As for Red Bull, unless Max DNFs then I don’t think it will matter all that much in the championship. I’d like to see a good battle for the win but given the track I’m not keeping my hopes up

[@2639theboss]

I mean i think theres a decent shot he DNFs fighting Norris at least once and costing Red Bull another place in the WCC but im not sure he cares about that. And obviously if he does that, hes still winning the WDC.

[@viniciusbraga9881]

I believe Max will win the title by 20 points or something Lando keeps closing the gap by merely 3 or 5 points and even Charles and Oscar are even further behind. Unless Max has some terrible luck in the remaining races, he got this one

[@2639theboss]

@@viniciusbraga9881 He needs around 8 points a race, and it would still go down to the last race, and like you said, hes not there. Mclarens decisions are going to age terribly i think. They have 15 to 20 points they left on the table.

[@viniciusbraga9881]

@@2639theboss And none of McLaren drivers are ready to win the title yet

[@2639theboss]

@@viniciusbraga9881 I mean Norris probably wins the title this year if McLaren force points to him away from Piastri (whether thats the right call or not). Verstappen wasnt ready for his first championship either, he made a litany of mistakes and needed a few breaks. Same for Hamilton and others. I think its pretty typical that the first championship is a bit more dependent on luck and after that theres less pressure and it runs smoother. Could be wrong though, havent won a championship in F1 personally.

Thank you for bringing up Sepang and the PETRONAS 50. As a Malaysian, it is nice to hear people talk about our homegrown prides. But still, sepang is hard because the cost for F1 tickets was high if i remember right. Hopefully, it does come back to the calendar.

RB is starting what I call the "McLaren Spiral" This is where a very, very dominant team starts sliding back the grid, and can't figure out why, they try everything, and still act like they're championship contenders, but don't realize that something at the core of the project is wrong. Mark my words, this will be resolved by The Horndog being replaced and SS Oberstumfurher Marko being either sidelined or shoved into VCARB. The mass exodus from RB is because of *something*.

[@mrmdmF1-gn2zs]

Take your point that Checo upped his game and did really well at Baku...until he crashed the bloody car again and scored no points again. Not to mention the cost of repair and pressure on the cost cap in their bid to keep developing the car. You quoted Murray Walker, remember "in order to finish first, first you must finish", same goes for scoring points. Checo did not finish and he could have avoided the accident with Sainz and come in fourth. He could not handle being mugged for his third place.

[@lerdodetejada]

@@tonyvargas6981 I don't need glasses, Checo needs glasses and maybe you. Do you think the visual space around an F1 car is like your road car? Its not. Did Checo not expect Sainz was going to follow the racing line? He is not a rookie. And you know what the racing line is dont you??

[@martinavery3979]

Palmer's analysis of Baku said that Piastri won despite Ferrari having the fastest car, I think Charles will win it this time. Peter Windsor claims that Oscar has a similar corner exit to Checo. Suspect Oscar will be faster than Lando, but team orders could come into it

[@mutleyeng]

i think ferrari Leclerc was slightly faster than Piastri Mclaren, but in case you weren't looking, Mclaren Norris absolutely blitzed them both

[@LuminalSpoon]

Oscar was so good out of the corners when compared to Leclerc in Baku.

[@liukin95]

I think Singapore is a MUST win for Lando personally. He's coming off the back of his teammate making a huge statement in Baku, this is the track that Red Bull are notoriously terrible at and he's also got Leclerc hot in his heels in the championship. If there is a time for Lando to win big and put a huge dent into Max's championship lead, it's in Singapore. He must win this weekend.

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

I think Redbull might pull a blinder, sure last year they were abjectly bad, however considering that last year McLaren in Miami went from last to first this year along with over tracks it’s not impossible for redbull to do the same here.

[@RedHaloManiac95]

FIA should mandate paint weight so all teams have to use paint. Wether it be clear or black plain carbon shouldn’t be allowed

[@doghat1619]

The idea that Mercedes is doing a custom livery specifically to tease Red Bull for cancelling theirs is a very weird take. These things are discussed with sponsors months in advance. The design approval process for the livery itself requires multiple iterations and layers of approval, this isn't something they could just decide to do and announce on a whim. It's a funny idea I guess but F1 isn't highschool, they're not doing these little things to poke fun at each other or humiliate them, they're doing it because Petronas pays them the big bucks and wants more advertising.

[@galaxypanda1288]

I just don’t understand why Redbull isn’t listening to Max at all. Before qualifying last weekend max said he feels the car is getting better and he’s happy with the setup. Then Redbull last minute changes his setup and suddenly it sucks for the race. It’s like they’re actively trying to sabotage Max.

@@agentnoobz5588 Sabotaging is a very heavy word and insinuates all sorts of wrong stuff - and you know that.

[@twrampage]

1.) Norris 2.) Sainz 3.) Piastri 4.) Leclerc 5.) Russel I think Sainz will be up there precisely because he likes Singapore, and Leclerc won't be quite as on for qualifying. Russell was good here until he crashed last year, and I think he'll be good again.

If the team don't mess up qualifying again and actually send their drivers out before things get messy, I honestly see Lando winning this race no matter what. He'll have Oscar for support to keep Charles in check at the start. If it rains, he's a magician in the wet, and if not, his pace in baku was impressive on both mediums and hards. He was pumping out lap times that were 0.3-1 second faster a lap on 36 lap old tyres than Oscar, Charles, Checo, Max on their 5-10 lap old hards.

When remembering F1 in the late 70's and early 80's I remember Williams being the big front runner along with McLaren, well maybe Williams more in the 80's, but their advertising was everywhere.

Sorry if I missed it (I had to pause several times due to interruptions) but why are you not expecting anything from Mercedes?

If McLaren can lock out the front row (in either order) then Lando will likely get the win. If Charles is on the front row with Lando it could go either way. If Oscar is on the front row and Lando further back, I'll tip Oscar for the win.
