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

[Kenai]

Great driving from Sainz at the end there, well deserved win for him. Well orchestrated defence with Norris.

Russell... Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Max picking up a solid 5th from a garbage weekend too, though no doubt he'll not be happy

 

[uscool]

Needed Lewis behind Norris, Russell cracked from Lewis pressure, great race would say the best of the season

 

[.:MBK:.]

Well played Sainz, had to work hard for that

 

[Feek]

Sainz slowing down on purpose? Strange decision

Ten laps from the end, I said to Mrs. Feek that Carlos should slow down to keep Lando in DRS range which would keep the Mercs behind.

I was right!

 

[mattx4]

lewis was faster than Russell, wrong merc chasing.

Agree, lewis was 5 seconds behind because of the stacked pitstop. If they left George in 2nd they would have had a better result

 

[Stu999]

That’s a snazzy parking spot.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Oh dear, cracking end to the race though, great stuff seeing 4 cars all following that closely behind battling for the win. Hamilton had notably superior pace in the final stint and probably would have had a better chance of the win but can't expect Merc to tell Russell to get out of the way when he's in that position.

 

[Journey]

Possibly the best 20 laps of the year so far?

Yeah, solid potential for great entertainment, even though there was only one other driver actually over taken.

I was right!

Genius decision in hindsight. Well deserved win

 

[utajoker]

Verstappen was massively quick at the end there, some comeback to 5th to be fair after where he was

Move forward 6 places from midfield in a car that's been 1 second a lap faster all season?

 

[Flibster]

Norris radio - Ahh haha! Let's go! Aaah **** I hit the wall

Pit - Ok, just bring it back it back carefully. Bring it back carefully. I don't know... ******* P2

 

[Tejstar]

Really strong run from Max at the end, was that all to do with the Medium tyres? Suzaka will probably back to usual RB dominance - but this race shows how exciting it could be without it.

 

[Scam]

For me that’s the difference between a really good driver and a truly world class driver.

I do like George but I’m inclined to agree. Shame. Had they been swapped I’m sure Lewis would have gotten past.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton radio - Ooof. Mega job boys. Mega job. Had such good pace at the end there.

Pit - Yeah, looked super strong.

Hamilton - Yeah, great work by everyone.

 

[Tejstar]

Solid 8/10 race for me - highest I've scored a race this season.

Other teams needing to catch up, I expect some have basically given up on their '23 car now anyway and focusing on '24 now

Move forward 6 places from midfield in a car that's been 1 second a lap faster all season?

After their stops he was a lot further back than 11th wasn't he?

 

[chrismscotland]

Move forward 6 places from midfield in a car that's been 1 second a lap faster all season?

Don't be obtuse - you know exactly what I mean - he was practically last after he pitted.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Move forward 6 places from midfield in a car that's been 1 second a lap faster all season?

Was it 1 second a lap at this race?

 

[Flibster]

Norris - Awesome job boys, and girls. Thank you so much. Was a tough one. Amazing result, I love you all so much.
