It looks like rain is possible (but unlikely) for quali, but not happening on the Sunday. Am I missing something?!
When I typed it was rain, now I have no idea (without looking again)..And forgive my lack of global knowledge but does it tend to rain at night/day at that point of the world at that time of year!? I have no idea, help pls??

will be interesting to see if Vettel and Ferrari mgmt 'pull rank' on Raikonnen to prevent any repeat of the Monza situation.
Does Vettel have undisputed number 1 status at Ferrari ?
Will Raikonnen try to make a point and race Vettel due to being let go at the end of the season ?
The rumour is if VET qualifies in front he gets #1 status.Does Vettel have undisputed number 1 status at Ferrari ?
Will Raikonnen try to make a point and race Vettel due to being let go at the end of the season ?

Looking forward to Vettel scoring a DNF

Looking forward to this one, here's hoping Vettel bounces back as we don't need another championship walkover and I'm enjoying seeing Hamilton at his best i.e. under pressure.
You know what? You’re spot on. Winnning the title shouldn’t be easy, it should be hard and as much as I want LH to win, he is a Brit after all, I want it to be a contest. So a decent performance from Seb this weekend wouldn’t go amiss. Here’s hoping for a decent showing.
Sat looking at Singapore now, any one who can tell you what the the weather is going to be for qualifying or the race, or indeed if it will rain on Saturday or Sunday at any time, should immediately be sought out for advice on the lottery numbers.
I have never seen the weather less predictable than it has been the last few weeks. Sunday and Monday, on both days it rained heavily at around Noon, which is highly unusual, on Sunday it then stayed damp and cloudy all day.this morning (Tuesday) is a beautiful day.

Vettel’s Ferrari had started from pole position but the German’s race was over within a few hundred metres. As Red Bull’s Max Verstappen tried to force his way between Vettel and his Ferrari team-mate Kimi Räikkönen the Dutch driver found himself with nowhere to go: he and Räikkönen were out instantly, while Vettel spun into retirement just seconds later.
Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Hamilton brought his Mercedes through from the third row to take the race lead which would be his until the end of a race shortened to 58 laps.

When I posted the YT links, I must have watched the race restart, a dozen or so times in between the
's Vettel had the wrong line in to the corner, makes a race ending contact for two other drivers, then more impressively manages to bin it after slipping on his own cars fluids, whist Lewis slips through the first corner, and twinkle toes around Vettel with no issues, then Vettel is reversing up the track with a damaged car, he does not stop it keeps going backwards.

The Ferrari is the better car, Vettel should be absolutely pissing this and the only reason he's behind is mostly in his hands (although MV has cost him a good few points too, where LH has gained from MV skittling other cars). Unless it rains I'm expecting a clean sweep for SV for the remainder of the season and winning the WDC by a hell of a margin.
That's a very bold prediction and not because Vettel is making mistakes and he can sort it out for the remainder of the season.It's because the car is not as much faster than the Mercedes for the last two years as people like to think.
Also, I think people are again underestimating the expected performance of Mercedes at Singapore for this year. Both Ferrari and Mercedes are following different concepts to last year. The Mercedes might actually be faster than the Ferrari this weekend.
