Facts from the previous race
Lewis Hamilton dominated the Italian Grand Prix weekend, taking his 59th career victory and 69th pole position. The latter, of course, is a new all-time record for any driver in the history of Formula One.
Hamilton’s victory means he is alone at the top of the points standing for the first time since this point last season. However Sebastian Vettel is only three points behind with up to 175 still available.
As has been the case since the V6 hybrid turbo era began, Mercedes were untouchable at Monza. No other team has led a lap at this track since 2014, and Mercedes finished first and second for the third time in four years. At the chequered flag the closest non-Mercedes was 36 seconds behind.
The only session not headed by a Mercedes was final practice, where just seven drivers set times in extremely wet conditions.
Just how wet was it? Felipe Massa set the quickest time with a 1’40.660, which was the slowest session-topping lap seen at Monza since Jacques Laffite took pole for the 1976 race with a lap of 1’41.35. This was the first year after the addition of the chicane before Lesmo.
Hamilton’s pole was his eighth this year, meaning he needs just one more from the remaining seven races to win the pole position trophy again. It was also his sixth in the Italian Grand Prix which is a new record, one more than Ayrton Senna and Juan Manuel Fangio. This was Hamilton’s fourth win in the Italian Grand Prix, meaning he can equal Michael Schumacher’s record of five next year.
The exact order of the grid was a matter of considerable confusion owing to the large number of penalties imposed. Nine drivers shared a total of 150 places of grid penalties. This is the second-highest number of penalties seen at a race: at Monza two years ago 168 places of grid penalties were applied.
The penalties cost Red Bull what would have been their strongest starting positions of the year with second and third for Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. Lance Stroll inherited Verstappen’s place on the front row and broke his record for being the youngest driver to start there by 23 days.
Second place on the grid for Stroll was a huge improvement on his average starting position of 14.8 prior to Monza. He lowered the record for youngest front row starter to 18 years and 314 days.
Esteban Ocon also achieved his best starting position to date with third. Inevitably he and Stroll slipped back in the race, which allowed Vettel to finish on the podium for the tenth time this year.
They were also demoted by Daniel Ricciardo who made up 12 places from his starting position to finish fourth. This is the third-highest climb by a driver this year, all of which have been achieved by Red Bull’s racers. Ricciardo made up 14 places from the start at Silverstone and Verstappen gained 13 at Shanghai. Hamilton, in contrast, finished where he started for the fourth race in a row.
Ricciardo also set the fastest lap of the race. This is the ninth of his career, putting him level with Denny Hulme, Ronnie Peterson and Jacques Villeneuve.

And what does that have to do with driving?
Here's hoping Loooois bogs down and gets Hulk SMASHED straight up the exhaust. Hell he'd probably enjoy it.
P.S. Six second split across the grid on a dinky, mickey mouse street circuit is not healthy to say the least.

Fun qually to watch. Dan sounded pretty confident in the cars race pace. Interesting to see how it pans out.
Jamo, I'm getting the feeling you don't enjoy F1. Perhaps watch some other racing series? I'm not trying to be intentionally inflammatory, and I get where you're coming from in comparison to years gone by (and I somewhat agree). Not just this post but the many others. F1 has changed, and it's ok not to like it. I'm just not sure why you persist watching and posting negative comments about it.

They're all having trouble keeping the ultrasoft tyre in right temperature window over the lap, because it's only at its best for about 90% of a lap. If they warm them up too much on the warm up lap they'll be cooked by the end of their qually lap. Likewise if they hold back a bit on the warmup lap then it'll be rubbish for the start of their lap but good towards the end.
The Red Bulls were looking after their tyres better than everyone else so they could push for the whole lap, but Ferrari and Mercedes had to manage the tyres more more. Kimi was super fast in the first sector but rubbish by the time he got to the 3rd, whereas Vettel was fairly consistent over the whole lap. Lewis wasn't getting the info on his wheel so he didn't know what state they were in.

Rain in Singapore atm. They're predicting the start of the race will at least be wet/damp.

Bernie finally got those sprinklers installed by the Singaporeans.
Mayhem & bedlam for sure on a wet street circuit, with the crown of the road every corner is off camber at some point.
Honda FTW!!!

Hahahaha, what a joke.
Alonso the innocent bystander after a typical Nando start.
Our Dan is a chance but I doubt Loowis will let this gift horse go easily.

Re: 2017 FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX
Can someone explained to the god fearing tattooed fuckwit that the safety car isnt an F1 car, and therefore, cant go faster. How many times have we heard him bitching about the speed of the safety car? Is the retarded attention whore paid by the word?
As for the start. Some people are reacting as if no one has ever moved across on another driver at the start. Jesus. I am not saying it wasnt a mistake from Vettel, but it was a racing incident, that put him and 2 others out of the race. Possibly fucked his WC hopes. Possibly punishment enough. No one has mentioned Max leaving the door wide open for Kimi.
Fernando hey, maybe karma for all the shit he has been dumping on Honda? LOL

I'd put most of the blame on Vettel, he wouldn't have known Kimi was inside Max so Max couldn't move across any further but he was on a trajectory straight into Max, not smart at all and probably has cost him the championship.

I think it's ok to squeeze it it's a dry start but a wet start is asking for trouble as you don't know who got the better start. That's much more amplified when it's wet so maybe they should all hold their lines better when it is wet.
