2024 F1 SINGAPORE GP FRIDAY by Peter Windsor

The McLaren-Ferrari battle continued unabated in Singapore on Friday, with McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris narrowly edging Ferrari's Charles Leclerc at the top of the tables (on both light fuel and heavy). And, with Red Bull-Honda and Mercedes continuing to struggle with handling imbalances and grip level deficiencies, teams like Visa Cash App and Williams-Mercedes again look strong. On location in Singapore, Peter Windsor looks back at the first day's running at this spectacular street circuit.

There are 4 drs zones now I believe. “And then there was Alpine and Sauber … anyway”

[@fintonmainz7845]

I've taking to watching Windsor's previous year's race report when I'm impatiently waiting for the latest upload.

[@semadragun]

Thanks Peter have fun in Singapore!

[@abhishekranjan420]

Waiting for this video 🙏🏾 Peter a lot of love and respect from India 🇮🇳

[@fintonmainz7845]

Always worth waiting for Mr Windsor

Singapore can be a nightmare on foot in that weather! Don't know how people handle that humid sticky weather all year round, chucks it down with rain randomly like 20 times a day too! Still a great place along with Malaysia, truly comes alive at night. Infinity pools galore!

[@tetra3000]

Looking more and more like next years championship could be between Mclaren and Ferrari from what we see now

Thanks Peter. Sound and Video all fine. Enjoy Singapore and the race!

Great commentary Peter thanks for sharing

Thanks Peter, what a wonderful work you are doing. Enjoy your weekend. Best wishes. 👍🤙

On his most recent podcast with Coulthard, Eddie Jordan discussed why Newey left for Aston Martin. I was surprised to hear Eddie say that Newey decided to leave Red Bull at Monaco in 2023 😮 and met with Stroll the “next Thursday”. These revelations don’t jive with what Newey has said throughout the year. A lot of bs on Newey’s behalf.

[@robertcarr4172]

Now i want to know what kind of music it was Grandad

[@Cosquash]

Seems like it's back to normal for Lando then 😅

Oscar’s temperament is like Kimi, but he attacks like Senna… world champ in maybe 26 if Aston don’t remove the nepotistic handbrake…

[@JC-lu4se]

You won't hear Oscar yelling over the radio like Kimi. Zero comparison, really.

[@AbdulRehman-vh1hw]

I love ur content!!

[@elianioriofarrell]

Leclerc looked better every lap he did, im not sure how norris is story of the day

[@Wolffview]

Thx Peter, Stay COOL😅

[@ingrampowell9111]

"(Newey) work for the Strolls. Seemed like a rather odd thing to do". Newey is "managing technical partner and shareholder" at Aston Martin - am I missing something, or is this the least odd decision I have ever heard?

[@markwebb8151]

Def not stretching who hit the wall harder

[@jefferyflores2251]

Peter good evening do you think Oscar will be the other Jack Brabham? We had a Mark and a Ricardo. Just asking

[@DiscoStu65-sj6pu]

He doesn’t like anything to do with Australia since we revoked his citizenship 😂 Peter says what will get the most views and likes from the British fans to stay relevant.

[@markwebb8151]

You seem to be McLaren biased

[@gogox98]

I'\ve been saying this for a few races and, contrary to what some jounralists think, to me, this is Lando's title to lose. The gap may look big, but this weekend seems like it will be at elast 18 points for Lando and maybe, MAYBE, 4-6 points for Max, if even that.

[@LMevana]

But the long run from Max wasn't bad from what i saw.

[@frankhuurman3955]

true, but previous years at Singapore looked good on longs runs as well but he usually qualifies quite far back here and can't seem to pass people during the race

[@LMevana]

@@frankhuurman3955 I suppose we will see tomorrow. It will probably be another "damage limitation" weekend

I would love a Hamilton pole with a Norris win (to aid in his WDC pursuit) this weekend.

[@Enzoblueblood]

@@rds6962tbh, unless his side of the garage finds him a solution I think Lewis might miss out on q3.

Peter why do you wear a baseball cap at night indoors ?, do you sleep in it.

[@greyhorse1211]

All this cap wearing is so ridiculous..

[@Erikie81]

Its very simple mclaren has the winning car and driver. Max should be happy if he can reach p5

[@read89simo]

Red bull always sucked at singapore, now with this car they might not make p10

[@mvd4436]

Em no Peter. If it was the other way around and Piastri was way faster than Norris , we'd never hear the end of how it was all Norriss fault for being slow

[@rds6962]

Hi Peter, please can you also do a Malay version of this as well. I understand it better than English.

[@joineralbert2493]

What about a Klingon version… 😂😂

Danny is not performing as bad as other drivers. He does not deserve to be sacked before season's end. He has outperformed Yuki 7 out of the last 10 races by 5-6 grid places. WTF.... He has performed as good as the car can. If the car was better in the last 10 races, he would be out scoring Yuki..... The car hasn't been good enough to score points.... again 7 to 3 to danny in the last 10...

[@noellehablutzel4957]

I agree in general. but yuki has had 2 dnfs in the last two races that weren't really his fault. And I think Danny knew what he signed up for, he was never meant to be there for a long time, but to perform well enough to get the call-up. And while I don't think he deserves to be chucked out, he also hasn't performed well enough for red bull. and I am of the obinion that vcarb should be a junior team, so I personally would prefer lawson to get the seat over ricciardo, but for ricciardo to finish the season at least.

[@musicforyourmood8619]

Ok, so I ran a lot of simulations and I have come up with surprising results. Putting it out here, let's see how it pans out! 1. The title fight for 2024 will come down to Piastri vs Leclerc in the final race. It is 50/50 between them with 7 races to go and 182 points [(25+1)*7] on the table. 2. Norris will not be in the fray because of his driving style, but his points will lead McLaren to the Constructors' Championship (Ferrari 2nd). Have based this on many sims with tons of data input.
