It's crucial that Lewis gets a good start, the Ferrari is really quick from standing starts.
Could be interesting race.

Agreed. The starts have not been great for the Mercs. Wondering if Kimi & Seb with be 1-2 after the first corner.
Either way I'm looking forward to the race. Might even have a few beers. I know how to live eh?

Enough now. Mercedes engines for 2018 please.
I'm getting really sad, and I'm never sad.
It is looking more and more like a possibility.
Great race, unfortunate that Kimi had BBW problems.
Force India need to have a word with Perez as he potentially cost them a podium imo
That's a shame, you'd enjoy it.
I was lucky enough to attend the Singapore GP back in 2011 on business. Landed on the Thursday and then worked with media for three extended days from Friday lunchtime through including until 05:30 (am) on the Monday morning. A very enjoyable and exhausting weekend for sure.
Snapped this one in the paddock..
Yep, I've booked with them. The £1400 quoted is just the start.............
Oh, you want to fly from Gatwick rather than Heathrow +££
Oh, you want an ocean view + £££
Oh, you don't want to be in the engine room + ££
Would sir like to upgrade the grandstand seats? + £££
Ended up at £1868 pp. Mustn't grumble, rather pay a bit more for better cabin & grandstand seats. Using Gatwick is a shorter journey & flight times from there means that we don't need overnight hotel at the airport which we would have needed at Heathrow.
edit:-
I also had a quote from a very good travel consultant we have used before so she may be able to sort you out a deal. She was using same cruise but with a balcony cabin, 3 day GP tickets from a different supplier, same Singapore hotel, different flights, base cost was £1899 before discussions on downgrading the boat cabin.

Wow, that sounds fab.
TBH, when I said 'we just missed out' it's not something that would be suitable nor attainable. More of a dream. But thanks for the info.
Hope you keep us updated near the time. I'll bet it'll be a great experience.
We went to Silverstone for GP in 2013. I wanted our daughter to experience the V8's before the new regs came in. Her reaction when the first car came belting around the corner on the main straight was worth every penny.

^ It was a good one. Pity Hamilton had headrest problems or he would have walked it.
Bottas coming from 20th to 2nd driver of the day for me.
Vettell needs a smack. To only get a 10 sec penalty for deliberately driving into the side of Hamilton is ridiculous.

Vettel threw it away with that shameful display
I never thought Bottas would pip P2!

I TOTALLY enjoyed every minute of that race. Happy for the top 3 drivers. Love the Fun Guy persona of Danny Ric.
Lewis was naughty not accelerating out of the corner. Seb should know better than to react like that. That silly (intentional) move could have ended one or both of their races, or even worse.
Even when interviewed he was in denial.
Shame that more races aren't as incident packed as this one.

Vettel also received a 3 point penalty on his race licence giving him 9 so far, 12 points in 12 months equals a one race ban.
Lewis did nothing wrong, as race leader he has the right to dictate the pace of the re-start, also, the Stewards looked at his race telemetry, Lewis hardly varied his speed at the same point in a previous lap and he did not brake.
It was entirely Vettel who was at fault and his arrogant and petty behaviour brought him the penalties.

Fernando said on team radio 'it's a shame because we could have won the race'
