2022 Singapore Grand Prix - Marina Bay, Sep 30 - Oct 02

Me neither. The hard tyre looked something like 2s slower in the longruns on Friday compared to the medium.

[chrisc90]

The hard is so slow
Can't see it being used ?

I know its not really representative by what we have seen so far but, but image shows the best times so far.

[Spoutnik]

I think a two stopper like S-M-S (or M) can be nice for Leclerc/Perez in front to keep track position

For those starting from further behind (Hamilton, Verstappen or even Sainz) starting on M to extend and wait for the SC, then put the M again, and finish the race with a light car, ruberred track, and lower temperature on soft.

Alonso should try the one stopper, Russell too with his usual luck

Whole new PU for Russell. - Back of the grid start.

[Sieper]

Yep, they already spoke about doing that yesterday, now it is a reality.

There will be overtaking. This track always has overtaking, especially on offset tyre degradation.
And if it weren't for the driver and team errors redbull would be on pole by half a second. So the car is still dominant.
Max can do a long first stint on the mediums to get into clean air, and that should set him up nicely.
As for Ferrari, I am not predicting anything from those guys. I just wish them the best.

If there is rain.. the race should be exciting. When was the last time that a race had rain here?

What are you basing this assumption on? The FP sessions where RedBull didn’t look the fastest, let alone by 5 tenths? Or rather the majority of the qualifying sessions this season where it was an F1-75 in the hands of Charles on pole? I’m really curious

This forum would be a better place without having to read such nonsense created out of thin air.

I guess you didn't actually watch qualifying, Max was 0.9 up at the end of sector 2 on his final lap.

[chrisc90]

Previously used ICE and components changed in the back of Max's car. Wonder whats gone on there. Unless they putting a higher mileage engine in due to his starting position and keeping the fresher ones for better tracks.

Ringo’s point is that all anomalies eliminated, the RB18 would have grabbed pole by half a tenth.

This video just shows that Max would have gotten pole because he was in a good position on a massively improving track. In such conditions everything is just a snapshot really.

Read the post I just wrote Sevach…

On Checo’s car, number 11. Plus a lot of radiator parts. Maybe the engine ran too hot?

Possibly.

Correction. It was in back of Checo's car. Not Max's.

could even come with an advantage for him. I don't think teams normally use their best engine for Singapore?!

edit: Perez already had engine problems on Friday, btw, but that normally would not be the same engine as yesterday

Same situation as in Hungary. Faster car on a "Ferrari track". Lost the pole due to exogenous circunstances.
