Round 15: Singapore Grand Prix

rapidtinker45 said:Yeah, that’s what he said—what's the issue? He isn't Hamilton, after all—not exactly known for dropping nonsense in public. I mean, sure, maybe he didn't exactly offer that mechanic much comfort like Luca di Montezemolo suggested—he was probably just in the garage losing his mind and shouting—but still... The press conference—if you can even call it that—was a disaster. Just a complete waste of everyone's time. He absolutely shut me down and repeated exactly what I wrote—so, please, spare me the nonsense going forward. If you’re skeptical, just head over to ESPN.com and read the actual press conference transcripts yourself.

Pressure? Please.🤣
What—are they interviewing the guys who just drive in circles now too? 🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't matter—keep defending him if you must... there are still three races left to see how this actually plays out.

I only caught a portion of the action, but I can certainly say this:

ROSBERG!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wait, are they interviewing the guys who were just punching each other in the pit lane now??? 🤣 🤣 🤣
Whatever, you guys just keep defending him... there are still 3 races left on the calendar, so let's see how it plays out!

Listen, honey, after a race, EVERYONE is required to give statements. That means drivers from every single team, plus one official—like a technical director or a sporting director, etc.
It all gets published in the Race Note for each team.

So, maybe just go check out the Singapore 2008 - Race Note - Ford

Well, you might as well enjoy a little win while you can!🤣

In my humble opinion, Rosberg drove way more masterfully than Alonso did. And let's not forget, the guy had to deal with that brutal 10-second stop-and-go penalty!!!

Come on, don't be silly.😁

It seems pretty clear that Rosberg simply took full advantage of a loophole in the rulebook. 🙏

You could totally argue that Williams was way, way slower than Renault... and you could also say that despite that loophole in the regs, they actually served their penalty properly. Plus, they ended up finishing second! They were only about 20 seconds back before the SC came out. Honestly, it was such a killer drive—maybe even a bit more masterful than Alonso, who pretty much just cruised into that spot.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet..

The tragic figure of the first-ever night race in NASCAR history is Felipe Massa. The Brazilian held the lead until the safety car was deployed following Piquet's excursion. Once the chaos erupted in the pits, it was clear the Ferrari crew wasn't prepared to handle both cars at once. After Kimi finished his stop, Massa pulled out. But since there wasn't a crew member holding a lollipop to signal when it was safe to go, the Brazilian accidentally dragged the fuel hose all the way down the pit lane.

🤣 🤣

Man, that’s just how they start their mornings, so I don't know why you're even surprised... they weren't even watching the race, they were probably just emailing San Andrea about it 😁
