The last Singapore GP?
I hope to. Street circuits are s
t. Only really a spectacle for people living there, and people going to watch the race. If all you've got is to watch qualifiers/race... It's st.I hope to God they don't don't decide to move it to a hell hole, like London.

It disappoints me that someone like SKY F1, do not devote a program to this sort of stuff every so often. Dr Z is obviously aware of how things have developed over the season, most of us are left in the dark.
Yep.... what's the point in having a channel dedicated to the sport if you don't run programming for those with a depth of knowledge as well as those aimed at newcomers.It disappoints me that someone like SKY F1, do not devote a program to this sort of stuff every so often.

Get Pat Symonds and Garry Anderson to present it, I'd watch!
As an idle muse, I wonder if the teams would actually want to be involved in something like that - get too in depth and you might give something away to a rival team.

The 'bulls looking quick. On today's form nobody is touching them this weekend. Thankfully there's another practice session to change and refine setups. I think Ferrari would be up there, the raw pace is there in the long runs. If I'm not mistaken, it took a few laps for the Soft to come up to temp on the Ferrari.
The true form should be revealed tomorrow. But Danny RIC is on it in the long runs too. Interesting race in terms of the title fight.

I'm not a sky subscriber and tend to watch on NowTV when it's not live on C4...seem to remember Ted doing special segments to highlight these things in preseason? Development corner or something?

Ah, yes. Who can forget Ted trying to explain the new turbo engine architecture with the aid of a few items from the stationary cupboard. Or asking Pat Symonds (then still at Williams) to explain front wing aerodynamics with the help of a few jelly babies.And still, the broadcasting awards overlook him.
I can't fathom Vet's tactics with the softs. First f all I thought it was sandbagging, but not for a whole session.
I'm confused.
Should be an interesting qually. The assumption is probably that the Mercs will improve, the Ferraris will challenge the Mercs and the RBs will be a tenth or two in front. But what does someone confused by tyres know.

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking but anywho- I was listening to BBC F1 live audio coverage during FP2 and it was suggested on there that some teams were assessing the soft tyre to cover the potential early safety car scenario. If there's a safety car in the early laps of the driver has to stop early for a puncture etc it is probable that he could pretty much cover the whole race distance on the softs. I'm confused.
