A good start for LeClerc tomorrow and he'll be hard to beat, very impressive.

Yep, sadly its too little too late for the Drivers and Constructors, but impressive strides made by Ferrari with this upgrade package, only Hamilton driving the wheels off of his Merc stopped a Ferrari 1-2.

Way off with my prediction. Going to be a great start to the race with that top 3.

AMKC · 21-09-2019 8:20pm

Super lap from Leclerc. Really hope he can keep up the good form and do so again next year and it could be a very exciting year if he does. At last someone to really challenge the dominance of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton as they have had it too easy up to these last few races.
Disappointed for Seb as I really thought he had it it was a great lab but then Leclerc just did it better again so he deserves the pole.

Its Leclercs race to win tomorrow as long as he does not mess up anywhere.

Yeah, within the rules. Everyone else followed them apparently, why shouldn't Ricardo/Renault?

AMKC · 21-09-2019 9:37pm

Oh for feck sake Renault. I wonder how much of an advantage power wise he had. I also wonder who/s idea it was. Maybe they thought they might just get away with it or it could have been a mistake either.

Come on seriously, every sport has rules. 19 out of 20 competitors followed the rules and weren't disqualified. Delivery of extra energy equates to extra horsepower.

Whatever it was, it didn't translate in time. The issue was detected on his second fastest lap in Q1 - so he went quicker when it was within limits.

Seems it was a very negligible overuse on a lap he made a mistake on.

A statement from Renault after the decision was issued gave their side of events, although the team confirmed that they didn’t plan to appeal the ruling: “Renault F1 Team acknowledges the decision from the FIA Stewards to disqualify Daniel Ricciardo from the qualifying session of the Singapore Grand Prix after he benefitted from an advantage measured at one-microsecond due to a kerb hit that caused his MGU-K to overrev on his slowest lap of Q1. The decision will therefore not be appealed.”

Again, everyone else managed to avoid it and keep within the rules. You can't blur the lines, it's black and white. The fact they aren't appealing would suggest that they understand that all too well and are taking it on the chin.

Charlie-Bravo · 22-09-2019 10:19am

I'm really looking forward to this race. I don't know whether that's because of what we got in the last two races.

Remember, it's 1pm for the race.

Darkglasses · 22-09-2019 11:46am

Totally agree with Daniel Ricciardo's take on it - the penalty is too harsh, would be sufficient to just delete the lap time (like when you exceed track limits)

deafroadrunner · 22-09-2019 12:46pm

Hoping for a Ferrari win but don't think they'll be able to manage to tires as good as Lewis.
Also predicting max off first corner for the absolute bants

PsychoPete · 22-09-2019 12:47pm

I love the street circuits ,it amazes me how fast these lads drive lap after lap and don't plow head first into a wall

flazio · 22-09-2019 12:56pm

I know it's a night race but no need to sing the national anthem like a flipping lullaby.

And with a guy beatboxing as well

Itssoeasy · 22-09-2019 1:21pm

Fecking completely forgot the race started at 1pm. Seems like the start was eventful.

Itssoeasy · 22-09-2019 1:22pm

Crofty doing his best michael fish impression.

deafroadrunner · 22-09-2019 1:25pm

Pretty tame start. Top 6 are sticking close enough. If vettel can close gap to Hamilton I can see it getting good. Danny got a good start. Up to 14th. Norris is up to 7th as aswell

flazio · 22-09-2019 1:26pm

Not really lining up to be a classic is it?

Harika · 22-09-2019 1:28pm

6 within 6 , can go either way. Especially with heavy undercut

PsychoPete · 22-09-2019 1:30pm

Hoping they turn up the pace fairly soon

Itssoeasy · 22-09-2019 1:31pm

Construction corner from brundle.

Think it's guna get very interesting soon enough. Not much separating Hamilton vettel max and bottas.

Itssoeasy · 22-09-2019 1:32pm

Danny Ricciardo is feeling it.

skipper_G · 22-09-2019 1:33pm

Ricciardo doing his best to put on a show. Nice move, then Kvyat got mugged by Stroll to boot

Joeface · 22-09-2019 1:34pm

Yeah so far it's the Danny Ric Show

PsychoPete · 22-09-2019 1:34pm

Honey badger finishing in the points would be a great result for him
