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

Was Lewis' car just setup badly? Hope it works out better in the race for him

So all drivers now know what to do when the need to hold a driver up I guess.

 

[Reuben klang]

anyone think once it kicks off RB, we’ll max, will just storm it again?

I’m thinking when it comes to the crunch here it’ll be him that’s in the lead.

The way the track time developed from early Q1 to the end of Q1 is like nothing I’ve seen before, in 36 years of watching F1. [on a dry tack]

That was an interesting qualifying and looks like we may have an exciting race today.

 

[Feek]

I’m looking forward to the race this afternoon. I genuinely expected RB to win every race this year and while I’m not a fan of them, I think that would be an incredible thing for any team to do.

Dude needs to be out of the sport.

Wonder how much of that is to protect the budget cap

How does that help the budget?

Looking forward to seeing how this race goes. I'm definitely not counting Max out of this race. Even with their struggles, the race trim of that car is so good, that he's got to be in with a chance.

He claims that he made big changes before qualy that didn't work out. He seems to be doing that a lot though so maybe in future he should just....not?!

So he's not crashing the budget into another wall.

If he can keep with the pace all it takes is a safety car or red flag.
I honestly believe he's going to be on that podium, in fact bar anything crazy he can still easily win the thing.

It seems to be influenced by tyres so they might do better in the race, but the setup is probably not optimal.

I disagree. He's no champion but he's a decent mid-field driver. This year he's regularly finished in the top ten. Ditto 2020. In 2021 & 2022 he usually finished about half-way down the field.

But when Alonso is putting it on the podium so many times then that's largely down to the driver. He needs to go.

but he is in one of the better cars ? he is way way behind Alonso we all know why he has the seat in the car

As I said, Stroll's no champion, but that also applies to most of the rest of the field.
