Max for the win or a crash.

Agree + Vettel something or a crash

In the past 9 years, except for twice (2012, 2015), the winner of Italian GP has won the Singapore GP! If that trend continues, Leclerc can win this race.

This will be the last chance for RBR to get pole & win by pure pace in 2019.

Not really. They'll get pole and win in Mexico, I am pretty sure of that.

Did they not get pole in Hungary?

"to get pole & win".

But why? Mexico?

Yes, but no.

Red Bull have been competitive in all races since Austria, meaning all forthcoming races could be a potential ''pole&win'' combo, especially now with the updated PU.

Are RB really a shoe-in for Mexico? Seems to me Merc are at least on par in terms if chassis/aero, barring cooking limitations they've been encountering. Hopefully we see more Max/Lewis duels at this track and there.

Well Merc did bring the update in Germany to counter the heat but even if they don't struggle like in previous years, I don't think they can challenge RB. Chassis is irrelevant, it's the altitude that kills them.

Yes, but no.

Vettel will take him out in the first corner like he took out Kimi and Verstappen a few seasons ago
and blame the halo

[TAG]

It's getting round that time when we start talking about when Hamilton clinches the deal. Still working on my cup of coffee, so. Anyway, that Mercedes is going to be sublime to watch this weekend.

Or maybe we will have changing conditions and all top class drivers will lose control and we will have a surprise winner against all odds.

With Mercedes having put so much of effort in building race pace, which was obviously evident with Lewis being on tail on almost all the recent GPs, it would be interesting to see what Lewis can do if he is not starting from pole. It would be foolish to not bet on him getting a pole, due to their superior slow corner performance, but it would nevertheless be interesting. Hungary offered a glimpse of Mercedes race pace and an impeccable strategy with which Lewis could hunt down Max on a track notorious for lack of overtaking. Singapore is notorious too in terms of lack of overtaking and it would be interesting to see what Lewis can do. With both championships almost having been wrapped up, the only interesting spectacle is to watch Lewis hunting down drivers ahead.

Does C5 (Softs) even last a whole lap, considering the energy that would be put in them around this track and the higher ambient temperatures?

This would be the last round of car updates for the leaders, as they would have to move all of their resources to next year's car. So, it's pretty much this is the last that we could watch car updates. Most other stuff would be next year's developmental parts that teams would run in free practice.
