That was almost painful to watch.

 

[Xando]

Rosberg driving into the pit looked hilarious.

 

[olore]

Cool to see the boot-up sequence of the steering wheel, but sad that he can`t continue.

 

[brotkasten]

Lots of cheering, when Rosberg came in. Goddamn.

 

[navanman]

That was sad.
Feel sorry for Rosberg there.

How many sets of the Super Softs do teams have left?

12 (SS) - 24 (SS) - 36 (SS) - 48 (Soft)

With the SS tire being ~2-3 seconds a lap faster I'd be on them all race but the final lap if possible...

Absolutely everyone used at least 2 sets in qualifying though, so no one has any more fresh sets left. Well, Hamilton and the Red Bulls might.

 

[nny]

And that's that.

 

[Psychotext]

What a farce.

 

[DieH@rd]

Such a painful pit stop...

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Chris R]

Did Rosberg get Lewis' steering wheel by mistake?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rosberg's pit stop procedure sounds dangerous.

I don't really understand why they kept him out when they had an excuse to retire the car. Maybe they thought they could fix it during the stop.

 

[theignoramus]

Tough luck for Rosberg. Merc needs to get on top of its reliability issues.

Well, this was steering wheel connector issue, which are quite rare, but they can happen.

 

[malyce]

Yeah, as much as I'm rooting for Lewis, I'm gutted for Nico.

 

[ramparter]

Wolff's agent sabotaged the wrong one.

 

[Chris R]

Now we need a Daniel win with a Lewis podium. Just tighten up the championship!

 

[massivekettle]

The crowd... wow.

Lewis kind of slow now, though.

 

[muteki]

Needs a windows boot screen.

Feel sorry for Nico, not how you want to end a race weekend.

 

[aspiegamer]

So long as he wasn't lapped yet if they could theoretically get everything working and wait for the inevitable safety car, so, yeah. And apparently they'll go back out to troubleshoot and pray that 15 cars retire.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Ark]

That was a really unfortunate retirement. Nothing he could have done, awful stuff. If Hamilton does win this that'll create the biggest showdown. God damn.

 

[DrM]

Or Daniel in the barriers so Vettel can undercut Lewis after SC pit stops?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Can't help but feel if Hamilton wins this, he'll carry the momentum all the way to the title.

 

[massivekettle]

Who knows? Mercedes did the right thing though, especially for his gearbox's sake.

 

[Milchjon]

LOL at RTL explaining the concept of timezones.

 

[Shaneus]

Yeah, I have to say I'm not as happy as I thought I'd be with that retirement. Very much a shame for Rosberg.

 

[brotkasten]

We need some on-track action. This is getting boring fast.

 

[aspiegamer]

Can't help but feel if Hamilton wins this, he'll carry the momentum all the way to the title.

Nico has only out-raced him straight-up once the entire season (Austria, and barely). I'm interested to see how things will go if Hamilton can get the win and effectively restart the championship.

 

[duckroll]

\o/ ROSBERG DNF!! \o/

 

[Zeknurn]

Singapore usually delivers but this has been pretty drab so far.

 

[Leonsito]

Even after this I have to keep hearing shit about Rosberg.

Being a Rosberg fan this year has been awful, even here where I thought F1 conversation was very cordial.

 

[killer_clank]

Hamilton being god with fuel usage yet again.

 

[ramparter]

Can't help but feel if Hamilton wins this, he'll carry the momentum all the way to the title.

With how this season has evolved I can't say that anymore. I felt like this when Lewis started winning race after race til Monaco.

At least if he wins it will be the first time he leads the championship.

edit: wrong me, he was also leaing after Spain for just one race.

 

[Xando]

welp thats the race for today. unless lewis gets problems there no way anyone but him wins.

 

[Cuddler]

You don't remember the hate for Vettel already?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Man, Gutierrez seem a little bit pissed off XD.

 

[brotkasten]

Hamilton being god with fuel usage yet again.

Massa, Bottas and Button all used 2 kg less fuel than him.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Has there ever been a good Singapore GP? Maybe Crashgate for the whole drama, but this track is a total snoozefest.

Welcome to being a Vettel fan the last 2-3 years.

 

[Xun]

It's a shame it happened, but Hamilton really needed a DNF from Rosberg to catch up.

 

[Mohonky]

Well he wont be on jacks again....

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Not a good for Pit stops.

 

[tHoMNZ]

He just sealed his fate in the oblivion of failed/finished f1 drivers

 

[Xelis]

Need that front jack man gifed lol.

 

[Psychotext]

Looks like Alonso wants a bit of Vettel.

 

[malyce]

Nico has only out-raced him straight-up once the entire season (Austria, and barely). I'm interested to see how things will go if Hamilton can get the win and effectively restart the championship.

There's still 1 or 2 DNFs up for grabs before the season done. Nico also saved an engine, so if/when penalties come into play, he's in a better position than Lewis.



Looking like Lewis may snatch his 2nd Grand Chelem this weekend.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm sure there will be a seat in Formula E for him.

 

[massivekettle]

Massa, Bottas and Button all used 2 kg less fuel than him.

What? Lewis used less liters than everyone in the top 10.
