Singapore Grand Prix 2015, Marina Bay - Race 13/19

As for the track and the MRT, I am not convinced, ther are stations around the track, most beyond the northern confines.
I think only one piece of track is crossed by the subway, and that I think is very deep to it.

Thats is the track and one can see the various stations to the north, and only the passage to marina bay would undermine the track.

I think electrical failures are due to humidity and temperature, which are higher than anywhere else.

Most boring race of the year.

It has been quite boring, haven't seen the top 5 in screen for almost half an hour now, just the middle of the pack battles.

Without the safety car at this race there would be next to nothing to talk about, there's been a handful of legitimate overtakes and that's it.

I think if this wasn't a night race there wouldn't be much to keep people interested.
 
If they pit Maldonado 5 laps earlier, he's only 10 seconds behind Ericsson and he was 25 or so behind as he came out of the pits. In fact a bunch of people could have done very well if they pitted with 10-12 laps to go onto the supersofts as everyone else pitted quite early due to the safety car.
 
Why would they ask Max to let Sainz through? That's a little disappointing after the race he has had today.

I would be annoyed too.

Gratz to Vettel though! Pretty boring overall.
 
I don't remember Sainz letting Verstappen by do you? Unless they allowed Verstappen to pit first at some point because they saw more to be gained which may have cost Sainz more. I'm not sure that happened either though.

Well Torro Rosso aren't going to be saying that for no reason are they.
 
So if Ferrari have the same BHP as the Mercs how come then Leiws finished 25 secs ahead on the one track (Monza) that is full throttle the majority of the lap. I think it will be Merc 1-2 in Suzuka.
 
Brundle seemed to miss that Hamilton was first about 2 seconds behind Kvyat then about 2 seconds behind Kimi. Had there been no second safety car he'd have been doing 15 laps on the supersofts at the end and been around where Kimi was, 10 seconds or so back.

You can't gage the performance difference using Rosberg, he is literally no where near Hamilton's pace and the tire strategy was ruined by the second safety car as well. Think Verstappen/Sainz at Lotus/FI at the end, that is what Hamilton would have tried against the front three.

Hamilton was basically half a second faster than Rosberg throughout the past 3 races, so taking off 25-30 seconds from Rosberg and Merc don't look anywhere near as uncompetitive.

EDIT:- I don't think Hamilton would have been that close, or Kimi as close without the safety car. Hamilton thought he was on for a win when Vettel was going slow, first stint he burned out his tires then ended up being caught, second stint he did the opposite, saved then used them up before pitting. So Brundle saying he has no idea why then using Rosberg as a pace measure is ridiculous. Sky love doing that, taking biggest and most uncomparable numbers. Banging on about P1 as a 1.5second advantage in Monza when Ferrari were 3/10ths behind in qualifying, why would you keep referring to P1 gap?

haha, I didn't watch most of the interview but un-muted for Kimi, how many starts did you do on the simulator... err two, that's not what I heard. Kimi smiled, busted. That was actually quite brilliant, also quite telling for a guy who barely ever uses the simulator.
