Sebastian Vettel has simply dominated the Singapore Grand Prix and never really had any competition for the win. Second placed finisher Fernando Alonso was more than 30 seconds behind, with Kimi Raikkonen another 10 seconds further down the road.
Exactly...I think that the RIC's car even retrieved the very same lap the SC came out...That think was annoying to watch...This overtaking rule is total BSrssh wrote:Also what do you think about the stupid Safety car Scene . Wasn't RIC's car cleared within 2 laps? Overtaking lapped car is seriously stupid they should move over to the end of the grid and save the extra 2-3 precious race laps.
It wouldn't be so bad if the Marussia's were actually fighting with anyone, but right now even Caterham were nearly a lap up on them so they aren't even worth letting by.Poleman wrote:Exactly...I think that the RIC's car even retrieved the very same lap the SC came out...That think was annoying to watch...This overtaking rule is total BSrssh wrote:Also what do you think about the stupid Safety car Scene .

Hamilton was squeezed out of track, i don't quite see why he has to slow and give up his inside line advantage for the next corner just because he went outside the track limits. He went there because he was squeezed wide in the first place.komninosm wrote: I want to see video of Hamilton pushed outside the track by Massa and getting told to give position (probably there is audio of team FIARARI complaining we didn't get to hear) and also why Hulk(?) got one too (they didn't show this even once).
Regarding Nico (Hulk) and Perez, I think it was more clear cut. Perez dived to the inside, and while both drivers were struggling for grip (and being respectful to each other) there was the slightest of contacts which pushed Nico wide and out of the track. Hamilton vs. Massa is an open argument but Hulk was hard done, he shouldn't have been asked to give the place back since it was the contact that pushed him out of the track.
If i remember, this was the same thing last year. Singapore is a track you cruise until something happens then you use the pace in the tyres. No one wants to push mid stint. They all keep their cards to their chest until something happens like a safety car or a midlfielder pits. It's a game of who blinks first. We can thank pirellis for that.lillschumi wrote:I think Merc is to over-cautious with pace on hard tires. Seb clearly showed that the hard tires had more pace in them. Just before pitting Merc easily increased pace.
I actually think these Pirelli tire is BS, it´s a farce seing all driver "cruise" for 40 laps, no one dares to push more which makes everyone over-cautious. If the safety car hadn´t come (or all did the same pit option under SC) the race would have been so booring, it would have been cruise for 60 laps.
what about webbers starts from first row and clutch problems? staring from first row and ending sixth, seventh or eight after first corner is same as mechanical failure.LionKing wrote:From 2010 to 2013 so far:
Vettel: 6 mechanical DNFs (5 of them from lead, he lost another 2 wins due to mechanical problems but still finished in points)

Mark has always been a bad starter notoriously all his career. Once he qualified 2nd and he was 15th into first corner....radosav wrote:what about webbers starts from first row and clutch problems? staring from first row and ending sixth, seventh or eight after first corner is same as mechanical failure.LionKing wrote:From 2010 to 2013 so far:
