The Official Singapore GP Chat & Pedictions mkII

Radio says he was practicing a straight line pit entry to cut time when done on race day, was told photographers were there before doing it.

 

Seb.....on.....FIRE!

 

1.6s faster...........than Senna

 

Red Bull have got that car perfectly set up for Vettel. Perhaps it's no coincidence Webber is struggling.

EDIT: Hamilton lost all 3 tenths in that last sector, he locked up at the beginning, would that explain that away completely or are Red Bull just stronger?

 

Oooooooooooooft.

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain...

 

How much was Seb up before the tyre gave way? 2 tenths?

 

Vettel should have pole, Hamilton second.

 

I liked the way Petrov made sure to get his DRS opened after smashing his car up.

Looking good for Seb.

 

Agreed.

• Vettel has absolutely fantastic traction through the bits that really matter: sectors 1 and 3.
• Alonso will be quite happy to watch those two scrapping over each other's winner's points. He knows that while they fight each other, his Championship lead looks ever more safe for a third crown.
• Hamilton has sector 2 nailed but this is not enough compensation for Pole

Also in Vettel's favour is that his traction will help reduce tyre wear through the race*. For this reason, I would not be too surprised to see Hamilton – who tends to find compensation for low grip with audacious driving – doing three stops to Vettel's and Alonso's two. Similarly, I expect Button to be easier on his tyres than his team mate at this circuit.

*Although this might seems to be a contradiction in terms, we should remember that tyre wear is increased when struggling for traction.

 

Edit: Why is it ****ing aligning it like that? Getting seriously pissed off with this site.

 

Lol I got my TV programme information right in front of me and it says: F1 13:00-15:30 (The Belgium Grand Prix)

 

It's like the BBC have left those on work experience to run the F1 website!

 

Mine doesn't. Might be your browser.

More importantly, what does it say about Italian business and culture that bent, corrupt and disgraced businessman Flavio Briatore is hosting their version of The Apprentice?

 

lol does Chilton really think he earned the Marrussia reserve driver role? He'd get nowhere without his rich dad.

 

You sir will always be a legend on this forum.

Mercedes couldn't be more worse if they tried.

 

Any last minute qualifying predictions?

Mine is:
1. Vettel
2. Hamilton
3. Button
4. Alonso
5. Webber
6. Hulkenburg
7. Raikkonen
8. Massa
9. Perez
10. Di Resta

 

1)Vettel
2)Alonso
3)Ham
4)Button
5)Webber
6)Hulk
7)Massa
8)Raikkonen
9)Maldonado
10)Di Resta

 

Hamilton will get pole, it's only going to get colder, and Red Bull are better in the heat.

 

Both Williams are looking handy, and Mercedes where is the pace come from now?

Yet to come down to the 1:47's yet Ham goes fastest.

 

why havent ferrari sent massa out on super soft tyres?
