    Default 2017 formula 1 singapore grand prix

    So much happening in the last 2 weeks.

    McLaren switches to Renault, Toro Rosso switches to Honda.

    Sainz switches to Renault and rumoured as early as Malaysia with Gasly taking his Toro Rosso seat.

    Palmer is certainly out, but how soon is still in question.

    Kubica released from Renault contract and exploring a drive with Williams?

    Alonso extension still TBD. Realistically, I don't think McLaren aero is a match for RBR still, but we will see in 2018 I guess. RBR will also switch to Honda in 2019, and with Alonso's luck....

    Am I the only one that does not think McLaren's chassis (and gearbox for that matter) is as good as they think it is?

    Running a whole bunch of wing and having good in corner stability because the engine doesn't have enough HP to break traction doesn't mean the chassis is sorted.

    Rosberg is on Kubica's management team now? https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/13...anagement-role

    Ricciardo sets new lap record in practice.

    Everyone is going hard and kissing walls in practice.

    I was hoping McLaren would stay with Honda. Now that they switch to Renault, they don't have Honda for an excuse if they don't perform. With the deal, at least Honda is still in F1 but I just don't have a lot of confidence with team performing. Rumours are that Red Bull will switch to Honda after 2018.

    As much as I like a comeback story, I just think his time has passed. He came back and drove in testing... good for him. That should be the end of the story. He is not the driver that he once was. There are so many younger drivers that deserves the chance to race in F1.

    Williams has some sponsorship clause with Martini that says they need an older driver IIRC.

    Alonso, Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen, Vettel and Hulkenberg are 30+ and are still showing up the younger guys. Kubica isn't that old at 32 compared to half that list.
    I don't really care about age if they put in the lap times.

    Caginess can often beat cockiness.

    Pretty pumped for tomorrow's race. When is the last time Mercedes qualified 5-6 on pure pace?
    Amazing lap by Vettel, but I'm dreaming of a Red Bull 1-2.

    Oh yeah, and both McLarens in Q3.

    Lol vettel. Shitty that Alonso got the boot from that.

    If Vettel gets points on his license for this, will he have enough for a race ban?

    That was all Vettel. Schumacher chop before clearing the Red Bull.

    Ferrari tweeted it was Max taking them out. Ferrari just clarified that’s not their position. Fake news! Haha.

    Just saw the accident from another angle.
    Wtf was the Count doing? He did not need to do the Scumey chop against the red bull.
    This is going to cost the red barons dearly.

    Goomba must have been helicoptering his dick whilst dancing around his cabin after the race.
