Think he just made a slight error under brakes...small error into a corner with 0 run off = broken car

cheers dezz

and ctjet you are right about these street circuits, they are nothing compared to Spa or other real race tracks.

[ctjet]

bourdais for the drift of the session

not looking forward to a dry race

You wouldnt include good ol' Adelaide in that equation though would you?

Good, that means when Hamilton has his monthy brain-fade, insted of gliding over bus-stop, he'll smash his mac into some tasty concrete...

Oh, btw, monster lap by Fernando to get P1 at the end of second practice.. Lots of people spinning/loosing grip on the final two turns... I hope it rains here, it will be awesome..

Practice 1 starts at 9pm on http://www.soccer-live.pl/ITVF1/f1player.php

Here is an interesting article about the team costs, it shows how pathetic Toyota/Honda are and how well RBR and TR are punching above their weight.

Props due for that link.. Thanks.

I love the track. Lots of sharp direction changing and low margin for error

Plus it feels huge and has a grand setting.

Any mistake costs seconds on this track and i like how it goes under overpasses etc

I bet the echo around singapore city at night would give all those in the know goosebumps!

Alot of mistakes in practice, should be interesting to see who holds concentration and mechanical functionality through race distance.

Killer lap by Fernando, If only he was in a Ferrari!

Massa better step up or step aside.

Bitch slapped by Alonso ! again.

That's gonna piss of the "Caribbean" countess !

Hot track, hot homo,poor front tire's !

I think he will cook his front end and drop the ball,Ferrari 1~2 with kimi Not letting massa past !

Unless it rains, then loise will lap himself, or would have if.... or maybe.... yawn !

Unless fezas new found wet weather performance shows itself ?

Unless big nose splits em ? Go Kubi !

Anyone else got a prediction ????

Its funny, some seem to love it, some loathe it. I dont mind the track. I think its an absolute ball ache of a track to drive with some technical parts which will see a few drivers takign lots of kerb trying to get a run....still not convinced its going to present us with hopeless racing. I think there is hope yet

Its a good track for watching the violent drivers like Kubz

[Eug]

keen to see how aggressive that little punk hamilton will be without some nice run offs.

[knore]

lol the world Anti-Lewis foundation is just getting bigger and bigger.

I hope massa wins and kimi finishes ahead of lewis. (For the constructors points)

Would be the ultimate rub in for ronnie dennis to loose the championship again.

Its crazy to think its been a decade since mclaren won a title.

So what do they do? Get a sure thing by hiring the double champion and then end up alienating him and putting their efforts with the rookie.

I guess ron got what he deserved. And if mclaren doesnt win a championship soon, we all know where the mistake was made.

Wouldnt it be ironic if lewis wins the drivers but ferrari win the contructors?

I think ferrari will be alot stronger assuming the temps stay warm. Apparantly they have sorted their wet weather issues.. It was actually their brakes, not the tires.

And i hope its a dry race or maybe slightly wet. If its full wet there will be no race at all.. There is such little grip with walls surrounding you everywhere.

Personally i dont care who wins the title. I just want it to be a fight, like it was between alonso and schumacher for two years.

F1 should never be easy, winning a championship especially. I think lewis has it too easy having the entire mclaren supercorporation to cater for his every need and no team mate to challenge him.

Or LH.

You seem to forget that "Rookie" was hosing FA every second GP. No-one not even the most die hard fan would have ever thought that was going to happen straight out of the box.

You can argue whatever. Its a fact. The two time ( or is that two - timing ) champ and everyone else for that matter, was getting hosed by a rookie.

Now if you were RD and you were flinging checks at a kid his whole life because you thought you saw something special I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find it hard to know where you're ultimate allegiance will go.

In your investment.

RD cares a lot about championships but hes won plenty. FA was a liability in the grand scheme of things when shit hit the fan.

Follow the money...and in that case the better driver, lol.

I still lol at FA and his dummy spits because out of everyone who chucked their toys out of the pram the hardest at the way LH basically handed everyone their asses last season, it was FA.

And look where he ended up.

Outcast, stranded and in a crap car.

He deserved it for having the temerity to think he could blackmail a guy who was making GP cars when FA was crapping steamers in his diapers.

No respect = no respect.

*waits for inevitable and venomous backlashing to begin*

*rubs hands and stretches fingers*

[wolverine]

the Koooooobster was more entertaining to watch behind the wheel.

like a kid with ADHD and a new playstation game.

[m3gtr]

*feels deflated*

Good call, you hit the nail right on the head.
