Exactly.

Mixed sets.

William Gomez5 said:Valtteri Bottas still has that class 🙏

He’s a total class act—an optimist through and through.

Good grief, they’re really pushing you to the limit here.

And you? Just grab some ice water. You already know what's coming next, don't you?😉

Jason Campbell70 said:Honestly, there is nothing more exhausting than scrolling through amateurish "expert" takes and endless clones once the race is over. 👍

Not to mention all those trolls who clearly have absolutely nothing better to do with their lives.👍

Kyle Edwards5 said:Lewis Hamilton doesn't actually have that many fans. Most of them are just Vettel haters who happen to support some Spanish driver that nobody even remembers anymore...

Ouch.😛

Jason Campbell70 said:Well, come on then! Why not be helpful and just throw a poll in there? 👍

Honestly, this whole thing smells like a disqualification waiting to happen.😁

I think you might be talking after a few drinks.

What on earth is going on with Lewis Hamilton? Seriously, the guy looks like he aged a decade overnight. His face is sagging, the wrinkles are deep, there are lines everywhere on his cheeks, and his neck looks completely shot. I was watching an interview with him on Graham Norton just two years ago, and he looked practically like a kid! Now, he’s still rocking that hairstyle that makes him look like some washed-up punk rocker from a bygone era.

🙏

Sebastian Vettel takes this one pretty much by routine right at the start.

Every single one of the 20 drivers walked away with points, which actually isn't a bad outcome at all, is it?

It’s just brutal how much points were lost because of those drainage issues.

Richard Walker38 said:Looking at the stats for Singapore, we should probably set Sebastian Vettel aside for a moment, especially since Mercedes has been absolutely dominating there over the last two seasons. It’s going to be a nail-biter.

It’s going to be intense regardless, but he really needs to close that gap to within about 10 points.
Right now, there's a 30-point cushion. If Vetel takes the win in Singapore and Lewis Hamilton comes in second, the gap drops to 23. If third place gets 20 and fourth gets 18... well, realistically speaking, we're looking at needing four or five more races just to get back in striking distance, leaving maybe one or two left to actually fight for the championship title.

mellowtiger83 As I was saying:
I honestly can't wrap my head around why Sebastian Vettel didn't just play it smart regarding Lewis Hamilton. I mean, wouldn't it have been so much easier to just claim he lost grip or that the car slid out from under him? If they both ended up with a DNF, those 17 points would still be sitting right there on the table. Wouldn't that sound a whole lot better than taking a massive -30 point hit? Why take the fall when you could have just played it off as a racing incident?

Now we've reached that frustrating stage where Sebastian Vettel basically has to sit there and pray for a DNF from Lewis Hamilton, just so he can maintain that five-point lead. Isn't it strange how much the championship comes down to pure luck at this point? You find yourself rooting for someone else's misfortune just to stay in the hunt.

I won't even get started on the sheer amount of pressure weighing on Sebastian Vettel right now. It’s honestly intense. One more little slip-up, one tiny mistake, and his shot at the championship is basically history. Meanwhile, look at Lewis Hamilton—he can practically do whatever he wants, drive like a maniac, and still find himself right in the thick of the title fight. Isn't it wild how much breathing room one driver gets while the other is walking a tightrope?

I’ve definitely had that thought cross my mind before—you know, the whole "die a man" mentality where you just grit your teeth and take whatever comes your way—but honestly? I don't think Sebastian Vettel is that kind of guy. He's just not built that way.
Nothing’s actually been settled yet. We still have seven races left on the calendar, which is basically a third of the season remaining. Honestly, I have a feeling Lewis Hamilton is going to struggle in his next outing—maybe even sooner than that. At this stage, you really have to be lucky, don't you? You need to grab every single opportunity that comes your way and, for heaven's sake, stop handing out free gifts to the competition.

Felipe Massa certainly has a handsome face.

Forza Čapljina!😁

Jason Campbell70 said:Well, just like everyone else out there on the track today, they were all losing ground.

We saw plenty of overtakes, and since Rajko isn't exactly known for being an aggressive, defensive driver, he must have messed something up somewhere along the line.

Daniel Ricciardo pulled off a really smooth move past Hulk.

A few other little tidbits from the race:

That plastic bag involving Sirokin completely ruined his race.

Carlos Sainz Jr. was nearly driven to distraction by a malfunctioning driver drink bottle.
