As Lewis Hamilton prepared to move to Mercedes in September 2012, he posted this stunning Instagram pic of the moon rising over Singapore’s Marina Bay circuit, a race that saw his 4th retirement in seven GPs, this time the result of gearbox failure, leaving Hamilton 52 points behind Ferrari’s then championship leader Fernando Alonso with just six races of the season remaining.

I have the best fans in the world, some of them are here. Whether at the track or my hotel, I am so grateful for the love & support. & Singapore, I love this track!!!
