Live Commenting: Singapore - The Race

We saw plenty of incidents during qualifying yesterday, but it didn’t leave us with a messed up grid like Italy. However, there are still plenty of things to keep an eye on - the first corner being the most important. Will Massa keep ahead of Hamilton? Will Hamilton go all out to get past his arch rival? Will Raikkonen play a part in any of this? Which of the mid-field runners will tangle together?

So many questions, and just a short hour to go before we find out. It looks as though all the rain predictions will not come to fruition, which I am personally grateful for. The marshals seemed to struggle with simple accidents, and rescue missions, so I dread to think what would happen if there was an extra variable of rain as well.

If Kubica and Raikkonen don’t finish well this race, then their championship chances will be all but over. BMW never said winning a title was part of their goal for this year, the single win is enough. Kubica, however, wants to keep on pushing, get to the top, if he can. I’m not hopeful, but this race will really prove one way or the other.

Another driver to watch out for is Vettel. It will go one of two ways: either he will be able to keep the pace up and make a nuisance of himself in the championship battle, or we will see him falling through the pack and mixing it up with everyone else. Either way, he’s one to watch.

Talking of watching, here are few links that might be useful:

More available on the F1 on the Internet page.

Please let us know where you are, how you’re watching, and what your predictions are, and don’t forget to make full use of the Live Commenting Live… Thing.

    I think there probably need to be more calls. People calling in about F1 more than just for the competition.

    I mean Ollie, Stephen, Doctor Vee, Lou, any many more could call in if arranged.

    and just watched the in-car from Massa yesterday. I dont like the bloke, but that really was some lap. I couldnt see anywhere where he could have gone any faster. Methinks Lewis might have his work cut out for him today……….

    You just have to put up with it. When I was editing the Toyota mag I’d often have to fly over to do a presentation – land at 9, check in to hotel at 11, suit up and yak-yak in the afternoon, then fly back the next morning. It was a bit like staying up at Le Mans.

    Staying out longer is tougher because you wake up in the middle of the night, then immediately after breakfast your body tells you it’s time for bed. Ugh

    I have always found it worse going East than going West - so no problem when I go to LA from SA but when I return I am a zombie for week. Last time I stepped off the plane mid morning, felt fine went to my work in the afternoon (had a meeting to attend) said I would see everyone the next day - and accidentally slept right through the next day!

    Worked in the industry, it is a worry. If a damper starts to leak oil across the piston seals then it’s a serious issue - means that corner will not damp the bumps the same way each time. Even worse is the gas escaping.
