2017 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand PrixFormula 1

So much for Mercedes' power button.

-

Vettel with a monster of a lap.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

And we've cracked the 1.39-barrier

 

[Dennisch]

And there is the extra oil in the Ferrari engine.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

And Ferrari has chucked the sand bags over board and goes all out now.

 

[zzz_pt]

Amazing to see RBR on top. This has been great to see.

And again, a good opportunity to see the quality of McLaren's chassis. Glad they'll have a Renault engine next season.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

This looks like it could be a V8-era flashback. Ferrari v. RBR all over again.

 

[Clark]

That pole could be key to Vettel winning the title.

 

[Dhalism]

I wouldn't be surprised if Vettel got pole, Ferrari and Mercedes always seem to have a bit of extra pace in Q3.

I hearby dub you sir Eddie Jordan

 

[Lord Kacperov]

And Vettel has secured pole! Verstappen is second, and Daniel is third!

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Boy are we in for a good one tomorrow. Singapore deserves a proper send off.

 

[niky]

For anyone who's ever doubted whether Vettel was worth the money... scrapes the paint off the walls, yet is five-tenths up on his team-mate and beats both of the supremely quick Red Bulls.

Hamilton makes a good go of it, but nearly seven tenths up on his team-mate is still only good for fifth.

 

[Jimlaad43]

That pole could be key to Vettel winning the title.

Doubt it, we're heading into a lot more Merc circuits that Lewis should spend nibbling the points back. It'll do well to make the championship last longer though.

Absolutely - Mercedes have said all season that their super-long (in comparison) car is going to struggle in Singapore, I should think they're comparatively happy to be in the top six today, and at least it puts them in the money seats when the Safety Car lottery begins.

 

[Tired Tyres]

That pole could be key to Vettel winning the title.

No likely. Ferrari were always going to be strong here. The remainder of the season is based on which track suits the Ferrari and which suits the Mercedes.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Seb looking at the Red Bull and saying they stole a component is hilarious. I love the humor and levity with the Top 3.

Will Buxton to Ricciardo: Do you have quicker race pace?
Ricciardo: Yes. *huge grin*

 

[BrainsBush]

Although we knew Mercedes struggles in SIngapore I did not expect the gap so big. On the other hand if their long stints and pit strategy works out well they could surprise us? Great quali by Vettel but still wondering how he suddenly found 0,5 seconds. SOunds like a bad loser, well actually I am Q1 p11/12 and Q3 p1? Strategy or (conspiricy) magic?

Tomorrow will be an hopefully epic race. Max and Daniel will keep their heads cool during the first lap and then one of them wins! (said Max to Dutch reporter). Victoire for RedBull

 

[Leadfoot530]

The reason why they found so much time is the same in the case that Mercedes finds huge amounts of time in Q3. Don't show all you've got until you need to. No need to go all out until you know you can get the pole, and as was stated beforehand, Ferrari has the advantage over the Mercs this week, so they need to capitalize on that as much as possible.

Red Bull may be closer this week, but once we get to places like Malaysia or Mexico, I still can't see them holding a candle to the top two.

There was some oil left after the Porsche race. All the front runners went on a single run earlier in the session and the track improved massively from then. You could see how crazy the Q1 results were.

Vettel vs Verstappen tomorrow. Gonna be spicy

 

[Spurgy 777]

Vettel vs Verstappen tomorrow. Gonna be spicy

My guess will be that Vettel will win fairly comfortably.

 

[Carbon_6]

My guess will be that Vettel will win fairly comfortably.

Wouldn't be surprised he does so in the same fashion as 2013 and 2015.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Wouldn't be surprised he does so in the same fashion as 2013 and 2015.

And 2011. In fact his dominating performance that year took him to within one point of being the WDC (Button fell 124 behind with 125 remaining).

Vettel vs Verstappen tomorrow. Gonna be spicy

It depends. Ricciardo will be putting pressure on Verstappen, hopefully RB will moderate that fight to allow Verstappen to pressure Vettel. If not I don't see Verstappen troubling Vettel too much.

Not sure why I forgot to mention that race.

I honestly doubt Max won't have any issues during the race. I mean, it seems like he has the same amount as luck as Felipe Massa does, and the 30 second world champion isn't exactly that lucky in the first place.

I'm predicting that he'll be out of the race before lap 30.

So in 2015 we had a man on the track, in 2016 it was a visit from Godzilla and a marshal sprinting for his life...

Kinda hoping for another 'Singapore-silly' to happen, but I can't imagine what it could be this time.

 

[Furinkazen]

in 2016 it was a visit from Godzilla

The Roland Emmerich iguana, yeah.
