Race result (provi), lot of cars with VSC infringements (last lap problem?), so stewards are looking in to that.
Checco almost played it perfect. Dropped off the front 2. Stayed out the dirty air. Let them use their tyres. Was coming back, fumbled the overtake then disaster.
Felt very on brand.

All VSC after the finish stuff a warning for those drivers. Happened earlier this year and there was no issue then, so therefore a warning now.
could not find them yesterday, but the standings;
- Can argue in different ways, but in the end (partly due to Sergio/Carlos) another weekend were Max has 7th (Lewis probs) fastest car and does not loose to much points to Charles and Lando. If he can keep that up might just make it to the end, ignoring future updates.
- Teams top weekend for McL, bit helped by Sergio&Carlos and would say WCC between McL and Ferrari.

RaceWeek: R18 Singapore Grand Prix
McL still the favourite imo, so
- can Ferrari be biggest challenger again, lot of short R/L corners and traction was always top
- RBR, last year drama on bumps, have they learned something to compete this year???
- Merc, after few wins struggled the last races, so wonder if they can be there or there about like last year
Behind them no clue, Fernando looked good in Baku but this is higher downforce, another Williams surprise?
Rain and thunderstorms in area, so we might get some wet sessions during the weekend
And track image is not updated with the 4th DRS zone:
"Between Turns 14 and 16, a straight - with the Turn 15 kink - replaced the former 'grandstand' section of the circuit, owing to construction work. This will now be the home of the fourth DRS zone."

FP1:
green track, so general low grip but would say Ferrari and McLaren looked ok, at least best. RBR bit more understeer and Mercedes drivers complaining the most, so they need a rethink about the set-up direction. RB looks more like car earlier year, when they were OK when there weren't a lot of high speed corners around a track.
F-Bombs are bad man, he is F%#@$cked and it will cost Max a free weekend

FP2
Continuation from FP1, Ferrari and McL have a car that wants to turn, specially low speed (90 degr.). Oscar all session of pace Lando, Carlos mostly that one single fast lap. RBR and Merc (Lewis more) drivers complaining aout no grip, work to do. And RB (quick lap), but also Williams (more longrun) with another good session
George not only one that brushed wall, but the hardest and frontal.

Him being dropped by RB end season feel that's a given.
Very strange session.
- first run on mediums all cars looked OK and difference between top 4 team less than 2 tenths. Charles just fastest, Max with error last run could have probably topped that time.
- Bold on the reds and for some they worked, McL/Merc and car looked really nicely balanced. For Ferrari, both driver all of a sudden "no grip", Max no front-end and understeer city.
Don't know if it was just tire preparation, but Fer/RBR have something to look at before Q. Right now looks like McL pole, but expect at least Ferrari to find an answer to their problem.
But right now Lando pole

Everyone 1 push lap?
Oscar lap was slow, lucky he is only one on board (Hulk old tires)
Lando was fastest through s1/2, one tenth up on Max

Landooh, like Max no improvements early on but good enough
Max, maximized
Merc ok, just missing something on s2
Huuulllkkeenbeeeeerg
Lolrari, what happened to Charles?

Congrats Max on the win
That won’t happen. But happy to see he managed a P2 in quali. Much better than expected before the weekend. Hopefully they can keep it together tomorrow. Once again no Checo in the front to offer assistance is a letdown though.
Q-session (provi)
Charles was marginal of in turn two (understeer 1). RBR still driving around some curbs (last slow for example), so they do need a fix for next year.

wonder what penalty the FIA stewards are going to give Max for having no interest in a FIA pres conference :lol:

This surely is the day that Lando, from the clean side of grid, manages to keep his position for a lap....surely
Race probably slow first part to kep filed close, unless McL thinks they have so much more pace and push hard early on. 100% SC record, might mess up someones race or someone very happy.

He did it
For the Race was hoping for Lewis magic, but now sleep mode? Lucky there are few out of position
