Anyway, tomorrow should be a blast—we're going to see a massive battle for those spots between 7th and 13th!

Is there nothing on the local news or DirecTV?

Good grief, half a second again 🤦

It’s actually working now 😁 😁
Just a second ago, my screen went totally black and I got an error saying I didn't have permission to watch the stream.🤷

His car is just built totally different from everyone else's.🙂

Qualifying has become even more boring than free practice 🤦 nobody actually drives; they just sit there, pull one flying lap, and whoever grabs a decent spot wins.

Nice job Mark, nice job Jenson Button

If they screwed over Lujis again, we're in for a bad time. 🤣

Maybe Webber takes it from Vettel tomorrow, then things actually get interesting.🙂

If nothing else, Singapore is beautiful

I find it utterly difficult to believe that Mark Webber will ever be anything more than a supporting player. I would sooner bet on him losing several positions right at the starting lights than expect him to pose any genuine threat to Sebastian Vettel’s dominance. It is painfully obvious that the entire team is structured to serve Vettel's interests alone.
It seems inevitable that 2011 will be the year he secures his second world championship title. 🙂

That’s just how it works. If we can pull off a clean overtake on Mark Webber right at the start, we’ll have the entire race to hunt down Sebastian Vettel, rather than desperately clawing our way into second place around lap 40 while sitting fifteen seconds behind him.☕

If he manages to find an opening after the lights go out, he’s going to blow past that kid, even if his car is half a second slower overall.☕

What on earth was Jenson Button wearing in that suit?🤣🤣

First, Vettel’s gonna jump ahead of Webber, so Red Bull Racing can just grab that 1-2 finish in the drivers' championship.☕

Finally, Mark Webber might actually get a decent start for once.

Since Ferrari isn't doing anything to disrupt the plans of the "beverage giant," McLaren actually stands a much better chance here.
Webber is likely to drop a few positions in those first few hundred yards after the launch anyway.

Both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa are going to run right over him.☕

Same goes for Jenson Button.

Flying Kamui Kobayashi 😁

😢
I mean, what else can you expect from Kamui Kobayashi? 😢

If it isn't Vettel or Hamilton, who cares, right? 🙂

Jenson Button is probably just going to spend tomorrow messing with Hamilton again. 🙂

Everyone's banking on a podium for Fernando Alonso. ☕

The Alguersuari race is always inversely proportional to his qualifying sessions, so I’m calling it now: he’ll probably limp into 9th or 10th and grab some random points tomorrow. 🙂

What is emphasized here is precisely what matters most: tomorrow’s starting position will be absolutely critical for Mark Webber.
It stands to reason that Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton could have easily overtaken Mark Webber if the circumstances had been even slightly different.
How can one even begin to quantify the sheer dominance displayed by Sebastian Vettel today? It was nothing short of phenomenal. He operated on an entirely different plane of existence compared to the rest of the field, leaving his competitors trailing in his wake while simultaneously outclassing his own teammate, Mark Webber, with effortless precision.

It’s tough. That track is just brutal, and Jenson Button had a pretty lousy start—not quite as bad as Mark Webber, but still bad. Usually, he manages to claw back some positions within the first couple of laps, but that initial launch was nothing special. Personally, I think Ferrari is the bigger threat here, even if they're trailing behind.😳

It’s like they have some secret cheat code for the start. Massa and Alonso are just on a completely different level than everyone else when the lights go out.
