Poll: Singapore Grand Prix 2022, Marina Bay Street Circuit - Race 17

If he's in any doubt he shouldn't even do that. I get that he wants to get back in the car ASAP, but it seems he's not ready. Especially for what's just about the most demanding race for the drivers physically due to the heat, humidity and the fact that the circuit is so slow and so long that the race normally lasts about 1 3/4 hours.

Yeah, I think the FIA needs to be more serious about drivers getting in the car when injured and ill. One it's crap for the audience when a driver is ill or injured and drives, it also takes away opportunities from reserve drivers. Often they leave it until the last minute, FP3, or even qualy, which means when they do sit it out, either the replacement had no time, or can't race because they didn't take part in qualy.

Anything more than a common cold or minor injury and they should be forced to sit out, no exceptions.

 

[Mr Jack]

They do need to be medically passed to race. I don't recall any occasion that this has gone badly.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Mercedes might be a bit good here.

Results in fp1 are not a reflection of where the cars will qualify. Different fuel levels and engine modes are being used and the conditions are nowhere near where they'll be in qualifying...

 

[Yaayuh!]

Charles Leclerc having more time sat in the pits with car issues. Doesn't bode well.

I missed the part where they explained the laser scanner. Who decided this was required? The FIA or the team?
Bit grim to miss this much of practice for laser scanning.

Edit: "Sound FX Lap - Audio up"
I never really get this. These cars still sound rubbish.

 

[~Mike~]

Odd place to catch fire

 

[cuke2u]

From the fuel breather they install when coming into the garage apparently. Highly unusual though..

Doesnt matter. Lewis' race will get **** up by a safety car. Guaranteed.

 

[Yaayuh!]

It’s a bit wet!

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Looking forward to this.

The look on the AM mechanic’s face as he realises he’s the only one prepared for such an event and the AT mechanics have all legged it.

”***** sake boys, you had ONE job…”

Yeah, good on the AM guy. He must’ve muttered “The **** are you guys doing?” Lol.

Looking forward to this.

Crofty talking for an hour

Lovely, always look forward to Crofty...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Crofty saying "come on, get out there", why the hell would they?

I'd say I'd like to see some.rain for this race but they'd immediately red flag it, then run the remainder of the race behind the safety car hours later.

 

[DanielSon]

why the hell do we allways have 30 mins of chating /no running with no adds, then the action starts and they throw in 3 mins of adds.

grrr

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Would be nice to see all the top 3 mess this up in Q1.
A move to slicks and massive upsets would be good.
