I have a feeling HAM and ROS will have a coming together tonight, 1 of the Ferrari's wont finish, and a top 4 finish for both Redbulls (even with the straights!) ......OR......HAM and ROS will nearly lap them all!

EDIT: Enjoy the broadcast everybody....and remember its on FTA for those without Foxtel.

And racing!

Ok, I am incorrigible.

Not an unexpected start really. Surprised someone managed to get spun around! Some people just can't be helped.....

One of the benefits of being laid up at the moment is that SWMBO couldn't guilt me into going out for a walk :mrgreen:

Thanks for the heads up with FTA.

Good to see hamilton drop back....

It will be sad to BUT go. A true gentleman on and off the track. Others could learn from his example.

Sabbatical apparently, But once Stoffel has shown his talent they wont drop him in 2018 to give Button another drive. Button should retire and go join Webber in WEC.

Blasted Italian television. Did they not notice that RIC and others were in the pits after VET?

great to see Lewis have a cough start, will make for an interesting race. still a merc-fest with Nico out in front. but then again, that's what everyone else said when Vettel won all those years for Redbull.

.. and Schumacher with Ferrari.......

yes, Flashback, agreed. I can remember rolling my eyes during Quali many times with MS, but trying not to speak ill of the .........
just rolling eyes at Redbull, with putting Supersofts on Daniel's car, and expecting them to last. hoping so anyway. he's such a nice boy, have had some wonderful chats with him over the last few years, so much more friendlier than Webber who was always cranky after Vettel beat him all the time. although we were at Monaco in 2012 for Webber's win there, so that was a major thing for us

Fair enough though - if you kept getting shafted for Vettel you'd probably be a bit grumpy too!

Great pass by RIC to then pull away nicely from BOT. No surprises in the race, people ended up finishing more or less where I thought they would.

P5 baby!! Singapore should be a lot more #DR3 Friendly and hopefully he can get a clean sweep and not a Monaco repeat.

SIN is definitely more of a RB track

 

[KLN]

did Sing in 2010/11. was great fun, but just super expensive. mind you, I haven't even book Malaysia yet for this year seeing though it's out of sync from usual. have done KL 8/10 years, but still not sure about this year. we're not even doing melb in 2017 for the first time since 1999, so maybe it's time to try some new races for next year

Alonso laughing on radio about potential for[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]Grosjean to pass him, was hilarious.. https://streamable.com/mnfx

Watched on FTA for the first time this season since Melbourne.

It's a pity the F1 race got in the way of all the advert breaks. :evil:

 

[JessicaTam]

Damn. Damn. Damn.

I pottered around the house this afternoon, and have just settled down with dinner. I thought I would double check to see what time tonight's Malaysian race starts ... Only to find it was this afternoon! :evil:

And looking at the results it was the race to watch.

Aaaaaagggghhhhh.

 

[k_sheep]

Any race with Vettel and Hamilton retiring is a good race - Danny Ric taking the prize is just the icing on the cake!

 

[hummel]

Good to see Dan get the win and really good racing by home and Ves. 4.5hrs of formula 1 coverage today. Phew!

 

[Coops1]

It was a great race to watch...need to make sure we post in the thread before the race and turn on notifications to ensure a heads up. Was there in Sepang 18 months ago, would have liked to have gone back this time around, but not to be.
