Grand Prix thread 2015 Singapore GP Chat and Predictions

If that doesn't blow out they'll have to cancel. I don't think they'd be given a choice if it was in Europe.

 

Looks like a wonderful photo for the Singapore tourism board.

 

I always found this circuit the hardest to get a good car set-up playing F1 on the PS3

 

McLaren is ****ed then!

 

I wouldnt mind seeing Rosberg take pole and get the first pit. We havent really had a lot of Lewis chasing him for this season. I think it would be fun to watch and it would be interesting how both team mates handle the pressure ...who will break first? Let the battle begin!!

 

Thats pretty bad haze. The circuit is hard as it is never mind a brown fog.

 

Alex Rossi replaces Roberto Merhi for the rest of the season, probably going to be a few people wanting to change their vote up top.

 

The latest news is that Rosberg will be on his fourth unit...if that is the case he is going to be really on the backfoot and is likely to have a penalty before the end of the season. Is it likely that Vettel could overtake him in the championships? I hope that the season could still produce some good exciting racing. Maybe Rosberg and Vettel on the front row this week and lets see what happens?

 

Good. I'm glad he is finally getting his chance. Mehri looked good on paper but didn't cut it. I refuse to believe Stevens is a good driver.

 

Would be funny if Ricciardo/Kyvyat turned up and grabbed a surprise victory at this weekend of all weekends, especially if there's a bit of Merc unreliability in the air on this new PU...

Red Bull Ferrari looks like the customer engine scenario next season- very strange indeed.

 

Any reason for that, or simply because he doesn't have a sexy sounding racing drivers name?

 

So it seems Rossi has signed up for 5 of the last 7 races. That's an odd contract. Wonder if Merhi will be back for the other 2 or if a certain teams young driver will move across once his junior championship is over....


EDIT.
Never mind...

Merhi says Manor's decision to drop him for Alexander Rossi is "better for team in long term". Will still race in Russia and Abu Dhabi.

Merhi: "I didnt know how long its would end up. At least I did 12 races…they gave me a good chance. Decision better for team in long-term"

 

Rossi will have number 53 on his car...after Herbie.

 

That's bananas.

 

He'll be 20 laps down with 21 left, then suddenly drive in reverse, and overtake Hamilton for the lead using a loop-the-loop through the tunnel after turn 18.
Anything else is fail.

 

Dear. God. Why does Vettel look like an X factor Winner - in fact he looks like Dec.

 

Does Rosberg ever have a trouble free weekend.

 

He's probably throwing a spanner in the works himself so he has a ready made excuse.

 

Thunderbirds are go!!!

I'm guessing these were knocked out by the apprentice or intern?

 

I don't imagine Hamilton would be too devastated with 2nd.
