Singapore may look terrific on TV, what with F1 to be floated on the local stock exchange you won't hear anything but gushing accolades from the motoring press depending on paddock passes but, as far as racing, it can only be justified as a torture test for drivers. I can't remember the last time I've seen the guys look so spent after a race, and these are guys in amazing shape.
There are still 150 points in play in the championship, the math boils down to Alonso not having the luxury to finish behind Vettel any more. Ferrari was nowhere near Red Bull and Mclaren and Fernando will have to count on the Hamilton and Button taking some of those 150 points away from Vettel while Ferrari figures out how to achieve the right temperature delta between front and rear tires, apparently the key to Mclaren's speed lately.
There were penalties handed out to Schumacher, Webber,
Massa, what a save! Ferrari needs more, but who? you can't kick Massa out for a Hulkenberg or a Kovalainen if you can't get a Perez...
I don't think Senna got a penalty in the end did he?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened< they changed their minds? Schumacher messed up and Webber's penalty was pretty ridiculous but Senna is the one guy who did the dangerous thing on purpose! Infuriating

DeletePrecisely what's infuriating about how F1 applies penalties. If you have a rule saying you must leave room when another driver gets a nose alongside then stick to it... Or don't have the rule. Rediculous
DeleteToo bad Kartikeyan cant tell left from right. Front left crashed he says. Hmm.. i wonder if he thought it was a right turn then?
ReplyDeletejust can't get behind Vettel. Still exciting to have a leader and an underdog in alonso!
ReplyDeleteI think that's right, Alonso has the slowest but up to now most reliable car, but now he cannot simply place which will make the finale exciting once again.
