Popping in to this other F1 thread to say hello. It feels like this has been a looong couple of weeks without racing, especially now a bunch of the other series like Indycar and Formula E etc are finished.

My hopes for this weekend are for the weather to provide us with an unexpected race winner. And that everything...helmets, drivers, cars... is covered in oodles of glitter to look fancy under the lights in Singapore 😅.

I agree. I think lack of DRS didn’t help. Hamilton whinging that Sainz was holding him back made me laugh. I was like “overtake then” 😂

alex is confirmed to race in singapore!

i don’t know how i feel about it - he’s obviously been checked and is feeling okay, but it’s such a hard going race, i would have felt better about him taking another week and giving nyck another chance. hope he goes okay though 🤞🏻

I love the comment he said "I don't like people who think they are right when not " or similar. Really Max looked in the mirror lately matey 🤨

Max makes a toddler look mature. I guess this is what happens when you have the upbringing he has Kelly must feel like she has two children

What a boring race (again). Not a single yellow flag? I mean good for the drivers and teams but so boring for us.

Only good thing was Kmag getting a point, Perez fighting Verstappen for at least 2 sec and Russel/Hamilton getting 4th/6th after the bad weekend they had.

Gosh that was a boring race. Really hope Mercedes can sort the car out.

Regulation is changed to stop Mercedes dominance so we now have Red Bull dominance and Max wins by 12 seconds.. That makes it entertaining... Great move FIA. 🙃

Well was that not the weirdest race? Even the crashes were boring. When I realised it was on lap 38 I was in total denial 😂 Pleased for Perez and sad there won't be any wholesome Papa Perez content (unless somone has seen him there)

i have never seen a race so dull with that many crashes and safety cars 🤣 it came to life near the end but absolutely a very strange race overall.

he definitely seemed to have taken a step back last season, which is a shame. i guess it’s a huge time commitment with the travelling and such so maybe it was just getting too much.

if sky lose ted though then they lose me as a viewer 🤣

Yes Ted is the best bit!

Mark Webber is great! I love the channel 4 pundits and coverage too. I wish they had the live rights still. Such a shame it went to sky. I used to love it on the BBC and C4.
@F1Grid good shout on Chandhok. He’s so far up Red Bull’s arse I’m sure he’s a paid employee.
I hope Jennie Gow is doing okay

the bbc coverage back in the day with jake humphrey and eddie jordan was the absolute best. i miss it and think of it whenever i hear “the chain” 😭

of the current coverage i absolutely agree that channel 4 is the best. i like steve a lot (and he’s 🔥 obviously 🤣) - he never tries to take over and has a genuine enthusiasm, and the pundits are all great. sky just takes itself so seriously sometimes.

Driver of the day, pretty much all of them. Not the easiest of conditions but fair play to them all. Congrats Perez and Ferrari didn't mess up for once 👏👏 look at Mclaren, well done to them. So pleased to see Seb in the points 😊
