Dragger has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
To me, the FIA requiring each car to run BOTH compounds per dry race is a stupid idea.

Then having one compound a 5 lap qualifying tire, required to run during the race after qualifying on it, pole sitter pits on the 2nd lap of the race... Really??? FIA/Pirelli have got to fix this problem. They want the softer tire to be quick and degrade, but this is just ridiculous!

I new Grosjean was good but that was an outstanding performance in India.
That was a good podium today. All 3 drivers seemed to enjoy themselves instead of the usual one bag of sour grapes up there.

Bravo to Sebas for the dounut and fence climb. Awesome.

The thing that saddened me was when Vettel was catching Perez for second place. McLaren got on the radio and told Perez he was not racing Vettel and to let him through so he could conserve his tyres. WHAT!!???

I don't want to watch the car in second place pull over to let another driver, from a DIFFERENT team, past without a fight! This is supposed to be RACING!

Same here (dunno if it's my age), but an eye infection, medication and difficulty viewing the positions may have had a bearing.

Yeah I thought it was funny, all season Perez doesn't hesitate to fight and even make contact with his own teammate, but a Redbull? "Let'im go!"

The tyres are just laughable. Just proves that dicking around for the purposes of entertainment reduces the sport to a farce.

I confess I felt exactly the same when I heard that. Yes, I understand it, but Jeez, that's what F1 has come to......

TV companies spend millions and millions of pounds on HD TV cameras, helicopters, fly by wire cameras, fancy graphics and other technology to give us live stunning pictures in amazing clarity. Fans spend hundred or even thousands of pounds on fancy back-lit HDTVs that give the most crystal clear pictures ever available.

And the race is held in dense smog.

I watched the race live and I went back on-line to finish my Tesco grocery list after the 2nd round of pit stops or was it the third round?

TBH, the season is overly long and when there is complete dominance of a driver/team it becomes tedious, not that is necessarily the fault of the driver or team in question.

As for tyre changes after two laps? Give me a break. C'mon, get the compounds sorted please, why make it so complicated?

Its just another car park with white lines painted on it. Very few of the newer tracks are actually any good. Singapore, whilst not a great layout, is at least a challenge having the walls so close etc.

Well done Grosjean. Driver of the race by a mile.

And the highlight of the race for me was this:

Kimi was very wrong to do that to Grosjean. Stupid even.

It worked perfectly well during the CART/CCWS era but hey I'm going off topic.

I agree Sodemo, but I quite like the pattern the lines a are painted in!

Can't argue with BJ though, I too love (not merely like) Laguna Seca!

The corkscrew is one of the best corners anywhere, and I love elevation changes in circuits!
