I think we have a very strong race car. No nasty surprises, hopefully.

"Very happy to start on pole. It is very important here. It is important to keep this first place after the first three corners. Seb will be very quick, but I expect Lewis to be very, very strong. It's not going to be easy... "

- Charles Leclerc

Singapore is the longest race on the calendar in terms of time, often coming close to the race time limit. Add in the air and track temperatures, humidity and the fact the paddock stays on European time and it is a melting pot of factors, all of which could come into play.

Expect plenty of breathless comments on the radio and quite a few sweaty brows in the post-race interviews...

[Giallo 550]

Let's go!

[vcs316]

There is a swarm of mechanics around the back of Leclerc's car right now, looking concerned. They are strapping the Monegasque driver in though, so hopefully the last-minute glitch has been sorted...

[tifosi1993]

Gasly on hards, will be interesting to see how far he can go and his pace after a couple of laps.

[WS6TransAm01]

Seb has a good look a couple times. Almost.

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc driving very gingerly, Very fast in Sector 1 but very cautious in Sector 2 and 3

I wonder if he's trying to make Hamilton cook his tires.

I hope that is really what LEC is upto!

[Giallo 550]

The kid has very good racing intelligence. Let's see what happens.

[tifosi1993]

I wonder if he's trying to make Hamilton cook his tires.

He did his best sector 2 and 3 on the very first lap, after that no a single green sector. BUT always a purple or green in sector 1.

[tifosi1993]

Lap 7

Leclerc 28.832 42.893 37.845 1:49.570

Hamilton 28.962 42.960 37.685 1:49.607

Vettel 29.094 42.561 37.594 1:49.249

Verstappen 29.272 42.355 37.472 1:49.099

[WS6TransAm01]

We need to get rid of either this track or these tires. This is nuts.

[tifosi1993]

Dani Ric, incredible driving.

[KimiBot]

so this is Hamiltons payback from Monza

[tifosi1993]

Finally a green sector 3 from Leclerc : 37.172

[Giallo 550]

Really seems like Leclerc is toying with him.

[FerrariF60]

no Merc fake pit stops yet...how long b4 we see one from them??

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc clearly upped the pace 1:48.303, another green Sector 3, 36.637

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc back to turtle mode last lap 1m49.0, lap before 1:47.8

[Lesky]

Why is this thread almost emtpy? Is it because they are just strolling around in like a train?

[SilverSpeed]

Ha bets are on when will taxi's fake again ?

[TonyRizza]

[Giallo 550]

Great stop!
