so why did red bull abort the lap previous if they knew how tight on fuel (presuming that's the case) they would be

I think that was Max because he ****ed up too many times.

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

I think that was Max because he *ed up too many times.

I'd like to see the mini sector times he would've improved for sure if he completed that previous lap.

 

[DamoESP]

I think that was Max because he *ed up too many times.

Pretty sure when he aborted on the previous lap he was still 7 tenths up on LECs time

i'd think he would still be higher than 8th. just a strange ending

I wonder if there was some confusing radio messages on that previous lap too.

 

[happy_eagle]

And what's the penalty for going faster?

Speeding under the safety car would be a grid drop for sure

Looking forward to some tropical thunderstorms and misplaced Ferrari wet tyres

 

[darth_timon]

I reckon Max decided he wanted a challenge for the race, and wanted to give everyone else half a chance.

 

[Magma]

wonder how close the other cars that stayed out the whole session too got with their fuel

 

[largebus]

In all seriousness if the race stays dry a Verstappen win would be more impressive than winning from 14th at Spa

It annoys me seeing STR advance through these sessions. He's garbage backed by his rich papa.

I'm not a fan of him but as far as the paid drivers go stroll is by far the most talented.

He's got credentials from karting days.

He raced and was competitive against leclerc/russell/albon etc. in f3.

Definetely not as good. But I do think stroll wouldn't made his way to f1 even without daddy's money. Probably wouldn't have lasted this long though...

Lewis summoned for having a nose ring in. Finally they are doing what they said in regards to jewelry.

Mick has been fined for going 0.1km/h over the speed limit in the pit lane.

Race is 21 local time

 

[largebus]

Race is 21 local time

That's the forecast everyday in Singapore. Storm cells tend to be very small and unpredictable, won't know until the race if they actually hit the track.

The race is at 20:00 local time.

No doubt. But the point there being is at this stage DR may as well light it up and show people what he has got and cop the penalty rather than be the nice guy who finishes down the bottom anyway.

I'm still sceptical as to whether he was actually effected. He came through just after Vettel stopped but did the flags actually impact him? Either way, another shite quali from the has been.

He was 3 tenths off Norris without the car upgrades on a circuit that McLaren is losing 1.3 seconds to Ferrari in slow corners which isn't that bad, if he found those 3 tenths norris would have been the 1 out in q1.

The car has turned his strength into a weakness it's genuinely garbage in the area that made Daniel a fast race driver, mclaren designed a car with the same issues last year its competitive on high speed tracks but then Mercedes is missing the horsepower this year with the bio fuel added in.

I constantly hear about how the data shows Norris brakes later than Daniel.
And yet in Daniel’s heyday he was known as the king of the late brakers.
This shows just how much the car has gone away from his driving style. Absolutely no confidence in its ability to turn if he does go the bold move he was so famous for.

 

[gaskin]

Daniel did say post-quali that they had made a lot of changes to the car from Friday that worked and felt okay in the wet of FP3 but they didn't work in the changing conditions of Q1. He said if it had have been full wet or full dry he would have been able to get more performance out of the car.

It is strange as it is the opposite of what Lando said. He reckons if it had have been full wet or dry then he wouldn't have had as much pace as he did but that could just be typical Lando trying to downplay everything.

Or typical Dan talking about hypotheticals. Seen that a few times this year.

 

[Not Important]

Dan should go to Williams. Consistently one of the fastest cars on track, I reckon he could get it into the points on a regular basis.

dan won't have the opportunity 2 go anywhere other than as a reserve driver unfortunately it seems.

You do realise that speeding under yellow flags is a very dangerous thing to do. It's not just some useless rule that we can ignore from time to time when convenient. It's what killed Jules Bianchi
