Poll: Official 2023 Singapore Grand Prix Thread - Marina Bay Street Circuit - Round 16

[sparkymark75]

As shown in the replay, car fully under control and no desire to attempt to make the corner. May aswell always do it and then give back any advantage. Can't possibly lose out then. Also known as cheating.

So you’re admitting MV is a serial cheater then as that’s what he does? Late brakes into the corner and relies on the other driver veering off to avoid a collision.

 

[Tigget]

If he attempted to make the corner, he wouldn't have been in the place he was... A couple of car lengths back, instead.

What actually happened to Tsunoda? Did he get tapped by someone?

Caught Perez’s front wing and got a puncture.

I thought I heard complaints of Perez, but wasn't sure I was just mis-hearing angry Yuki.

 

[Tigget]

I don’t think Lewis was cheating. Yes he carried a lot of speed in and brakes late but he didn’t lock up etc, he just took avoiding action. Plus places given back now, so all ok. Racing incident sorted out relatively quickly.

What are you even on about?

 

[Ranger]

Taking bets on what lap everyone realises Max is still going to win ?

Lap 52

Haha no you were right! Was messy driving by both, they tangled tyre to tyre and yuki got bounced around into multiple components on Perez’s car.

Gasly time 1:41.829 deleted - track limits turn 7 lap 6

 

[Flibster]

Sainz radio - I could go forever at this pace.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

What's this? Ferrari actually thinking about winning the race for once!?

 

[Scam]

Hmmmm... I think he'd have been able to make the turn if Russell wasn't inside him, I think he was past Norris fairly

Yeah he was past Norris fairly but taking a lot of speed through. Looks like he would have just made the corner if Russell wasn’t there. Slamming on the brakes to stop Russell hitting him was never going to happen.

Accusations of cheating from RB fans are always good for a laugh, though.

Disappointed how easily Kmag let Max through earlier. Thought he’d be game for a fight.

Edit: Max is only 10secs off the lead. He’s still gonna win this somehow I think. That quali yesterday is clearly the only bad luck RB will get this year.

What lap do we think Ferrari will get the magic 8 ball out and throw it away?

 

[Ranger]

Agreed. Not sure why Hamilton is being accused of cheating.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Seems like Leclerc isn't feeling the 3 seconds message.

 

[Flibster]

What lap do we think Ferrari will get the magic 8 ball out and throw it away?

Couple of laps ago when they told Leclerc to slow down

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - Max I will say it again. There is no merit at this stage of being within 1 second of Ocon. Sainz still doing 40.3's We've been here before, been hurt before. You may not think you're pushing Max, but the effective V ratio is very low.

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc sticks in the fastest lap. 1:39.613

 

[dansew123]

This is a real spectacle so far isn’t it

 

[booyaka]

Still ridiculous in this age of "peak technology in F1" - drivers are being told to slow down....

 

[Kenai]

Forgot Leclerc was on soft tyres, no wonder he's not entirely keen on dropping back from Sainz, he was probably hoping to get ahead and pull away a bit
