Red Bull were nowhere here last year, will it be the same again this year?

flazio · 16-09-2024 09:39PM

Is it me or is something missing from sector 3 on that map?

Didn't they change the layout last year due to some big infrastructure development

Frank Bullitt · 16-09-2024 11:35PM

Yup it was much faster last year as a result.

Andrew76 · 17-09-2024 10:59AM

Going to be another race to forget for Max I fear. But there's usually some decent excitement for a track that's not too easy to overtake on, hopefully anyway as we've to wait a bloody month until the next one! Christ.

Brian CivilEng · 17-09-2024 11:06AM

Max to win by 20 seconds; all Red Bull development this year was targeted towards this race?

Seriously though, it is a must-win for Lando to stay in contention and not have momentum move towards Piastri. Team orders only work if both McLarens are running together, and I'd expect LeClerc to be right up there

PsychoPete · 17-09-2024 05:17PM

They added another drs zone from turn 14 to turn 16

Wanderer78 · 18-09-2024 09:48AM

another sketchy weekend for rb id imagine, which means excitement for fans, mclarens should be strong again….

They'll be even further back this year you'd have to assume considering their form has dropped off a cliff. I still don't understand how they've gone backwards so quickly.

Red Bull "We have to ditch special liveries to save weight. "

The Mercedes one looks very like the Aston Martins with that paint.

Ve interesting to see hiw the works out at thd weekend. I can see a few of the Sky commentators mixing them and the AMs up lol.

Frank Bullitt · 19-09-2024 09:24PM

I think we are on race 6 now with no safety car, if there isn't one at this race I think that is a new record.

We usually get them around here, so it would be surprising if we got nothing.

It's 8 actually, Singapore has a 100% record of safety cars so one of the streaks has got to go

Andrew76 · 20-09-2024 10:13AM

Brundle is back this weekend thankfully. But to counter that good news, Lazenby is also back…

Joeface · 20-09-2024 10:51AM

Team Upgrades for this weekend , None for Mercedes , HAAS or Stake Sauber

I think there’s rain forecast also which should add to that.

Busi_Girl08 · 20-09-2024 12:05PM

Max has been summoned to the stewards for dropping an f-bomb in yesterday's press conference.

The FIA said he has to "complete some work of public interest"

ShamoBuc · 21-09-2024 10:37AM

Lionel the lizard would want to get off the road sharpish.

ShamoBuc · 21-09-2024 10:40AM

Red flag till they get rid of the lizard.... not a common phrase in F1

It was a bit harsh on Niki Lauda back in the day.

So is David Crock. I'd almost take another race in a hellhole that gets away with ethnic cleansing if it meant another weekend without him.

Andrew76 · 21-09-2024 11:34AM

Lando in a league of his own in FP3. Hopefully the others can get closer during the night time quality session.

ShamoBuc · 21-09-2024 11:37AM

Lando is streets ahead but quali could well be different under lights. I hope he doesn't get the front row to make the race more interesting, but he probably will.
