Can Lewis Hamilton win the 2008 F1 Singapore GP?

Why are we asking?

Since there's the prospect of rain in the very first night race in Formula One, we're asking if Lewis Hamilton can finally overcome the elements this Sunday after watching him slip all over the racetrack in Monza and Spa.

And with the 2008 F1 season nearing its conclusion, Hamilton knows he doesn't have much of a choice but to overcome, unless he wants to see the championship slip from his hands again.

Heading to the 2008 F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Hamilton is holding on to the lead with 78 points. Closing in on him is Felipe Massa who has 77 and since Massa is known to thrive in wet weather conditions, Hamilton better come up with his A-game come raceday.

For what it's worth, although Lewis Hamilton still hopes for dry conditions, he remains confident that they can do good even under the rain. But unlike Felipe Massa who has already shown what he can do under wet weather conditions, Hamilton has yet to show how good he is with water.

''The weather forecast says it will rain all week but every time I have woken up it is dry and quite warm,'' Lewis Hamilton said.

''It has been raining in the morning but has stopped by the time I get up so hopefully it will be the same this weekend. We always hope for a dry race as it is a lot easier to keep the car on the track and push it to the limit.''

''If we had a slower car in the dry I'd probably be praying for the rain but the fact is we have a competitive car in both conditions.''

''I think we start from scratch,'' Lewis Hamilton added, referring to this season's title race. ''There is only one point so I can't say I have a comfortable lead. I have to look at this race the same as I have the others this season and really try to attack this weekend.''

''We have a great package and we have done a great job to prepare the car and it is now down to me to give the right feedback and make sure I take the right steps over the weekend.''
