2022 Singapore Grand Prix

[FLRacingFan]

F1 returns to Singapore for the first time since 2019.

 

[Kiante]

CANAL+ is reporting that Nyck De Vries has signed with Alpha Tauri.

 

[Tony_K]

I look forward to the return. Such a cool looking place and it seems so long since the last race.

It's just practice, but it looks pretty tight at the front: https://racer.com/2022/09/30/hamilton-bests-verstappen-in-opening-singapore-gp-practice/

Zhou just continues to impress.

 

[Hotrod]

That quali was fun. I was pulling for LewHam. Thought he could do it.

Whew,Maxs panties in a wad about something.

 

[FLRacingFan]

So Red Bull didn’t fuel Max enough for him to finish his run and have a fuel sample left over, P8 on what should’ve been a front row run. Great inters-to-slicks qualifying. Can tomorrow be wet again too?

Quite crazy after running all of those laps.

I'll tell you what, Ferrari has put together a pretty dang good weekend. I hope they are able to cap this off the right way.

Nice to see Max start 8th, should be a fun race until he goes into P1

They ought to Make Max start last every time. He would probably still put on a great show and win the race.

Should be pretty interesting as it’ll be tougher to pass on a tight street course. Not at all like Monza or Spa.

I suspect positions 7-2 will go easy on Max and not put up too much of a fight as they will be safeguarding their point status, hopefully Leclerc will get racy as in the past.

 

[Doc Austin]

Ferrari will do something stupid again like put Carlos' tires on the car or even wets on a dry track. They have everything they need to win races except a good strategy guy.

You do you guys make of this budget cap row we're having now? They are talking about stripping Max's championship.

 

[West]

Zero chance of that happening.

 

[Doc Austin]

Per rules, there are minor overruns and there are major ones that could include exclusion. I don't know where the dividing line is, but the price cap doesn't seem like it is working.

If anything, I can see a fine, probably a large one if the other teams get to split it.

 

[Doc Austin]

It would leave a bad taste if they pulled Max's championship nearly a year later, but a cheating scandal leaves a bad taste too.

 

[Doc Austin]

Now the FIA is fining Mercedes 22,000 for not including Hamilton's nose ring in their self-scrutineering paperwork.

FIA announce Mercedes penalty as Lewis Hamilton twice summoned to stewards in Singapore

Can you even make this stuff up?

 

[Kiante]

It's raining:

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

It’s amazing how much money is in F1 and the best they got to dry the track is some guys with brushes

 

[donthaveanickname]

First race in Asia after three long years, feels like forever since the last Singapore GP.

 

[aunty dive]

I DVR Formula 1 races because of the start times. 5am Pacific today.

For some reason I snapped awake at 5:15 this morning. Wide awake. Got up, made coffee and turned the rig on.
Started watching the coverage and quickly figured out that if I was still sleeping, my recording would have ended well before the race did.

Salvaged my Sunday. Love wet races.

 

[Kiante]

Not a lot of room for error here.

 

[Kiante]

Sectors 2 and 3 look like nightmares.

 

[FLRacingFan]

We don’t get enough wet races anymore. Nice change of pace so far.

 

[Kiante]

Example 55 why Latifi is outta here.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Latifi moment.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Latifi is a top 10 worst F1 driver of all time

 

[donthaveanickname]

 

[Kiante]

George!?

 

[Kiante]

Good lord Alpine.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Goddamned Alpine reliability again.

 

[Kiante]

Great save by Yuki there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Russell about to look like a hero or a zero on these slicks.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Well with United getting propered ****ed time to put my full attention to the race

 

[Kiante]

I hope Albon is getting paid nicely to drive these Williams sh*tboxes.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looked like the green flag came out when the Marshalls were still on track.

 

[Kiante]

What a shocking weekend for Alpine.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wtf Alpine
