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.

Teams will always try to stop less here. There is a massive pitlane time loss. Upwards of 27-28 seconds.SiLo wrote:Will teams want to run fewer stops because of the threat of a safety car? Wonder if we will see some different strategies?
Or in fact, some will try, but fail - which, from a "show" perspective, is exciting.SiLo wrote:Think we might see some boring racing then... When they are all preserving tyres it's boring.
Lotus? Interesting, considering they've gone rubbish at every other smooth tarmac circuit we've been on this year.godlameroso wrote:I see the Lotus and Mercs being equal to Red Bull here, hell we might even see a competitive McLaren. This tracks surface is so unique that it might level the playing field except for 3 or 4 turns. The better driver will win this race. We might get a drying track during qualifying session.
This is by far the bumpiest track of the year, whereas Monaco and Canada have incredibly smooth surfaces that allow the diffuser to work very well. Singapore in contrast has jarring dips and bumps and no amount of resurfacing can cure it, this makes it harder to work the diffuser. The team with the best internal aero and suspension will shine on this track.raymondu999 wrote:Lotus?

Oh topographically it's bumpy. But the tarmac itself is smooth (as opposed to abrasive tarmac). While from a topographical perspective those with more benign aero should shine here - we should be mindful of the fact that whenever the tarmac itself been smooth - the Lotus has been rubbish.godlameroso wrote:This is by far the bumpiest track of the year, whereas Monaco and Canada have incredibly smooth surfaces that allow the diffuser to work very well.
