Another act of wizardry from Hamilton. This season is shaping up to be his masterpiece
Mark my prediction.
Lewis is an absolute legend at 1:36.015. Max finishing second is genuinely ridiculous too given the difference between Mercedes/Ferrari and Red Bull.
Love that Lewis's smug faceOne of the best qualifying laps in recent times that, he hits every apex perfectly.
Yeah, that was a perfect lap. if he tried it a hundred more times, i'm not sure he could have got it that right again.
Fair play to him. if he wins tonight, the championship is over. i hope Seb can pull something crazy tonight. if i were him, i would be extremely agressive, even if it cost me my race. he's got nothing to lose and Lewis will play it safe because he'd know that a DNF for him and Seb would only benefits Seb.
Yep - Seb has to be over aggressive on the first lap today, however the last time that happened at Singapore he had Verstappen alongside him & last year that turned into a crucial turning point for the championship. Verstappen could play an interesting part in the race today.
When you see the track and the whole lap from that view you definitely get more of a view of how mentally exhausting it must be to drive that for a whole race.
Incredible. You can see how on the edge he is, how close he is to the wall at times, at breakneck speed. To do that shows you have that mental edge that the others simply do not have.
35 minutes and then the race starts. Can see Vettel cocking up again.
that's the spirit!!!
Somehow I have a feeling Max's engine isn't going to last.
The start's gonna be so intense, hope they all get through the first lap cleanly. If Lewis can come away with a 25 or more point lead in the championship then that has to be considered a successful weekend for him.
Am nervous about the start... hoping young Max behaves himself!
Lewis need to get a flying start , so if there is carnage behind he is in front of it.
Lewis needs to concentrate and stay calm. If someone passes him at the start, just let them go. The important thing is to finish the race.
Don't think Lewis is gonna risk.
What are the odd that the front 3 all tangle up as they all start aggressively but Lewis gets out unscathed.
I know my chickens.
More than likely Seb is unscathed!
It's something we say in Italy to say we know how it is gonna finish
Even if he is lucky, he is prone to errors. Making lot of mistakes this season. Needs everything to go for him to have a chance in the championship.More than likely Seb is unscathed!
I love it. Will start using itIt's something we say in Italy to say we know how it is gonna finish
I love it. Will start using it
I guess, but he's historically a lucky chap..
Wow 1.6 safety cars on average in this race.
Nice start from Lewis.
Finally a great start from Vettel. Now the SF is out on the track after the 2 Force India clash against each other.
FFS SC already
Saftey car already I guess.
Vettel and Max keeping it clean
Vettel and Max keeping it clean
Vettel get ahead of Max just before the SC
There's the 1...
Sergio totally at fault for me.
I want Vettel to win here (Don't like Hamilton) but I do almost feel like they wanted Vettel to get passed before issuing the safety car considering there is no doubt from the second the crash happened it was going to be a SC
Second time they've done that, delay the Safety Car so Vettel can overtake then drop it straight after.
No almost about it, was the same in Spa.I want Vettel to win here (Don't like Hamilton) but I do almost feel like they wanted Vettel to get passed before issuing the safety car considering there is no doubt from the second the crash happened it was going to be a SC
