SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2022

- Pierre has a big fire on his way into his garage in FP2

- People skimming the walls everywhere

- FP3 is essentially rained out

Qualifying

- more rain and the track is wet

- out in Q1: Bot, Ricciardo, Ocon, Albon, Latifi

- Out in Q2: Russell, Stroll, Lil Schu, Seb, Zhou

- Lots of drama at the end here where they told Max to abort his last two laps of Q3 and he was furious on the radio and they said it was because he was going to run out of fuel to sample but it was suspicious

- Charles on pole, then Sergio, then Hamilton so that’s weird

Race

- rain delay for a full hour and then they let them run around on the wet track to dry it out for ten minutes and it is finally going to start

- Rain race in Singapore is a crazy idea

- Max is starting from eighth

- Perez gets ahead to the lead in the race start

- Sainz pushed hamilton off track at the front lol

- Max has a bad start because it almost goes into antistall and loses places so is trying to make up for it

- Hamilton gets on the radio and says I told you about these tires and in future you need to listen to me LOL

- 7/62 Latifi has a puncture

- At the same time as Latifi, Zhou parks it and yellow flag

- So yep Latifi drove Zhou into the wall and put them both in the wall but then Zhou is out and Latifi and continue

- Full safety car to clean up Zhou

- And when Latifi pits he is unfixable and is retiring

- George and Valterri have a little touch and George ends up spinning but they both continue

- 21/61 Alonso stops on his 350th race and retires for engine problems! He was holding up max in 7th and then his car just died and now there’s a vsc

- Yuki nearly crashes and then is in the middle of the road stopped and nearly takes out Stroll too

- George pits for slicks and it is WAY too early and everyone k re this and he already did this one other time this season so I have no idea why GEORGE did that except that he’s so far back in like 17th cause he was going nowhere so maybe nothing to lose but he is not going to be able to stay on these

- 26/31 Alex crashes but is able to get it out of the wall and head back to the pits but he has no front wing and it’s left in the track and it triggers virtual safety car and Alex has to retire

- 28/61 Ocon pulls over and is smoking and there’s oil coming out of his car and retires and there’s a virtual safety car again

- When it goes green again Max went a little prematurely before the vsc had ended to pass Lando

- 33/61 HAMILTON CRASHES in an unforced error but then takes it out of the wall and is driving around with his front wing about to fall off and is holding off max and then hamilton does put and have a slow stop to charge the wing

- Pit Charles but has a long stop

- 36/61 now YUKI crashes at 80 mph into a barrier and it triggers a full safety car and damaged the barrier

- Now everyone is putting for slicks

- Maxy puts a move on Lando and locks up and goes straight on and has to pit to last

- Perez safety car infringement

- George drove into lil Schu and had puncture

- WoW this is really one thing after another

- Charles is so close to first behind Perez for the last 20 minutes

- Sergio Perez investigated after the race (even though he’s in first) for safety car infringement

- Sergio wins!! Charles in second and Sainz in third, Max finished seventh
