Hamilton, who has won in Singapore four times, believes that his team’s high-downforce package will work well at the Marina Bay street track.
In July, he took pole position at the Hungaroring, another venue that played to the strengths of the Mercedes.
“I feel like this [Monza] might be the worst one for us,” Hamilton said after finishing sixth in the Italian Grand Prix, one place behind team-mate George Russell.
“Singapore is all high downforce and, when we put our high downforce wing on, we generally are a little bit better. Not as bad as here. So I hope I'm right.”
Team boss Toto Wolff echoed Hamilton's sentiments, saying Mercedes “have got to maximise” results from the Singapore weekend.
Meanwhile, Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have indicated that they may have a tougher time than at other recent venues where their RB19 car has been dominant.
Verstappen, who has yet to win in Singapore, suggested that it won’t be the best circuit for Red Bull.
“A little bit more difficult, I think for us,” he said when asked about the team’s prospects.
