That was a better show from our guys to-day. Pity Russell got in the middle
But to-morrow is where the points are. I bet RB will break curfew and work on the car.
Forza Jules
Good job by Carlos, unless he bins it…it’s a race win for him.
Charles was on pole till S2…. Somehow he was struggling in S3 all the weekend not able to nail a perfect lap.
2015 Merc's strength was the engine, not the chassis. Ferrari won in technical tracks like Sepang and Hungary, RB should've won in Monaco if not Ricciardo's botched pitstop. So it wasn't that surprising for them to get beat in Singapore by Ferrari.
But this RB is an entirely different beast. Unstoppable up until now. So to me, it is not a coincidence that both RB are out of Q2 as soon as the FIA clamped down on flexible body parts of the car.
It looks like the repeat of last year's TD39.
You mistaked 2015 and 2016 Monaco race
Mercedes was the fastest teams in Monaco 2015
In Hungary the Mercs looked like once again the fastest team (front row locked out). Slow start and crashing with Ricciardo made them fell behind (Hamilton and Rosberg were closing the gap to Vettel lap by lap)
agreed (bolded area)
yep (bolded area)

It's not how start but how you finish.
The new regs have hampered red bull.The ferrari pu the best in the business.A ferrari victory is on the cards.Well done to ferrari and the drivers.
What the ****
Leclerc got 3 place grid penalty for the same incident back in Monoco, how the **** that Max with the impeding on Tsunoda only get a reprimand ???
In the FIA documents it said "...it was noted that the representative of car 22 chose not to attend the hearing"
This is rigged
Great quali performance from both drivers, shame Charles couldn't make it a front-row lockout, good to see RB on the back foot for the first time in ages. Russell can be pretty aggressive and with NOR and HAM behind them, our tyre deg will probably be the problem as Merc also have extra mediums to play with. Hoping for a good, clean race.
That’s what it’s 50-50 at the moment. Baku is little similar to Singapore. RB were fastest in Baku & Monaco along with Ferrari.
Hence I’m surprised RB being very slow here. Literally struggled all FP’s. But on the other side, on Friday their race pace was very quick atleast from Perez. Hence I want to give one more race to see RB’s performance with regards to new TD.
Both Red Bull were out in Q2, something is definitely different with this car since the TD. This is not the same car that won all the races this year.
I hope this turns around the season because this was getting boring with Verstappen winning all the races. We will see if Red Bull start eating it's tires tomorrow, it could be indicative.
It will be interesting race and hope for both our guys to finish on the podium.
One more race after Singapore and that will determine if the FIA directive on flexing etc has taken its toll on red bull.If it has then carma has caught them they threw ferrari under the bus when ferrari was a rocket in 2021.That FIA directive to ferrari hurt big time.
Ferrari never had a rocket in 2021
In 2019 we were quick cause we cheated ( some would say we had something innovative, but in essence we were cheating by tricking the fuel flow meter) hence why we had a quick car cause we were using more fuel
And in 2022 we also had a quick car at the beginning but it lived to be short due to TD39
It it’s funny how the FIA quickly jumped and introduced the TD39 in 2022 just after a few races, yet this year with red bull took them 13 races to implement this TD after they pretty much won both championships....
