Interesting :) Crazy how much one of the greatest drivers of all time totally lost it when his car wasn't on form. Flexy wings? They didn't have them said Mr Horner, the man who also said Helmut wasn't a RB employee this week. There's some seriously slow cars ahead of Max and it was only thanks to Perez that he was so far back so we'll see what happens in the race. Max wasn't on it all weekend so I don't think he'll win, I'll take anyone else :)

Doubt it's much to do with flexi wings and would almost be too soon to see how much of an affect it would have on their car. There were concerns all season from them/Max about Singapore and it seems they were proven right.

Most likely a blip in their season and will bounce back at Suzuka.

No Stroll 'still sore'. Too late for someone to step in. I probably won't bother to watch it now.

Shame. Hopefully one day they’ll find a driver for that seat.

Wonder if Lance will quit and go play tennis after this year?

I am :)
I know they were out of sync but loved seeing those Red Bulls getting mullered after the restart.

Wow, very, very clever from Sainz. George pushing till the end, 1st or nothing. Two Brits on the podium. Enjoyed that. How were RB so bad?

Cracking race..Great result..
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

That was incredible, can't say I have any sympathy for George :lol:

Great recovery from Red Bull, all things considered.

Fantastic drive from Sainz.

Still miraculously ended up with a good result. Although that was mainly down to tyre offset. Even when they get it wrong something is still shining a light on him.

There was some great bits, definitely highlights of the season. But 2 thirds of that race were as bad as Monaco.

Yup, it was obvious Hamilton had the edge over that last stint. They should have been swapped as soon as they were together. Russell needs to stick with being the no.2 driver.

Agreed there but knowing his cockiness and arrogance, he wouldn't settle for that.

That was fun!!. George still has to mature a bit. You don't score points when you're in the wall. If ordered to swap, he would be wise to comply. He is an employee, not the team owner. He can be replaced [by Oscar Piastri}.???. That might be fun too.!!

And massive Kudos to Lawson, for scoring his maiden points at Singapore, which no one has done before.

Think the most tears award has to go to Alonso this time around?

I, for one, would like to see Lawson stay, and Ricciardo take a break. Seems there's a good few talents still out there be had. A points finish in Singapore, considering how little he's driven F1 is phenomenal.

And yes it does but when doesn't he complain. Perez was also horrendous, again

Speaking of whom, has a 5 second penalty. Which drops him from 8th to... 8th. Wow, that was worth looking at wasn't it.

Seriously? He punted Albon out the points and he got that. What a joke.
