redbull showed good race pace. they ended up in 5th... they are not as slow as you think..

next race is suzuka which is a aero heavy circuit.. we will really see where the cars at

it was an amazing race... ferari fucked themselves again. Left too much gap for double stacking end up giving away positions and they should have at least pitted 1 car when virtual safety car come on

If Russell did not crash (I think he was 15+" ahead of Max) on the final lap, Max would be in 6th spot!

The 2023 Singapore F-1 GP has just ended.

It was a very exciting race once RB was removed from the  ...

Just noticed a typing error:

The next stop for 2023's F-1 race is in Japan, this weekend.

If we look back into history, chances of having a wet race are higher which is more excitement/fun for spectators & a test for driver skills!

2023's Qualifying Sessions of Japanese F-1 has been completed:

Max, Piastri, Norris.

Several things puzzled me:

1.  How come Max could improve so quickly after Singapore?  May be RB has an on-board on-off switch for the banned flexible wings, just like Benneton for the then traction control which it claimed that it was never switched on, which was of course a lot of bull!
2.  What happened to Ferrari and MB?
3.  How come MB can't even beat McLaren who used MB's power unit??????

One driver to watch out for & I said this many races ago, when this rookie first appeared on the F-1 circuit, & that's Piastri.  He even out qualified his more experienced team-mate - Lando Norris, who will start in 3rd spot.

The Race will start at about 1300  (our time).  Not sure whether there will be life telecast, try Channel 516 or 517, but check your local TV Guide.

For Brother rpm6969:

The above is ranking of past & present drivers, not sure whether it was based on opinion poll or not, but for sure it is based on number of F-1 wins which I don't think is fair & objective, though the "winner" is or close to what I have in mind.

Number of wins is definitely is not fair because these days F-1 races in one, yes one, is more than F-1 races (in the 1950s) in 3 to 4 years!  So, if there are more wins in one year, of course a good driver could accumulate more wins in a short time, & before retirement too.

To be fair, we must look at the difficulty & the years spent before getting into F-1.  Then, the years spent in mediocre teams (i.e. time wasted), driving style & behaviour on the track, performance in the rain & wet tracks, time spent on potential teams, & whether these teams indulged in cheating, etc.............

With all these taken into consideration, I will still pick Senna, and Hamilton!

it was a good race in terms of you can really see the pecking order of the cars

redbull dominating again. Singapore's shit performance was one off.

ferrai and mb was competitive. Redbull was just too damn fast
