Alonso becomes the first ever driver to complete 20,000 laps.

And sometime in the Singapore GP (assuming no DNF), he'll become the first F1 driver to drive 100,000km.

[selvam_e2002]

He is the first driver to beat RB unstoppable streak in F1 this weekend.

Do we expect upgrades this coming weekend?
At least, the revised engine cover should be back.

Since many weeks a new front wing is rumoured, let's see if it's true.

They've said they would continue with development at least. In 2022 if i'm not mistaken the last updates of the year were introduced in Singapore, we'll see if they do the same or bring more the next races

Yes you are right. Though I don't remember the "every race" part, did he say that?

I don't think that will fly.. changing materials isn't enough as Tombazis has made it clear that it's the mechanism to allow flex in certain directions itself, unmeasurable by static load tests, that is outlawed.

The flexing mechanisms used this year already were hidden by the teams using rubber seals.. but the FIA are wise to it now. Not sure how changing materials can get them around this

It seemed to be that Horner fired an indirect at Aston when he talked about rubbery noses on other competitors.

I think so. But that's what happens when you get close to the front of the grid

surely they would have been aware of the rule change beforehand since they got told months ago to change the wing?

To give Lance some hope, his two biggest chances of finishing ahead of Alonso (at least in qualifying) will be at Suzuka and Abu Dhabi, at least to end a poor season on a slightly better note.

why only the two chances?
