Ah but the rains coming...... in Singapore

Not sure you can even say he's holding anyone up; Norris 2.3 seconds off not exactly challenging

True. Yuki’s might be wondering why his mirrors are full of papaya.

More chance of Taylor Swift turning up at my house naked than the rain hitting here.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Interested to see where Sainz ends up. It's all falling away for Lawson though.

Never stop dreaming!

Should have just re-run qualifying highlights instead of this race...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

There really needs to be more variety in the tyres. A medium that can do so much of the race is pointless.

 

[el_dazza]

All I need is a nice wet

Track

 

[Mad_Jay]

In before the Stroll caused safety car and the top 3 all get a cheap pit stop and the order remains the same for the rest of the race.

No really Russell?

The Pirelli hard tyres on a low wear track will last? Who woulda thunked it?

 

[imtoooldforthis]

whats the point in hards when the mediums can go this long lol

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc may be stuck behind Lawson, but both are still faster than Norris.

 

[booyaka]

you know when the tv director is following a battle for 8th and 9th that it's a boring race

They moved a grade softer this year didn't they? There was probably a little uncertainty on the longevity of the C4 compound

Yeah I think the 3x Compounds for here are actually the 3 "softest" in the range

 

[Flibster]

Surprised they haven't stuck out the double yellowes or VSC for the chunk of tree that's fallen onto the side of the track.

Really shows the difference between the drivers giving it 100%, and the race day "granny's Sunday drive%".
Yesterday looked like a number of them would go off at any moment. Today it's just a drive to the shops.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Verstappen is just building to a full pit stop’s worth of gap ahead of Russell at this point.

I guess you can thank the rules for that, gotta make all those power unit components last. As soon as lap 1 is over it's lift and coast!
