2012 Singaporean GP - Marina Bay

[ParanoiD]

I'm expecting something big from Red Bull here. They've been quiet since Silverstone... Newey must be busy with those French curves

didnt see him around much as well

Qualifying will decide the championship.

If Alonso manages to get in the first 2 rows , then his fast-starting ferrari will challenge for the lead even before the first corner.

I was bored and checking out standings. I think the person who wins Singapore (among top 4) will win the championship.

Oddly, I think Singapore may be the worst indicator of the championship of the remaining races, it's pretty much the odd one out, other than Abu Dhabi.

Singapore – stop and go, 90° corners, lots of traction zones.
Japan – fast, flowing, high speed downforce
Korea – a mixture, but mostly dominated by high speed downforce
India – a similar mixture.
Abu Dhabi – similar to singapore, lots of stop/go and 90° corners, though bigger straights
US – fast, flowing, high speed downforce
Brazil – fast, flowing, high speed downforce.

So we have 5 tracks that are mostly high speed downforce limited, and 2 tractiony ones remaining.

Singapore is very deceptive, as you mention yes it's mostly stop and go and acute angle corners but like all Tilke tracks there is a variety of corner types, and certain combinations stress a cars aero efficiency.

Oh no I don't expect that they're dead at all. But you have to admit their development stream has gone quiet since Silverstone.

Ray, come on dog!!! I was referring to those That are writing them off. I have a little more respect for you than to suggest you were!

I have a strange feeling of Deja Vu. Haven't you and I had this exact same conversation a while back?

They can run a Valencia config minus the important low speed torque engine map

They?

Just a nice photo I tinkered with. Makes a great wallpaper.

Don't forget the alternators go screwy at low RPM...
