Pick the Podium - F-1 - Singapore Airlines, Singapore Grand Prix, Marina Bay Street Circuit, Marina Bay Singapore, September 15-17, 2023.

With the F-1 season coming to a close over the next 8 races, it is more evident than ever that Verstappen and RB will take their third consecutive championship. The Mercs are going with whiney boy and Hamilton for 2024. Ferrari is still undecided and a few teams are continuing to progress with younger drivers. We shall see how this one plays out on the coming weekend.

Typical Ferrari. They lead FP2 and practiced and then they disappear in the race!

I am just now watching qualifying. Saw both Red Bulls out in P2 & Verstappen storm off LOL

Now with that said. WTH have I missed? How is their handling so far off for this race?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Could possibly be the new technical directive on flexi parts.

Or not, according to Horner.

Where both Haas cars make P3 & both Redbull cars do not!

Congrats to Sainz.
Always said he should be the one making the strategy for Ferrari. He used his smarts today to get the win.
Side note.
Congrats to Lawson for scoring points today in his handful of starts.

Could he take away Tsunoda's seat?
I think he will be driving full time for someone next year.

 

[ckhokie]

Tsunoda has actually been driving pretty well this year

 

[ckhokie]

Nice to see what races could be like without the RB19 domination. Glad to see Sainz show Ferrari brass he can win. Maybe they’ll stop blatantly rolling with LEC. Also cool to see him drag along Lando to hold off the Mercs.

 

[Retroram52]

Sainz takes the win, followed by Norris, Hamilton, and LeClerc.
