There are still 125 points left on the table—and we're heading to Indianapolis in just two weeks. If things play out like this at the Honda race, the order will look like this: 348-Hamilton, 267-Bottas, 230-Leclerc... which would effectively end any hope of a title shot for Leclerc.
Mind you, trying to overtake at the Honda circuit with the Drag Reduction System is an absolute nightmare—the only real chance is on that straight before the turn leading into the chicane.
And now we go from a VSC straight into a Safety Car—it’s just a parade at this point. Absolute chaos. George Russell is off into the barriers. Come on, Charles!
WHAT THE HELL? Are we seriously doing this again—another parade for the SC crew? Honestly, I’d rather see Sergio Perez stuck in the Singapore pits when the cops roll up and say: "Sorry, but you can't park here!!!"
2.5 gap for Charles Leclerc at lap 23. Lewis Hamilton is trailing Sebastian Vettel by 6 seconds—with Valtteri Bottas right behind him (+13 sec), and then Leclerc is 10 seconds back from that group
26/53—Vettel and Hamilton haven't pitted yet, while Leclerc goes for the Shoey... he basically sneezed and just went straight to OUT. Vettel pits on 27.
Sebastian Vettel’s best lap was 1:39.350—Charles Leclerc clocked a 1:39.392, so it isn't even that much of a gap. Now Seb is pushing even harder—I honestly think he's looking at a 26-point haul if he hits a 1:39.221.
Interesting stuff—Max is sitting at 8th. Sebastian Vettel is clocking a 1.39.750, which puts him over a full second ahead of Charles Leclerc.
hmmm.... I highly doubt Sebastian Vettel is going to let Charles Leclerc by—especially since he's actually faster than him right now. Meanwhile, Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz are killing it out there while keeping Valtteri Bottas blocked.
The procession is underway. Boom, boom, boom. Vettel is in first, followed by Charles Leclerc, then the Mercedes-Benz duo—Sainz had an incredible start, though someone's already hit the wall hard.
Hey everyone—will we be getting those Champions League and Europa League threads up for this season? Also, I’m curious if there will be any score predictions for the UCL games this year.
