That Gulf car is sweet and I love that blue color so much.

It’s weird to see Red Bull dealing with some adversity. Could lead to an interesting race tomorrow!

I love Singapore. The night race on a road course is just so cool.

Doh, it's Saturday, I forgot. Vacation is messing me up. I think this is my 2nd miss, not like it matters this year. Massive sophomore slump.

Oh, and it's not car racing but next weekend we're at the SailGP race in Taranto Italy..I'm curious to see if the in person races are as good as TV. These boats are freaking fast.

Super jelly.

Seeing that live is on the bucket list.

This is bizarre watching the field stream by the Red Bull.

[KelVarnsen]

This is setting up for a great finish

[KelVarnsen]

That was impressive from Sainz

[DoubleK]

Poor George

[Flabbibulin]

Loved Sainz calling his shot and saying he was bunching them up on purpose. Awesome way to utilize DRS of those behind him.

[Karl]

Perez you utter knucklehead.

Ya, have to think Perez’s days at RB are numbered.

[dammage79]

Verstappen pulling out a 5th place finish is more impressive to me about today's race than anything. Why did the RBs look so back in Singapore? Are they not good on narrow city circuits?


IMO two seats up for grabs are Stroll and Perez. I don't even think Daddy can stop his team from moving on from Lance, in fact I think even dad is now understanding if they want to get to the top, they'll need another driver

[KelVarnsen]

Without RB this season would be so much fun.

Yes pretty impressive. Red bull got very unlucky with both those safety cars. Bit of luck going the other way, Verstappen might have reached a podium (provided George still runs out of talent). Another lap and he would have passed Leclerc for P4.

RB were expecting issues at this track for them from the beginning. I don’t think they would be as bad as they were though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lawrence looks to sell in the near future.
They took a big step forward this year, I’m sure he’s made a nice return on his investment.
Sell now, take the money, and don’t have to worry about letting Lance drive.

Just catching up on the post race coverage.

Bernie Collins has been a tremendous addition to the coverage, I could listen to her talk strategy for a very long time. Very good pickup by Sky.

[Fuzz]

Now if they could drop Danica and Nico...

[bizaro86]

Liam Lawson is now 1 point behind Tsunoda after having 3 races. Obviously some luck involved with that (ie Russell last minute crash) but a good result this week for him.

Be interesting to see who gets those seats for 2024.

Forgot to get my pick in
