FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2025.....Race...............▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

What were your thoughts on the F1TV telecast? I can't believe I'm paying money for this trash.

Nearly 60 laps of watching nothing but Lando chasing Max for 2nd place.

They couldn't have given us several laps of Kimi chasing Charles? We missed the overtake, and they gave us a 1 second replay with a horrible camera angle.

Alonso somehow got by Bearman and Sainz. I'm still not sure how it happened. Did I miss something? And couldn't they have shown that for a while?

When Hamilton was put on Softs and was flying, couldn't they have shown him for a while?

After the leaders crossed the line, the race was still ongoing. Hamilton had lost his brakes, and Alonso was chasing. Couldn't they have cut to that for a while?

Yes, a generally boring race. But they didn't do themselves or us any favors by ignoring ALL other story lines. There are 20 cars in the race. It could certainly be made more interesting by occasionally showing us other events occurring.

 

this comment is quite comical

 

Here are some facts: The stewards reviewed the incident…during and after the race….and determined that no action was required.

 

That's not what I was talking about, it was about the slow pit stop that, when impacting Norris is "corrected" by the team, and when impacting Piastri, is considered (rightfully actually) bad luck that requires no action. I do not deny the fact you mention, it has only nothing to do with that. Slow pit stops are not reviewed by the stewards.

 

At least they had Elton

 

wait a minute, what? Who bumped into Norris? Look at it again. Norris makes a deep dive on Piastri, then goes deep, hits Max, then Norris hits Piastri. There is no-one bumping into Norris. Norris is doing ALL of the bumping.

You are the one missing full context. Full radio:

"Oscar is under threat from Leclerc, are you willing to let Oscar pit before you?"
"Yep...err no, I wouldn't''

Lets get things straight here. Fighting for the title Lando did the right thing. He was being selfish.

What you do not seem to understand is that people are annoyed with the extremely obvious one sided papaya rules thus far. Poor Lando gets a bad pitstop? Swap positions immediately. Sudden change in pit strategy after Piastri already committed, giving lando crucial track position? Deal with it. Crashing into Piastri to gain position and not swap back as per the Papaya rules?

Piastri on the radio was pointing out the obvious. The papaya rules are dumb as **** and the only one they should've had was ''don't crash into each other, or we will pick a favourite and you two deal with it''. Piastri should never have agreed to the Monza position swap, but he played the team game because surely then, it's 100% equal for both when the same will happen to him one day? WRONG.

The good thing about this is that this will light a fire under Piastri and he'll now do the same things being done to him. He'll be selfish and he should absolutely treat Norris as just another racing driver. It's not his teammate, he's a rival. Shove him out of the way if he needs to. It's clear that suddenly it's allowed now.

And boy do I hope it goes back to bite Mclaren in the ass.

 

Angry. Or was he told his seat was gone already. He is out of time. He lacks any consistency or significant improvement.

Okay, fair enough, but neither your post nor the one that you were replying to mentioned the pit stop, so I’m not sure how I would have known that.

Anyway, my comment in general stands: With respect to the NOR-PIA-VER incident the stewards determined that there was no infraction. Fanboys need to get over it and Oscar needs to, in the words of Joan Rivers, “Grow up!”

As to the mythical “papaya rules” McLaren has already wrapped the WCC so the rules seem to be working in the team’s favor. In my opinion neither driver is WDC caliber. The cars have carried them to this point, so I hope Max wins it by out driving the field with a less than optimal car. That would be fitting: Best car wins WCC, best driver wins WDC. Nothing not to like.
