2014 Formula One World Championship - Round 14 Singapore Grand Prix

[Macca81]

That was the worst 'exciting' battle for 2nd ever

Didn't really work out for those going long on the softs at the end there. Lewis far too good obviously.

yeah even with DRS there wasnt much action

There is the hard cliff like Bottas found there, and the 'soft' point where you are lapping slow enough to mean that not changing is costing you. The sort of soft cliff idea is very specific to what is happening at any one time mind you.

Yer, I'm more talking about those times when teams pit with say 10-15 laps to go, while others milk their 2nd set and finish ahead of them- like ADR has, and Kimi etc.. That soft cliff you mentioned was never going to affect Lewis, worst case he was just past the pits- it's still only going to cost him a second at worst.. But when you're still pulling out 2-3 second quicker laps, why worry so much?

Dodging bullets like a boss.

The only bet that came through for me was the Safety car hahahaha

"Lights to flag victory for Lewis Hamilton"

Do you know what "lights to flag" means Rusty?

They've obviously had people complaining. Clear justification talk.

Eddie Jordan, straight from the set of Mrs Brown's Boys

 

[Temploar]

Wow what is with this guy?

 

[Smeg Head]

Eddie Jordan straight onto Nando not giving back the place to Riccardo.

 

[Mister B]

Sad thing is there is more sense coming out of the mouth of this Eddie than another I know.

Well, just watched the race. Not always a classic but Hamilton, aside from some quite-justified concerns about getting in and out of the pits at the end without losing too many places, was composed throughout and deserved the win. Feel for Bottas - to lose out on any points at all must have been gutting.

Vergne showed some good tyre management and pace at the end and did a good job of putting himself in the shop window.

Good effort by Daniel under the circumstances.

Daniel Ricciardo says he was lucky to finish the Singapore Grand Prix after suffering from power issues for the majority of the race at the Marina Bay circuit.

The Western Australian was hamstrung by an intermittent battery malfunction from the start of the grand prix which later threatened to end his race altogether.

McLaren having a sook about messages to Dan.

McLaren having a sook about messages to Dan.

Still waiting for the radio transcripts to show up to see if there are any merits in their claims. I did find a few of those messages to Dan like "Don't forget to stay off the curbs, to help with the car problem" did sound a little suss (every message ended with "to help your car problem"), but without seeing the whole transcripts we can't really comment on it.

Hopefully they come online soon, they are not up on the usual places yet

Team orders have been around forever. With these new rules, they are the first to take them to the edge.
