After practice, Rosberg is fastest but has Raikkonen and Verstappen charging hard. Hamilton placed 7th. Another race to enjoy and see if you can move up spots this week.

Nico throws down the gauntlet, but can he keep it together in the race? Demanding, physical track and he's gonna have two snorting bulls and his Tiger of a Teammate to contend with.

I say Red Bull, who are always strong at Singapore, pull this one out.

Rosberg takes the pole but Ricciardo steals second away from Hamilton. Could be interesting.

Rosberg held on to win over Ricciardo in Singapore to re-take the championship points lead. Hamilton finished third.

There are just six races left to determine the championship. It shoud be interest be interesting to see if Rosberg can withstand a charge by Hamilton.

Nice job retro. I really expected Daniel to get off the line in front. Oh well.

Loved seeing Kvyat making life hard for Max. Even when the team told him that his battle was with Alonso ahead (meaning get out of the Red Bull's way), he just ignored them and made Max work for it.


And what is the deal with people and animals getting onto the track at Singapore? Last year, some guy just wandered out. In Practice this year, there was a Gila Monster or some damn thing, and then when they restarted after the safety car a track worker was still on the track on the front stretch when they came down. Madness.

I had to take a flyer.

Initially I had it nailed then decided to edit on a hunch......

Crap.
