We’re back to a hot and humid race, so qualifying is all important to try and make Sunday that tiny bit easier. Listen to today’s F1 Digest to catch up with who was in the wall, and who was out in front.
Free Practice 3
Raikkonen and Fisichella both struggle to get to the end of the session, with the Force India mechanics having a lot of work to do. Meanwhile, Alonso showed that Renault are heading in the right direction.
Qualifying
What qualifying session would be complete without a championship contender almost failing to get through to Q3, a pit lane controversy and a couple of drivers in the wall? These three Singapore sessions had it all.
Conclusions
It seems there were three specific problems today: tyres, traffic, and the kerbs. Every driver was affected by at least one of these things, and they’re not afraid to tell us how they feel about it.

I’m still lost with the Heidfeld penalty. What exactly did he do wrong?

Had he sped up to get out of Rubens way, he would have been fined 10,000 euros for not
decelerating properly.
The drivers can’t do anything right…

It’s a good point. I’m not sure, but I think we’ll see more of it in the race.

The FIA need a new condo in Boca?
It seems they are grabbing money as much as possible lately - from crazy fines, to Super Licence fees rising to outrageous levels.

rubens meets nick:
nope, i can’t fathom out what the guy was supposed to do either?

Not defending the pit entrance at all, but I wonder if Nick was a little bit wide coming round that last corner. Rubens looked ready to go round him but found a BMW running into the middle of the track.
What do you think?
