And despite Lewis saying they would not get out of Q2 , there he is P1 in Q2

assume it’s the track rubbering in and the times will keep getting faster. or they won’t. could go either way really.
 
Colapinto just 0.007s off Albon. Again on a track he has never raced on before. This is just incredible
 
Feels a bit disrespectful to Haas for Bearman to be hanging out in the Ferrari garage.

Colapinto deserves a drive as much as Bearman or Lawson, and more than Antonelli, on current evidence.

No chance he gets one sadly. Only Sauber/Audi with a seat and that will go to a safe pair of hands like Bottas.

politics in f1 was one of the reasons i never got a drive. talent was the other factor.

watching Sky it said red flag almost immediately, well that’s what I thought.

Yeah he completed his lap before the Red Flag which is why it was initially on the board. But he probably ignored a double yellow so could be in trouble
 
i reckon max kept his foot in, he just made the sound of the engine throttling back with his mouth for the cameras. hope they throw the book at him.
 
the official message is "Double yellow flags"


CAR 1 (VER) TIME 1:29.791 DELETED - DOUBLE YELLOW AT TURN 18

But onboard does show he lifted, so he will just lose the lap time.
 
Norris IMO is up there with Leclerc as the best qualifier on the grid.
 
Max should be delighted with that. Being right behind his closest challenger at a track like this is huge

True, didn't expect him to get P2 but T1 with everything that surrounds him could be ..well ...interesting. At the very least I expect George to torpedo Lewis and what might result from that is anybody s guess
 
I had Leclerc winning , that’s not happening now.
Think Norris will be hard to beat, but his starts are not good enough .

Singapore GP grid: Top 10​

1) Lando Norris, McLaren
2) Max Verstappen, Red Bull
3) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
4) George Russell, Mercedes
5) Oscar Piastri, McLaren
6) Nico Hulkenberg, Haas
7) Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin
8) Yuki Tsunoda, RB
9) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
10) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari

Do you guys just want to hate anything and everything about Hamilton? And anything he says?

Read what he said and don’t just read the clickbait headline. He hasn’t said it’s racist. He’s saying that he’s contrasted F1 drivers to rappers, a group that’s majority black, and so he’s stereotyped a group which consists of one race primarily and so immediately anyone who paints a picture of comparison in their mind would likely be doing so with an F1 driver and a black rapper. Hence, a racial element.

There’s plenty of groups who swear. And @hobbers ypu could never prove rappers swear the most of any celebrity group. Comedians swear. Football players swear.

The point is he’s (probably unintentionally) picked a group that’s intrinsically linked to a race which is naive. And that’s Hamilton’s point, if you read what he said properly and not the clickbait headlines.

It’s not going to kill you if you occasionally agree with Hamilton. But maybe, I guess it might.

Yuki probably drops more f-bombs in a bad race than the rest of the drivers combined over the entire race.
 
Max being an absolute hero in this cursing farce. Dealing with it absolutely perfectly by giving nothing in official press conferences but taking time after to talk to the journos anyway.

Although its the correct stance it won't do him any favours pissing off the stewards in terms of them not letting potential bias influence them since they will be pissed off.

But fair fecks to him and to the other drivers also calling it a farce and taking the piss about it.

Not a chance he does that community service, really liked how Hamilton also said he shouldn't do it haha
