Hamilton's dad couldn't be more proud when he was on the podium.

Riccardo nice and relaxedView attachment 35168

RIC must've got one them new fangled backpack helicopters to travel to events.

... and the drivers championship gets nice and juicy.
Bring on Suzuka.

 

[moa999]

Looking forward to Suzuka.
Arrive in Nagoya Thu night after a few days in Fukoaka and Hiroshima.

Anyone else over there for the race?

Not me. (lucky bugger)

I didn't expect to see Singapore Girls on the podium. :mrgreen:

I thought trackside advertisements for both Singapore Airlines and Emirates was unusual. Would have thought they would have negotiated exclusivity.

Hope you enjoy..
Was fortunate to be trackside for the race last night in SIN. Wonderful event in very civilised surroundings. Spectacular footage from around the track.
Class event & Hamilton was exceptional throughout.

What was it like up there?? Does it cost exorbitant amounts to go into the stands or can you see the cars etc from other parts of the city??

I imagine all the hotels cost a bit that would have any vantage point, just thinking about booking some flights up to Singa's for next years race???

The stands are pretty good, but you do get what you pay for.

Autocar, a serious motor sport magazine, says Alonso is almost certainly leaving Ferrari for Mclaren next year. So who'll take his place at Ferrari?.

Weren't rumours saying Vettel?

Weren't rumours saying Vettel?

He's under contract till 2016 with Red Bull, though thought to be favoured for the seat then. In the meantime Jules Bianchi or Nico Hulkenberg might step in, but I wonder if Ricciardo wouldn't seem better value than Vettel right now?

 

[Flashback]

But just to fuel speculation even further... with Max Verstappen getting a drive with Torro Rosso in the Japanese F1 this weekend, prep'ing him for entering in 2015 then perhaps Red Bull is going to experience some movement.

 

[Flashback]

Oh no.. a lock-up and crash in P2 for RIC.

 

[NFF]

Mercedes will dominate this weekend.

 

[moa999]

Not Hamilton

Good choice turn 1

Well SeatBackForward you must have a hotline to Maranello. Vettel is joining Ferrari next year.
Team principal Christian Horner said Ferrari had made Vettel "a very attractive offer."

And RBR may have been happy to release him from his current contract. It would not be a pleasant workplace if/when Vettel is the number 2 driver.

Alonso must be leaving then. It would be good to see McLaren-Honda on the podium again.
