The 'where is Manny' Singapore GP chat and predictions

I agree , Racing incident for me .

 

watching the time intervals, danny catching Hamilton every click of the clock.

 

shame we lost who we did, but I'm enjoying the race, lots of battles.

 

Stroll in the points again, had a fairly innocuous start to the season but finishing in the points in Canada seemed to give him the confidence to compete. He's been good in the wet, which I always think is the difference between the good and the great.

 

Really don't like Max's words there.

 

It's no surprise though, he's always quick to criticize everyone else.

 

I wonder if this will finish under the red flag ? 20 minutes to go , and they have not even got to KM's car .

Scratch that . Just realised it I had it on pause while I made a drink

 

That's fine, but dangerous to do that with someone alongside. It's asking for trouble.

 

I'll admit I'm a massive fan of Hamilton but he's really driving is some of the best of his career imo.

I've noticed of late that some people I know who hate him as a person are finally turning because of his recent showings...

 

I agree pretty much everyone does it, its no real excuse though and ultimately has cost him dear.

 

I really really rate him as a driver , but I think he's an utter twat as a person , but no way do I hate him .

 

Fair enough. For a long time many people on forums and my fellow f1 friends couldn't see past that no matter what and I've seen a change this year... Perfect example is him getting the official DOTD award recently.

 

Dotd ?

He is an amazing talent , but not my cup of tea as a personality

 

Red Bull have been really disappointing today. Ricciardo has been completely in Lewis's pocket all race.

 

He is polarising that's for sure!

Driver of the day = DOTD Vote after the race which is basically a popularity contest.

 

So titles basically over for this year. Have to say Hamilton deserves it more.

I think Ferrari would be wise to get Verstappen or Ricciardo in for 2019. Right now i rate them higher than Seb.

 

LOL, even the FIA computer system couldn't believe Palmer was 6th

 

So..... Palmer. Discuss

 

Palmer did well, but Hulk would have got 4th, so lets not lose our minds over it.

The Renault is quietly becoming a good car.

 

I work out it's a net 11th. 6th + the 4 at the start & hulk. But still, he got points and seemed to lose all his time relative to Hulk during the pit-stop window, I think he was 2nd last to change, before that he was about 4 or 5 secs off (that said, SC etc.).

As to the Renault, it's scoring points more regularly, against the customer cars, so let's not lose out heads etc.
