Verstappen will get passed by everyone in 5 laps at most, he's not gonna block anyone for long.
Are you sure. I’m not
Unless sainz gives him DRS every lap he's toast.

Don't know why the safety car was even used. Smh
Tbh I think it's not a terrible call, a VSC could have been better. However, the only way I can think of is that they deployed the SC to ensure that there is no small debris all around the track as Logan was driving with that broken wing for many parts of the track.

Redbull hoping for a second safety car. Look uout if Lwason mysteriously crashes!
I have not seen RB do Imola Russel/bottas type crashes to get their driver back in the race.

I think Charles held up the pack too much and he/the team didn't consider the fact that all the other teams would stack too. Probably would've been better if he maintained the back he had to George and wait for a second or so behind Sainz.

Oh well, he's lost a place anyway now...

Redbull should have started on tge medium. Not sure why they did hard first.

Judgeing by the redbull on the hards, the hards wont last for the front runners. They will need to pit again.

If Max couldn't pass Carlos on the straights in Monza, I don't know if George is passing in Singapore.

It's genuinely weird seeing the Red Bull setup being so off for this season. Max and the team have been absolutely bulletproof so far which makes this even more surprising.
