Instead of just fixing that wind tunnel issue the second it popped up—they’ve basically dragged it out until now. Honestly, they should all just be fired at once. But yeah, if some miracle doesn't happen right now or over in Korea, Sebastian Vettel is losing this championship.
He got caught because he was crossing the border if he’d just driven normally, he would've caught up to Fernando Alonso—maybe even passed him if he'd actually listened to the crew and just eased off the gas a bit

To be fair, you’ve actually got some experience in Singapore—is it true that they have incredibly attractive women out on the streets there, or do they just sift through them like needles in a haystack to recruit them as pit ladies? Because, having been to races around this part of the world (Canada, Monza...), the hostesses are always easy on the eyes, sure, but these Singaporean ones are just... wow. 😍
Aren't they basically the same girls from The Hangover Part II?
I'm hoping it doesn't happen—but honestly, looking at how things are going, I've got my doubts since the lead is down to just 29 points now, and let's be real, neither Alonso nor Kimi have the pace to pull off wins right now Hamilton's got the speed, but man, I think today really took it out of him
Pushing it like that on a street circuit, and then managing to catch a car that’s dancing all over the track... with only a few inches of breathing room left... even the most elite drivers wouldn't dare attempt that. 🙏🙏🙏
I don't get why Smedley looks so annoyed—instead of being stoked that Massa is finally racing and pulling in points, he's just shaking his head.
Amanda Kelly said:There’s one thing that really gets under my skin regarding all this "luck and misfortune" talk whenever a competitor drops out. It’s a plain fact: when someone ahead of you pulls out due to a breakdown, those behind benefit. They move up, they gain positions, and they pick up more points. The biggest win, obviously, is watching your direct rivals bleed points.
People really ought to grasp—finally, at least—that Formula 1 is a team sport. If a car breaks down mid-race, that falls squarely on the shoulders of the team. It's their responsibility. Is Fernando Alonso somehow to blame because Red Bull Racing's alternators are failing, or because McLaren can't seem to tune both of their cars properly for two or three races in a row? Of course not. They're the ones at fault, not him. And if you want to score points, let alone win a championship, you actually have to finish the race first.
If it hadn't been for that opening lap incident at Spa-Francorchamps, Fernando Alonso would be sitting there today as the absolute record-holder for consecutive races with points. That’s something worth respecting. Deeply. He deserves credit for that, and so does Ferrari as a team. That isn't just pure luck.
Look, Ferrari is solid enough to finish races and the car is pretty reliable—probably the most dependable one on the grid but, raw speed is a whole different beast entirely what's the point of constantly grabbing points if you can't actually win? —just look at Kimi
William Bennett53 said:Honestly, what a joke... they didn't even hand out penalties to Ayrton Senna or Felipe Massa, yet they went after Michael Schumacher just for a standard overtake... if that's the case, they should have penalized that poor Indian driver when he ended up hitting the wall too. As for Mark Webber, I'm not even sure why he got penalized since I missed the overtake through the chicane. It honestly baffles me that they didn't penalize Pastor Maldonado or Lewis Hamilton for their mechanical failures.
Senna vs Massa doesn't count as a penalty because Massa cut the chicane while Senna was just closing the door—if someone had actually hit the wall, there would've been a penalty, but this? Nothing. Agreed on Schumacher being unfairly penalized, and Webber too.
If Fernando Alonso and Ferrari don't finally snag at least one win—or if Vettel's alternator gives up on him again—we could easily see a repeat of 2010. Honestly, I've got a bad feeling it’s going down that way.
sec, what if it actually ends up raining? God forbid—I barely managed to convince my girl to leave me alone for these 2 hours so I can watch this masterpiece in peace.
Matthew Murphy91 said:Tomorrow, I’m expecting to see one driver absolutely run circles around the rest of the field. Lewis Hamilton is just on a different level compared to everyone else right now. He’ll cruise his way to the title at the end of the season without much trouble.
Maybe if he doesn't end up stuck in a ditch halfway through Turn 1...
honestly, I'm more worried about Mercedes than the actual competition if things go like they usually do, Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean will probably wreck everything again and take out half the grid in the first two turns I'm really hoping everyone—even Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton—makes it to the finish line without any crashes or an SC, but let's be real, it feels inevitable
Amanda Kelly said:Total wrecks are completely unacceptable. So, I’m expecting more caution and fewer reckless lunges, especially given what’s surrounding the track—all that concrete and those barriers. And yeah, I'm talking about the leaders.
As for qualifying, I expect Alonso to land in the top 3. That would basically guarantee him a podium finish and honestly, it's his only real shot at winning.
You really think they'll play it safe? I'd bet anything that the start is going to be a disaster and we'll see an SC almost immediately. A bunch of them are gonna end up smashed against the barrier just like Petrov did today—Perez nearly went too... It's wild to me how huge the gaps are in practice—they used to be within a second of each other, but now the differences are massive.
Checking in on how Alonso is looking—everyone else is basically just fighting for scraps here but first things first, I'm really looking forward to qualifying just gotta keep an eye on Maldonado and Grosjean, especially if they manage to break into the top 10 those two act like they've never even seen a steering wheel or a brake pedal before
