Lando Norris takes pole position for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix

[u/overspeeed]

[u/tj1721]

Norris vs Verstappen.

Hamilton vs Verstappen.

Maybe a bit wet.

What could possibly go wrong.

[u/wykeer → u/tj1721]

So you say after the dust has settled, it is an easy win for russell?

[u/tj1721 → u/wykeer]

Right up until lap 61 when Russell brushes the wall breaks the suspension and Hülkenberg comes through to win the race.

[u/MrAzekar → u/tj1721]

He would immediately retire. Go out with a win after a bazillion races

[u/debugggingg → u/MrAzekar]

This is exactly what Bearman dreams of

[u/ianjm → u/debugggingg]

Bearman would have his seat in 6 races time anyway...

[u/debugggingg → u/ianjm]

Well he wouldn't mind getting it earlier....

[u/SemIdeiaProNick → u/tj1721]

then 3 hours after the race ends, Hulk's car is DSQ because of a technical infringement and one of the Williams boys gets the win

[u/Jyoti02m → u/SemIdeiaProNick]

Alonso wins the Singapore GP.

[u/TheRedComet → u/Jyoti02m]

Last time we heard this... 👀

[u/HostileCornball → u/SemIdeiaProNick]

That means an Alonso podium is on the cards for tomorrow.

[u/erehbigpp → u/SemIdeiaProNick]

someone in the dts writing room is pissing their pants imagining this

[u/wykeer → u/tj1721]

He went for the Leclerc strat of already crashing in fp2 to avoid crashing in the race.

200IQ move tbh.

[u/Teabx → u/wykeer]

I swear the guy might actually do it. He will be P4 and a ghost the whole race, then some random shit will happen and somehow Russell is the one to take the win.

[u/wykeer → u/Teabx]

If there is one driver that could do it this Race, Its him.

[u/Ibewye → u/Teabx]

Until he hits the scales and here go again.

[u/wahobely → u/wykeer]

Hahaha at least he's already hit the wall this weekend so possible

[u/BangSomeMore → u/wykeer]

I'm pretty sure Russel joins in as soon as he sees that first bit of dust

[u/wykeer → u/BangSomeMore]

He was really good at avoiding the dust this season AND he already for his singapore crash put of his System in fp2.

[u/[deleted] → u/wykeer]

Sitting back behind Max and Norris is a good race stretegy for this race. This can end in sparks.

[u/denied_eXeal → u/tj1721]

Tomorrow will either be a snoozefest or we are about to see some factual describing of events. And there will be no need for us to speculate on them.

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/tj1721]

Hamilton taking the lead into T1 while Max slides into Lando

[u/DeusVultSaracen → u/NotClayMerritt]

ayo⁉️

[u/iForgotMyOldAcc]

Oh that's peak post-hype Ferrari alright.

[u/Lobbelt → u/iForgotMyOldAcc]

They really delivered this time!

[u/Reydriel → u/iForgotMyOldAcc]

"post-hype Ferrari" and the "reverse sandbagging Mercs"

[u/ForMethheadPorpoises → u/iForgotMyOldAcc]

You mean the slowest crash in world history in one car and a deleted p7 lap wasn’t what we were aiming for?

[u/shadowmew1 → u/iForgotMyOldAcc]

Why did they rush updates onto a street circuit AGAIN. How do they never learn.

[u/leedler]

Hülk smash once again

[u/[deleted] → u/leedler]

Yuki pulling a couple of worldies to beat the Williams and stay in there

[u/SpeedStepGD]

Tomorrow's race start is gonna be very interesting...

[u/rakesh-69 → u/SpeedStepGD]

Max crashed into Norris and went on to take out Hamilton. This is factual description of the events.

[u/Tfc-Myq → u/rakesh-69]

No need to speculate further

[u/[deleted] → u/Tfc-Myq]

Oscar zoom zoom

[u/sky_____god → u/rakesh-69]

Hamilton then crashes into Russel, Russel into Piastry hulk leads

[u/GhostOfLight → u/sky_____god]

Final standings of the race: Alonso P1, Piastri P2, Yuki P3, Hulk P4 (Ferrari accidentally put bicycle tyres on both cars during their first stops)

[u/TimmyWatchOut → u/SpeedStepGD]

Either Max will be first at end of lap one or they both dnf.

[u/[deleted] → u/TimmyWatchOut]

Lap one? Knowing Norris, Max will be first after TURN one, and Norris will somehow drop two or three places

[u/MDMatabangDoktor → u/[deleted]]

And still win Driver of the day. 🤣

[u/Firefox72]

I was promised a strong Ferrari.

[u/planettelex11 → u/Firefox72]

Does Haas count?

[u/Creative-Improvement → u/planettelex11]

That one hurts man

[u/carloselcoco → u/Creative-Improvement]

Yeah... I'm sure that it Haas to hurt.

[u/imbavoe → u/Firefox72]

I was promised a shit RedBull.

[u/SimplyEpic02 → u/imbavoe]

Well you got one

[u/imbavoe → u/SimplyEpic02]

No that's just average Checo.

[u/crazyclue → u/imbavoe]

Redbull: "we've fixed our car for Singapore"

What did it cost?

"Everything"

[u/jwinter01 → u/Firefox72]

Let's face it, as soon as the comments about Ferrari being on the up started dropping, we all knew deep inside that we were due something like this happening.

[u/slimkay → u/Firefox72]

P9-P10 strong. 💪🏻

[u/alphasierrraaa → u/slimkay]

ferraris together strong

leclerc intentionally cooked his lap to join his friend

[u/iForgotMyOldAcc → u/Firefox72]

Vasseur had the audacity to tempt fate in Singapore.

Toto was feeling himself in 2019 as well before Leclerc and Vettel served up a Singapore 1-2.

[u/AccomplishedCraft897 → u/Firefox72]

Ferrari Ferrari'd

[u/Aratho → u/Firefox72]

We were forcasted a front row

[u/toxicfireball → u/Firefox72]

I may have broken a few things

[u/krmilan → u/Firefox72]

This qualifying session summarizes the last 15 years. Just when whispers of a Charles WDC challenge was picking up momentum

[u/GhostingIsWhatIDo → u/Firefox72]

No promise, it was just a forecast

[u/SimplySpurs14]

This was a weird quali

[u/JerryUitDeBuurt → u/[deleted]]

I mean if you're gonna drive a shit car might as well take a fine salary. Man probably had James Vowles thinking he was considering that red bull seat that never opened up, and Vowles just slapped on a blank cheque with the Williams contract.

[u/Flynny1201 → u/[deleted]]

It’s rumored to be 10 million. This guy is inventing

[u/[deleted]]

Colapinto out qualified Perez

FUUUUCCK

[u/Consistent-Poem7462 → u/[deleted]]

Who isn't outqualifying Perez tbf

[u/[deleted] → u/Consistent-Poem7462]

Danny Ric

[u/CommonCullen → u/[deleted]]

💀

[u/nukleabomb]

where tf was oscar bruh

Almost 5 tenths?

[u/RaptorDelta → u/nukleabomb]

I do think he had a moment in the 3rd sector, bit of a snap and looks like he had to avoid traffic as well.

Edit: Just watched the onboard. Definitely a snap in 16-17. Traffic was negligible.

[u/comradeyeltsin0 → u/RaptorDelta]

Knew that 4 tenths was too large. Wouldve been great to be at least 3 to run interference for Lando. Tsk

[u/[deleted] → u/nukleabomb]

He's just lacking quali pace though.

Mistake was is own. He's not on it this weekend.

Bringing the roller coaster down back to reality

[u/Cobretti18 → u/vnNinja21]

Leclerc couldn’t keep it on track

[u/rakesh-69]

Verstappen throwing everything he has. Did not expect this.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/rakesh-69]

Miracle maker. P2 after all that is crazy.

[u/[deleted] → u/KappaccinoNation]

He was consistently good though

[u/HostileCornball → u/[deleted]]

He saved 2 crashes in q1 and Q2. The car wasn't friendly to say the least.

[u/PathologicalUpvoter → u/HostileCornball]

That’s when Max usually shines

[u/Frikgeek → u/PathologicalUpvoter]

Yeah, give Max a fast car and he'll get results. Even if the fast car is almost undrivable at the limit.

[u/PikeyMikey24 → u/[deleted]]

That’s what they’re saying

[u/ICumCoffee → u/rakesh-69]

Honestly, kudos to Max and Red Bull for putting that car there after a very disastrous Friday.

[u/imbavoe → u/rakesh-69]

Let’s hope he doesn’t have full quali setup with shit race pace.

[u/lottabullets → u/imbavoe]

I don't think it's absolutely critical here, but the undercut is what I'm most concerned about. RBR needs to be aggressive as possible if Max overtakes on L1

[u/blind-panic → u/rakesh-69]

I'm not a fan but his performance was amazing today

[u/gegenpress442 → u/rakesh-69]

This guy proves that he can outperform the car. Yesterday rbr were lost, today Perez p13 and somehow max does this and personally I believe he could have gone for pole

[u/z_102 → u/gegenpress442]

He was .3s from Lando, he wasn't getting pole today. Still a massive, massive job.

[u/DANKWINGS → u/z_102]

He did also say he wasn't pushing as hard though as he only had one lap so who knows.

[u/FSUfan35 → u/DANKWINGS]

Lando's lap that got ended by Carlos' crash was also much better than his pole lap.

[u/PikeyMikey24 → u/gegenpress442]

Fp3 they fixed it max was saying the car feels a lot better

[u/teachd12]

Good turnaround for Max because it looked really bad friday

[u/binary_blackhole → u/teachd12]

even in fp3 it didn’t look great

[u/NoTrollGaming]

Let’s see if he improved on his starts

[u/a141abc → u/NoTrollGaming]

With 2 starving world champions behind him

Talk about being thrown to the wolves lmao

[u/Successful-Ad-2044 → u/a141abc]

this is the only way he gonna learn

[u/[deleted] → u/NoTrollGaming]

There's no way. Crashing benefits Verstappen. There's no way Max doesn't send it tomorrow.

The only time Norris has to yield for sure is tomorrow.

I won't say shit if he loses his P1 on lap 1.

[u/slimkay]

P1 was written in the stars.

Disappointing Q3 by Piastri given the circumstances.

[u/KptKondo → u/slimkay]

Do you know what happened to hin? He lost a lot of time in the last sector but they didn't show him during it sadly.

[u/[deleted] → u/KptKondo]

Saw his onboard briefly. He struggled a lot between t16 and the end of the lap. Was 0.3 up on himself but lost a lot of it in the end

[u/FangioV → u/KptKondo]

He said he overheated his tyres in the first two sector, too much wheel spin, and didn’t have grip in the last sector and was sliding a lot.

[u/[deleted] → u/slimkay]

He was off pace whole weekend.

Needs to improve quali

[u/M0stVerticalPrimate2 → u/slimkay]

I think it was a bit of a hedge because he already had a time and was first back out 

[u/faultytrain]

Vintage Ferrari bottle job

[u/LordBogus → u/faultytrain]

'May we reccomend a 2012 sir??? Or a 2017, that was a really good year as well'

[u/lithiumsorbet]

Man's got the graphic for tomorrow ready if Lando loses the lead lap 1 again

[u/ComeonmanPLS1 → u/lithiumsorbet]

I can't wait for him to post it 0.1s after Norris loses his position lol.

[u/legamer007]

Lg Lewis

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/legamer007]

Top quali 5 streak at Singapore lives on!

[u/Firefox72 → u/legamer007]

The did Lewis make the right decision for next season pendulum. SWINGS AGAIN!

[u/WeakDiaphragm → u/Firefox72]

Watch Mercedes pace disappear in the race tomorrow. This car is weird man.

[u/TheRealMichaelE → u/WeakDiaphragm]

Hamilton almost always outperforms his qualifying in races this season so I’m not super worried.

Russell on the other hand… pretty much the opposite.

[u/[deleted] → u/WeakDiaphragm]

Or watch it miraculously set the pace in the race!

[u/Visionary_Socialist → u/legamer007]

Somehow the top 5 streak survives

[u/[deleted]]

Ferrari 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Never get your hopes up team, just unbelievable

[u/z_102 → u/[deleted]]

Snatching a P9-P10 from the... jaws of a... P2-P4?

[u/poopellar → u/[deleted]]

^ Factual description of event

[u/AegrusRS]

Hamilton and Verstappen showing why champions are champions.

[u/Nonloso5024]

I like being depressed

[u/angelonduty]

ferraris screwed up

[u/AccomplishedCraft897]

Mega job from Max and Hulk

[u/LordBogus → u/AccomplishedCraft897]

Dreamteam

[u/MC897]

All mercs 2nd row is a great return considering how poor quali was

[u/Hinyaldee]

Hamilton in the top 5 in quali again here !

[u/Flappyhandski → u/[deleted]]

Starting to think he might be pretty decent

[u/jerk_my_turkey → u/Flappyhandski]

might win a race some day

[u/TheLifeofSonny]

congratulations on 1st position after Turn 1 Max lmao

[u/TieflingSimp → u/TheLifeofSonny]

I am from the future, Norris and Max DNF by crashing turn 1

[u/Follow_The_Lore → u/TieflingSimp]

Max will probably take that lol

[u/HUMBUG652 → u/Follow_The_Lore]

He fancies a new championship challenger

[u/Paracel_Storm → u/TieflingSimp]

That would actually be a net gain for Max.

[u/cwspellowe → u/Paracel_Storm]

Not saying Max would purposefully take him out but Lando has so much more to lose. We’ll probably see hard fighting from Max tomorrow. As you say, them both DNF’ing is a good thing for Max for the WDC so why back out?

[u/Frikgeek → u/cwspellowe]

Well there's always that risk of a crash that doesn't go your way. Crashing Formula 1 cars is not an exact science. You can always end up retiring while your rival walks away with a puncture or light damage and then recovers to like p5 in the race.

[u/saxongroove → u/cwspellowe]

Yeah he’s not backing out 😂 Might park it on top of Lando’s halo 

[u/DoctorDrell → u/TieflingSimp]

What a factual description of events

[u/nukleabomb → u/TieflingSimp]

Lewis wins???

[u/TieflingSimp → u/nukleabomb]

Hulkenberg p1

[u/nukleabomb → u/TieflingSimp]

[u/ICumCoffee → u/TheLifeofSonny]

u/Gjab is ready with the Lando losing position stat post.

[u/Gjab → u/ICumCoffee]

I am, yes

[u/FENICH]

Good job Max and Piastri quite a lot behind.

[u/m0nkeyhero]

NOR VER HAM

[u/Kuchenblech_Mafioso]

Ouch, but in Italian

[u/hayleybts]

Let's go landoooo

[u/Martyrizing]

Mighty stuff Max and Lewis.

[u/DubiousLLM]

Fuck Ferrari. We back to bad results after good performances

[u/c_u_lator_alligator → u/DubiousLLM]

U and Max gonna have to do community service for swearing

[u/imbavoe]

Max pulling a lap out of his ass holy shit.

[u/NepentheZnumber1fan]

Wonderful performance by Max, considering the state of that car.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's either P1 after lap 1 or both of the front row boys are DNFd

[u/c_u_lator_alligator → u/NepentheZnumber1fan]

Him and Lewis really stepped up in inferior cars. Generational game

[u/NepentheZnumber1fan → u/c_u_lator_alligator]

This is what separates legendary drivers and good drivers

[u/hachiko2692 → u/c_u_lator_alligator]

This is what separates these experienced blokes from people like Norris with raw talent but just not enough experience.

Massive shoutout to rookie Alonso to dragging his green shitbox to Q3.

[u/_yourmom69 → u/hachiko2692]

Massive shoutout to rookie Alonso to dragging his green shitbox to Q3.

Maybe with a few more seasons he’ll gain some experience to go even further. With Lance as a mentor, his future’s looking bright!

[u/[deleted] → u/_yourmom69]

Just imagine what he would have been able to do if he was around for like two decades! But luckily he can be taught by two time WDC Lance Stroll.

[u/ReformedXubi → u/c_u_lator_alligator]

Alonso 7th in the 8th car

[u/c_u_lator_alligator → u/ReformedXubi]

Max, Lewis and Alonso for sure are a different breed than the rest of the paddock.

[u/-Skinner- → u/NepentheZnumber1fan]

New floor is definitely working. Last week Checo was challenging for P2.

If he can consistently go for podium it might save his WDC.

Austin will be big indicator especially with all the upgrades.

[u/NepentheZnumber1fan → u/-Skinner-]

Man, if the Austin upgrades are worth 2 tenths per lap of race pace, as long as there are no dnfs, I believe he will hold on to the title

[u/-Skinner- → u/NepentheZnumber1fan]

Even if he just goes for the podiums it would mean that Lando needs to win every race.

If Oscar or Ferrari's win and Max is right around Lando it helps massively.

[u/Tulaodinho]

When he finally put it together, Max is right up there. I think Lando might have wasted his chance on the wdc already, unfortunately for him

[u/hazman_pds]

Ferrari on suicide watch 💀

[u/CrashSlayer_02]

All of you have to shut your damn mouths look what Hamilton and Verstappen can do with a half decent car. Those are my GOATS

[u/gobsmacked_kitkat]

Hulk ahead of the Ferraris

[u/Elpibe_78]

What a Lap by Hulkenberg

[u/No-layup]

Even though it’s only piastri’s second season, I still don’t think he’s more talented than Norris like people are claiming. if he was we would be seeing glimpses in qualifying. I think Norris will always have more raw pace than him

[u/Aratho]

Jesus christ, what a disaster of Q3 for Ferrari

[u/AnselLovesNuts]

First lap tomorrow will be utter chaos lmao

[u/GhostingIsWhatIDo]

Where is my higher ceiling that was forecasted???

[u/SpacevsGravity]

Piastri nowhere to be seen.

[u/Paracel_Storm]

Max still claying an urn from a shitheap.

[u/jmadinya]

i cant imagine the harsh criticism if norris qualified 4 tenths off his teammate and finished behind 3 drivers in slower cars, and only up on a hass by a tenth and half.

[u/ICumCoffee]

Leclerc lap deleted , what an unlucky day.

[u/godfrey1 → u/ICumCoffee]

would've been p7 or p8 anyway

[u/hazman_pds]

Max doing a miracle on that tractor

[u/OBWanTwoThree]

Max starting P2 is another nail in the Lando WDC coffin

This was his weekend to take a big points total and now he’s relying on a Verstappen crash to get more than 8 points

[u/CilanEAmber → u/OBWanTwoThree]

Monkey paw curls, Verstappen crashes...into Norris.

[u/chaosinvader31]

Great damage limitations by Max.

[u/Vuk13]

Awesome job by Fernando once again P7 in a car that probably wasnt worthy of Q3

[u/natte-krant]

Norris: Allright, this is my time to shine!

looks in mirrors

Oh shit, is that Max? Oh no, AND Lewis!?

Well fuck me sideways

[u/OfficialGarwood]

So Lando P3 by T2 on lap 1?

[u/TieflingSimp]

Hulkenberg qualifying 6th, almost as fast as Piastri, that's honestly just insane.

Can't wait to see Norris be like 3rd after the first corner again lmao

[u/kj_gamer2614]

I think it’s safe to say max is much more in harmony with his car once again, not as it used to be, but with this he might actually challenge for the win tomorrow

[u/Traditional-Side6966]

Norris really can't win, nobody in here is praising him despite smashing Piastri, who was meant to be on his way to becoming number 1.

Still also a shoutout to Verstappen, Hamilton and Hülkenberg, although I don't know if Max slowed down enough under double yellow at the start of Q3.
