    The grand prix starts today. I can not wait anymore. Tomorrow we will be ready to support our boys. We have to understand where Red Bull are in the grid because they believe they can win. Well, that pole in Monaco also makes me believe that they can win. But we should remain optimistic. Let's see if it rains at first free practice at 16:30 with their time.
    Today Kimi was at the press conference. Quiet as always and with its classy answers. But I didn't like it when he said that "I drive only a car" was perhaps sarcastic. I hope. But if he was serious for sure, Leclerc would have been a Ferrari driver since today.
    It makes you laugh that those of Sky Sports F1 Uk have posted that Kimi drives only one car and have taken 4 thousand "like". From here we understand that at least 4 thousand Hamilton fans believe that Lewis won the world championship after this sentence by Kimi.
    Let's see how the Mercedes are with the Hypersoft in a circuit so long because in Monaco they had problems. I'm sure Ferrari has done the right thing with 9 sets of Hypersoft and only 2 sets of Soft. Last year in Monaco and Singapore qualifying, Vettel was 3 tenths quicker than the fastest Red Bull. While this year in Monaco Ricciardo was 2 tenths faster than Vettel. I hope it will not be the same here.
    I wish Carletto Leclerc a good debut here in Singapore. Now he needs support in the last 7 races before taking the big step on Ferrari.
    I hope that when I write tomorrow I will be happy with the results of the reds. Maybe I will start when the practice are over. We have to believe in our team. Come on guys

    Ps. I want to thank MrF355 for letting me know that I can only post in English.

    If Ferrari is beaten here they are done. Tremendously important weekend.

    First it was China, Spain, Canada and then the British Grand prix where if they were beaten then the season was over. We have 7 more races left, so yes every race between now and the end of the season is extremely important.

    Captain Obvious with the dynamite drop in.

    Surely you're smart enough to realize that this is one of Seb's best tracks and it suits our car. LH already has a 30 point lead. If he wins this that will be nearly insurmountable. So yes, most important race of the season as I was saying...

    Yes I agree. This is a track where Ferrari traditionally is very strong, as are the red bulls. Vettel HAS to win this race, and ideally needs Kimi and one of the red bulls (if they make it to the end) ahead of Hamilton. Lewis finishing ahead here spells disaster for title ambitions, as point difference will be 37 pts minimum. With Mercedes impeccable reliability record that becomes tough to overcome, and some tracks suiting the mercedes very well.

    You can stick a fork in Vettel, he is done for the year--you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face.
