Leclerc's form with him after Saturday's exertions.
