Poll: Official 2025 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread - Marina Bay Circuit - Race 18/24

[Vinno]

Second race in a row where we watch a McLaren sat up the gearbox of a Red Bull for 50 laps. How exciiting.

 

[Slogan]

Needed a safety car about halfway through. Boring race.

 

[cuke2u]

Great race, well done Mclaren, Constructors two years in a row...

 

[Mesai]

Glad I got to see random people in the crowd instead of the Ferrari and Alonso situation.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - incident involving Hamilton noted - track limits.

May be another 5 second penalty, or possibly a 10 second. He could end up behind Bearman in P10

 

[cuke2u]

Be interesting to see what exact path he took on that last lap cos I presume if he's cut anywhere Aston will be putting a complaint in!

Could be a 5 sec penalty for Lewis, under investigation by the stewards..

 

[uscool]

Fireworks looked nice

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - Incident involving Hamilton will be investigated after the race - track limits

 

[utajoker]

Hamilton did 2.5-3 laps with no brakes

 

[Darkpilgrim]

Fireworks where the best bit of this grand prix.

 

[Flibster]

Could be a 5 sec penalty for Lewis, under investigation by the stewards..

Noted twice.

Could be 2x5s penalties or 1x5s and 1x10s.

Or, they may talk to Hamilton and decide he had no option and let him off as the brakes had failed. In which case, they may fine Ferrari for allowing a car to continue in an unsafe condition.

Alonso DOTD - well deserved

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Verstappen looks like he’s put a shift in.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Russell 'only' having 5 wins seems low for a driver of his ability but I guess he has never really had top regular race winning machinery.

Some of the drivers look proper

 

[sparkymark75]

Verstappen looks like he’s put a shift in.

I wouldn't know, all I keep seeing are the fireworks!

 

[Trusty]

Congrats Mclaren, now lets see the gloves come off between the drivers.

 

[Flibster]

Zak Brown - They race clean.

Piastri raises an eyebrow.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

It was boring for the result, but I'm really glad to see a Russell.

 

[mjt]

Shame Hamilton's brakes failed, as he was on track to overtake Kimi. Not sure what the Director was smoking as we missed all 2 bits of action.

 

[Flibster]

Alonso's post race radio is..... interesting...

Alonso - ****ing hell man. I cannot believe it.

Pit - Yeah, he knew it.

Alonso - I cannot ****ing believe it. I cannot ****ing believe it! I mean I cannot ****ing believe it. I cannot ****ing believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes? Or he should...

Pit - No, no. We are looking into it, we agree. We're checking track limits as well. We see some margin there. Run switch warmup mate, run switch warmup. That is P8 anyway, so good recovery.

Alonso - It should be ****ing P7 and you cannot drive.

Pit - It may well be

Alonso - Think you're alone on track. I mean, no respect the red flag yesterday, today, free track for them. Maybe too much.

Pit - Run switch warmup. Run switch warmup and MFP Blue Override position 12. MFP Blue Override position 12

Pit - Hamilton has over strikes over four of track limits anyway. Dunno it's the brake issues, but just... for now.

Alonso - Yeah. 5 second minimum.

Pit - Yeah. So at least we did our best there. P8. Sorry we made it difficult for you.

Alonso - For me you cannot drive when the car isn't safe you know. Sometimes they try to disqualify me for no mirror and no he have no brakes and everything is fine? I doubt it.

Pit - His last 2 laps were 2:09 and 1:47


It's strange he's having a go at Hamilton. He's not exactly squeaky clean. He ended up in the hospital instead of on the podium (Brazil 2003) after ignoring double waved yellows and driving at full speed into a tyre in the middle of the track. Oh, and there's always having a teammate deliberately crash for him...
