Poll: Official 2024 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread - Marina Bay Street Circuit - Race 18/24

Norris could do with some wins and Max not scoring.

I do like Singapore. I like that it's physically demanding on the drivers. It one of the circuits that feels to me like they've truly earned their place on the podium when you see them in the cool down room.

There were a lot of comments about Piastri doing a good job to keep it together under pressure from Leclerc last weekend and hopefully this is another track that will push for a similar performance from whoever gets in front. Especially with the the close running of the current contenders.

Pretty much same old F1

A team finds a development which no/few others have, and those that don’t have it call for it to be banned.

Yep - McLarens engineers are better than yours.
No need to cry about it

The engineers are only better when it's teams people like. When it isn't, they're all evil cheats.

I'd love to see what this sport would be if every good development wasn't banned, or silently removed from use.

It just seems that RBR have complained about one competitor or another in EVERY race they've not take the top spot, so pretty much every race since the brake bias "cheat" was removed.

Bar lap 1 turn 1 where only 2 places swapped, their wasn't a single overtake in F1 Academy that I saw. Not the greatest race

Another win for Brit Abby Pulling though.

That lizard moved twice in the braking zone!

And it never left Max any space into turn 3!

Edit: dirty great lizard invaded track in free practice 3 for context

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

almost had the speed to defend the overtake by the marshal

 

[Bubo]

Btw do the marshalls have a flag for reptiles on track?

 

[SpartaP]

That lizard wasn't hanging around. Quicker lap than Logans lap last year.

They used the slippery surface flag before the red flag, I wouldn't want to see how slippery it was either

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

i think it's a white flag with scales

Piastri or Leclerc for the win then.

 

[cuke2u]

Last win was 2018.

Doesn't matter, the fact that Singapore is their bogey track isn't totally accurate. Lewis finished 3rd last year as well..

 

[chrismscotland]

I keep hearing Rosberg in particular mention the track layout being different... I thought they took away the stupid little stadium part near the end last year?
My understanding was there is/was construction on-going which meant it couldn't be used anyway

 

[SpartaP]

Mclaren's livery looking good at this GP

 

[el_dazza]

Ferrari not happy at all with their pace here!

 

[chrismscotland]

Going to be hard for anyone to keep Norris off pole
Perez seems to have reverted to form

 

[Mr Jack]

 

[Feek]

Well played Abs.

 

[Quartz]

Colapinto seems to be coming along nicely.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Sounds like it's the end for Danny Ric after this race and Lawson is coming in for the finish of the season.

He wasn't worth bringing back in the first place to be honest, guess it was a hail Mary in the hope he found some form and gave Checo something to think about.
