Sainz the "DRS dealer", outwitting both the faster Mercedes cars (fresh medium tires) by giving Norris a DRS tow for numerous laps. The accidental 'cooperation' between master of ceremony Sainz and assistant Norris made them secure P1 and P2 (WDC and WCC points). Both knew that they were sitting ducks with their old tires when faster Mercedes cars were hunting them down, but managed to defend their track positions with team work. Without DRS tows it would have been a sure-fire P1-P2 for Mercedes (unlikely that Russell would have made the pilot error he impatiently made during the final lap - he would have already passed both Sainz and Norris prior to the final lap).

Look at the Ferrari's, on the 30th lap on those hards, they fell off hard. We'll resume normal Dutch/Austrian Anthem next weekend for sure.

The Ferrari is now extremely fast everywhere . Monza with low downforce and Singapore with high downforce . Ferrari has found more power with the new PU and turbos. Yes , the Ferrari cooks the tyres very quickly by the extreme power , but in Qualifying Sainz was 1.5 sec. faster than MAX . In F1 terms , 1.5 sec. is a sea of time .. Yes I agree . MAX is best of the world in the rain and very likely the best ever in the rain ... 最強が勝ちますように

Qualifying also doesn't award points or wins. They'll be fine next race, it wouldn't be worrying if their race pace was behind, but this race showed that was not the case. Last year Max got pole in Japan and the win against a competitive Ferrari.

This is back in 2015 when Mercedes was winning everything, and then singapore GP came, and they were 1.5 secs slower than pole It's a weird anomaly with this track that makes fast dominant teams, slow. Then next race came and they went back to normal service.

I like looking at data
I wanted to find out why RB was so slow in qualifying too, then I looked deep into it and found out Mercedes had the same exact issue and they didn't know why. Only for next race, they gapped the entire field by like 30+ seconds. I also watched mostly the laptimes in the race and Max was basically lapping the same as the top 4 on hards, until everyone else got new hards, then he went on MEDs and was lapping as fast as the mercedes, if not a tenth quicker.

Red Bull knew in advance that of all race tracks, Singapore suits their RB19 the least of all. I predicted maximum P6 or P7 for Verstappen. Considering Ocon and Russell DNF, he finished P5. As the race progressed, more rubber on track = improved grip (after FP1 and FP2 most rubber was washed away by tropical rain - FP3 and qualies were tricky as regards grip). Next week down at Suzuka it will be back to the order of the day for them. |

Never the less one of the best races of the year and congratulation to Carlos Sainz To be honest there has been times in the past I didn't think he had this in him. |

The new upgraded Ferrari PU and turbos work really well for him . Don't know what's going on with Charlie .. Or is Ferrari just playing it safer with Charlie's PU with less of ponies ?
