My god I thought the Euros were going to choke on that win, hostile environment nearly did them in.

I just want to say how appalling it was to watch my fellow countrymen's disgusting behavior.

There is zero room for that in the sport.

Unfortunately, it has been made acceptable to act in this manner in every facet of life from the trash in the white house and those who support that garbage.

Disgusted doesn't even begin to describe my feelings on it.

Congratulations to the Europeans on a well deserved win

Such a riveting final day - I pulled an all nighter watching it because I couldnt tear myself away. Just such a shame the crowd crossed the line.

Its a rubbish track, and generally a boring race.

The night time thing is the only.redeemimg feature.

I agree. It was a boring race. Maybe the straights are too long, but that's owing to Singapore's layout. As long as one drives sensibly, one won't be overtaken. Singapore is a beautiful city.

A few years ago, we visited Monaco. Not for the race, but you couldn't admire how tight the circuit is there. It was hard enough for normal vehicles. let alone F1 racers.

Too long, or not long enough? The lack of overtaking even with DRS suggests that they're not long enough to allow the overtaking driver to get alongside (let alone overtake) before they reach the next corner.

Probably correct. I liked the visual appearance of the circuit and the night race. The race itself was so predictable as long as the vehicles held up.
I would have liked to be a fly on Piastri's wall after Norris edged in front of him early on. McLaren would have soundproofed the room.

Piastri was right to be ropeable. Norris thought he was driving a dodgem car, first slamming into Verstappen, then careering (out of control) into Piastri, almost putting Piastri into the wall in the process.

Norris should have been pinged for causing a collision, for his hit on Verstappen - but they obviously give extra leeway for incidents in the first few corners of the race.
