Singapore Grand Prix 2012, Marina Bay - Race 14/20

What? I have said nothing anti-Lewis, he hit the wall on his 2nd run, even Brundle said McLaren would be worried about it.

So what was anti-Lewis?

Because you didn't say it's great for the championship to close the gap, like they would feel the same way around for the good of the 'show'



Awesome hamilton lap, I'm still convinced he will win the title. Imagine where he would be without all the **** ups this year. Should be a dull race for the victory.

hope Alonso or Maldonado wins the race

but I think Vettle will win

That McLaren car has won the last 3 races and the last 4 poles. They do have the best car in F1.

Given this, I can't see Vettel beating Hamilton UNLESS there are some incidents.

Kind of think that should not be allowed. If you damage the tyre it is your fault.

So force them to start on in-safe/damaged tyres or make them start from the back of the pits?

I think Seb has a good race car under him, as does Lewis, but Seb will need to pass Pastor very quickly or Lewis will be gone.

I can see Seb and Maldonado making contact into T1 and causing chaos.

This WDC is becoming more and more possible for Ham

 

[ZG002]

Well done Lewis, should be a good race tomorrow. On a side note, Glocks throttle stuck open? Did we ever find out the cause of Marias crash in testing?

 

[Flibster]

Here we go... I knew it was there somewhere.

Sporting Regulations
25.4e
At the start of the race each car which took part in Q3 must be fitted with the tyres with which the driver set his grid time. This will only be necessary if dry‐weather tyres were used to set the grid time and if dry‐weather are used at the start of the race.

Any such tyres damaged during Q3 will be inspected by the FIA technical delegate who will decide, at his absolute discretion, whether any may be replaced and, if so, which tyres they should be replaced with.

A penalty under Article 16.3(b) will be imposed on any driver whose car is not fitted with the tyres with which he set his grid time (except if damaged tyres have been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate).

Driver error.

great quali, 1st for hammy and alonso far enough back

mclaren is quick in hammys hands.

hamilton looks very focused on his goal and is getting on with it.

half a second clear is impressive.



can people stop saying "drs fully open" what else is it going to be when they use it??

 

[deuse]

Well done to Lewis..what an awesome lap. I just hope pasta keeps his head for once.

Lewis for the win

 

[tummelv]

Just realsied how good a lap Di Resta did.........only 0.025 behind Alonso.

Jammed if it's on MS car?

 

[FrankJH]

They have given Hamilton the best car (0.9s faster than the Ferrari).

In quali trim yes

Has little baring on how both cars will perform at the beginning of tomorrow's race however

Only one stop tomorrow or two? (if its one , less chance of McLaren ****** up the stop lol)

Given 100% certainly of a safety car, it also depends on when this happens and who is right behind LH at the time (now I say this, it will be the first race in Singapore without a sc period lol)

 

[Mr Men]

Ted seems to think 3 stops for most and maybe 2 at a push.

 

[Duke]

Just realsied how good a lap Di Resta did.........only 0.025 behind Alonso.

Yep he has looked good all weekend, along with his team mate. Force India have the sort of pace now that was expected of them at the beginning of the season imo.

Loldonardo front row? Lewis' title dreams have just vapourised into thin air.. Maldo has the worst set of 'racing goggles' I've ever seen, he makes Fat John look like he's got eyes in the back of his head!!

Still, it's shaping up to be a good race, I was pretty 'sure' that Red Bull had this one nailed, and Vettel was looking electric right up until Q3, which is really odd, he defo should have got second, must have over driven it or had a slight car issue..

Roll on tomorrow!

 

[KautoStar]

I just hope Maldo does not rob us of what is looking a great race. This is going to be some end to the championship. Just a shame Kimi couldn't have got up in top 10.

 

[ZG002]

Well I'm hoping he is extra careful on timing at the starts after his jump start earlier in the year, Meaning he is a little slow off the line and Lewis gets into the first corner alone.

I can dream can't I?
