I was going to write an elaborate preview, but honestly this picture says more than I ever could.

Cash flow issues for Lotus. Their hospitality tent is non-existent and apparently that's the least of their problems equipment, or lack thereof, wise.

I've never seen anyone ever look less interested in anything.

Hang on it's Kimi.......have you ever seen him look interested in anything ?

Not even half interested ....

No announcements from JB regarding his future.

Ted's conspiracy theory is that he doesn't want to embarrass Honda by announcing he's sick of them at their home GP.

There a possibility of rain during FP1 and FP2, with the weather clearing for the weekend. Sunday's forecast is looking to be the best of the 3 days. The variable weather could make tyre decisions a little more interesting. The tyre choice is the same as last year (medium/hard) due to the high speed corners.

It's more than a possibility,it's soaking wet

Pretty much killed FP1

 

[Sven]

and wet to start FP2 - they're saying there's a 60% change of more rain during the session. It's going to be a busy FP3 tomorrow....

inters though to start the session, compared to full wets for most of FP1

Hard to get a proper read on pace with the conditions today, but the Red Bulls matching the Mercedes in P2
Hopefully we can get another competitive race rather than a return to the same old

I suspect if the track dries off, the Mercs will disappear into the sunset. If it's wet... Well, that's the variable that could produce close racing. That said, the Mercs still dominated last year in the wet.

Tend to think this may be the case. I still do find it strange that Mercedes were so far off the pace in Singapore given their dominance at every other track. I get that power at Singapore is over-rated, but Mercedes still have a pretty good Aero setup

Their advantage has been significantly lessened since the new tyre pressure regulations came in.

JB having to tell McLaren off for not setting up the right DRS settings. Who can blame him for having had enough.

 

[ManWithNoName]

And now his car's broken down.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Knight him

 

[ManWithNoName]

Holy shit. HUGE crash for Kvyat.

 

[NSWCROW]

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

 

[juice t]

What an unusual place to have a crash that big

 

[ManWithNoName]

Half the ****ing car's gone

 

[juice t]

Well that was a dumb error

 

[ManWithNoName]

Absolute driver error. Got on the grass. Lost control, slammed into the barrier, rolled, two tyres came off and the car's just trashed.
