I think the overcut was the way to go if he could get the hypers to last that long

Their fans are not very happy with them on Twitter.
Who's fault is the boredom aspect then if not their own?

Many said that was the most intense quali lap in the history of the sport.
True that Singapore is a procession - much like Monaco. It's not in the calendar for it's overtaking, but exciting it is from the precision driving and safety car aspect.
That's the Italian way. Fair weather supporters.

LOL, you guys are sounding like Ferrari supporters.
It's not inconceivable for Hamilton to have 1 DNF and come second in the remainder of the races. If he wins another two on the other hand, it's a lot more sure.
IIRC everyone was saying the same at this point last year.

Ferrari fans are hardly fair weather. They once waited 21-years for a driver's championship and continued to pack Monza.
No doubt that they're getting frustrated as this looks like the 11th successive year without a driver's title, but never fair weather.

I take it the first round was in happy hour as the price differs by a few $.

Force India team principal Otmar Szafnauer says that Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon won't be allowed to race each other after their first lap contact in the Singapore Grand Prix.
The pair touched on the exit of Turn 3 on the first lap when Ocon tried to go around the outside, and his teammate moved over and put the Frenchman into the wall.
Szafnauer felt that the Mexican could have left more room.
After past incidents, Szafnauer had reminded both drivers before the Belgian GP – where they both started in the top four and the revamped team was restarting on zero points and a good result was crucial – of the importance of not coming into contact with other.
"I didn't remind them here, maybe I should have done," he told Motorsport.com. "But they know it now, and again they're not going to race any more if they can't do it.
"There wasn't any room, Checo should have given him room, and Checo had plenty of room.
"Esteban put himself in a position where if Checo moved over, he couldn't do anything about it. But your teammate shouldn't do that to you.
"If it's another car, then you shouldn't have put yourself there. But if it's your teammate, you've got to have that respect.
"It's just a matter of fact, it is what it is. And next race we'll tell them the rules, and it won't happen again, it's that simple."
Regarding the FIA decision to take no action, he said: "They looked at it and said racing incident, and I'm sure it was, if they weren't teammates.
"But from my perspective, you leave your teammate room, the team comes first. And he had room to leave him."

Lol realize again why I don't visit these forums, so many hate against Vettel... which I believe is mere towards disliking him than being fair with your comments.
Anyways, as much as I dislike Hamilton, he sure is on a roll now and it will take a lot to beat him.
So bla bla away

Don’t think anybody here dislikes Vettel. His behavior sometimes is fairly poor though and that is certainly disliked.

Yep, his arrogance and sulkiness (and the occasional bit of cheating) annoys most people.

You must have missed the Hamilton hate in here. Plenty of that going around. Too many emotional supporters on all sides IMO.Lol realize again why I don't visit these forums, so many hate against Vettel... which I believe is mere towards disliking him than being fair with your comments.

We don't hate Vettel, we just hate people who dislike Hamilton
Joking aside I think most of us are here because we enjoy F1, taking sides will happen in any sport, but the banter here is generally light hearted and not hate driven.
