2023 Singapore Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread

Carlos Sainz's racing IQ is insane.

Oh my god George! What the FUCK lmao

Lawson POINTS

Hamilton got what he wanted.

Message that Russell needs to push, Russell pushes straight into a wall, Hamilton takes 3rd.

"It doesn't just rain, it Singapores."

Can't stay mad at that

WP Sainz what a boss drive

Something new this season: Red Bulls being overtaken on track.

Mercedes on point for this race. Leclerc got sacrificed by ferrari.

Sucks for Ocon. He was on a roll today.

Russell is not ready yet. Hamilton would have won if he was ahead

Bravo Sainz. Killer race.

For as big of a deal as they made about the new track layout there’s almost no overtaking except redbull falling down

Piastri up 10 positions. Impressive

Logan doing his best to interject some excitement into this procession

Ocon died to give us this end

wow! What a race, what a drive from Carlos Sainz.

Liam Lawson in net points scoring positions when Max /Checo pit :)

He might get Alonso as well after the penalty

That would take him to 9th

I've never been so happy to hear the Spanish national anthem in my life.

Sainz tactical genius man

Wow, just saw the Perez move on Albon in the post-race discussion. Just dive-bombed him. Very clumsy. Hope he gets a penalty for that one.

Smooth operator!

Great race. Was a lot of fun joining everyone here online. Till the next.

Terrible camera work once again. We didn't see what really happened to Yuki, we didn't see HAM and RUS switching places, we didn't see VER overtaking HUL. The director is just frantically switching back and forth between cars.

There goes the "will they, won't they?" of Red Bull taking all of the wins this year. Good work from Sainz, Norris and Hamilton; that was a bit embarrassing from Russell.

Lawson will score today if nothing shit happens to him

Disastrous pitstop for Alonso. Did the rear jackman prematurely drop the car?

What a gamble for Merc. Wow.

Max is sliding so damn much. This is so fucking weird to see. That car really doesn’t like this track.

Ah Ferrari

Hands down best race of the season. And all it took was for RedBull to not be around.

Dang, Ocon was doing so well.

Funny how the circumstances change just as drivers get comfortable with their positions.

Here we go

A ferrari strategy fuckup is imminent.

Great fight from Ocon

Today, we all earned the Spanish National Anthem.

Perez-Ocon-Alonso battle on a street circuit with close walls (👁 ͜ʖ👁)

What is this tv direction how did tsunoda get his car behind the barriers that quick

Every time I hear the Italian anthem I can't help but think 'stop it you're just encouraging them.'

OMG GEORGE NO

Sainz actually has this race in his pocket at the moment. Unbelievably comfortable right now.

Are they racing on rails? Overtakes where?

Lmaoo Sargeant fucking the entire circuit

Horner must be fuming.

Ocon giving the camera a wave, good sport

This is going be a great finish

Poor Leclerc

Finally we hear the OG F1 Dominance Anthem again. 🥹

"Looking at the Aston Martin, Martin.."

Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.

Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

Aren't Perez and Albon under investigation after the race for VSC infringement and causing a collision?

Any chances of further penalties?

Holy shit Esteban!

No! Esteban...

This is the best race since the 2021 season

Oh man. Absolutely gutted for Ocon. Fucking brutal after such a good drive.

A taste of what this season would have been like without Verstappen.

I really don't know what to expect from this race in terms of excitement but I'm happy it's race day!

Poor Yuki

DNF for Tsunoda, yikes. He DNS'ed the last race. What's going on with his car? Damage from contact.

I know it makes sense for the Ferrari 1-2 but I really don't want Leclerc to have to sacrifice his race to make it happen.

Permanently Deleted

Poor Alonso

Ocon taking names.

Feel for ocon. Was giving us great entertainment

Someone meme that Ocon walk please

Mercedes has been on it with strategy all weekend

Carlos Sainz is a fucking GOD!

Charles : Noooooooooo !!

This is my favorite race of the season so far. Sainz did a masterful job at the end.

was really looking forward to ONE week where we didn’t hear them talk about max all race long and we could focus on a real fight at the front…but no. 5 laps in and it was already “max is gonna lead the race” and “he has a real chance”

like, okay, how about you wait til SOMETHING happens before declaring that crap

/rant

Mercs infighting will fuck them

The racing gods 'everyone shall overtake a redbull today'

Interesting tactics from merc

Now they want a 5 second gap 🤣

Can't be a RB procession if they don't lead from pole.

Looking at carbon parts all over. GREEN FLAG TRACK CLEAR. What?

Hope it's a spicy one

Forza Ferrari!!! 🥳

And people said the smoooooth operator isn't as fast as LEC.

Beat race of the year so far. Fucking awesome!

Did Lando hit the wall after the line? 😂

Do we know what exactly was damaged on Yuki's car? The camera angle they showed didn't make it seem like it was big contact

Man both RBs taking out their frustration on poor old tsunoda

Did seinz deliberately give noris drs again?

This could be a banger.

Poor Ocon. Great comedic timing.

Merc looking dangerous now.

Logan right on cue

No space for Hamilton, he was already ahead of Norris, why the whinging

Time for a great fight in the top 4

Interesting start. Let's see what happens to Ham.

Yeasss Lando!!!!

The honeymoon at Aston is over

lets hope norris makes it

Rain incoming. WHOO

Perez, why are you still at your starting position behind a replacement driver?

Is this SC really weird or is it just me?

Pretty stoked for the lineup in this race.

And there's the Ferrari strategy fuck up: why didn't the pit LEC now? There's a huge gap to ALO.

EDIT: and it just got worse. 🙄

Yawn

Anyone else just lose the right channel of their audio for a bit?

Fred's first flag at Maranello as well.

I hope Ferrari doesn't just run away with it today, and we can see Mercedes and McLaren challenge them. It'll be interesting to see if RB can do anything from back there, too.

Let's hope for an interesting race. Also points for lawson.

Newey looking at the AT; I wish I could see what he sees when studying aero details.

Oh no. Lawson's tyres are done

Suspension broke?

Ferrari trying to sabatage leclerc by giving him to Russel lmao classic

this is fun! max getting fucked tho.

I wonder if something is up Alonso's car.

Redbull choosing not to pit, is that a mistake with how close the grid is?
