2013 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix - Formula 1

OK, the race is just about to get started, with Vettel on pole, so here is the thread for it.

Well, Ricciardo is out, and that means I'm not scoring in the Dice Game this weekend.

Riccardo crashed. Interesting.
I think Vergne managed to get through okay. Just saying.
Or maybe well go down the Nascar route and yell CONSPIRACY!!

Vettel wins again. I'm done watching for the season.  
Webber went up in flames on the last lap.  

Jenson and Sergio score points. Holiday. Celebrate.

What a race by Alonso and Raikkonen. Ferrari must develope a good package to keep up with Honda and Renault, and to Red Bull next year. Then we have an incredible season next year..

Alonso & Webber called to the stewards over the lift that occurred after the race.

The FIA:

We hate sportsmanship.

FIA made more sense 20 years ago.

There have been cases where drivers have given each other lifts with their race cars before. Why is the FIA getting their panties in a wad over it now?

Improved safety standards. There was a case in 1986 where Arnoux and Johansson once took a lift on Phillipe Alliot's Ligier before it ran out of fuel, then all 3 of them climbed onto Piquet's Williams in 1986.

What's more confusing is that Webber and Alonso did the same in the 2011 German GP...

EDIT: Situation is that Webber entered the racing line without marshal's permission. Agreeable decision for FIA then.

-Boring race is boring
-Stupid FIA is stupid

Glad I was at Donington.

I like Vettel and all, but damn that race was a snoozer. I tuned out 30-35 laps in (after Ricciardo noobed it into the wall) GP2 was nothing short of amazing, though.

That was candidate for worst race of the year, no one wanted to pass and Vettel pretty much schooled the field.

FIA weren't so stupid after all- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CilKX94JbCE

I can't tell who made the worse decision there, Webber for walking onto the track, or Alonso stopping in a blind spot on the racing line..... either way, action did need to be taken, especially considering the accidents in Canada & at Nurburgring this year

Good thing I slept through this race.

Vettel has this championship locked up with the way he's going, and if Red Bull keeps this up, he will probably pass Schumacher in championships, and possibly wins as well.

It's Vettel being Vettel.
