I just got done watching the first practice session and it looks pretty neat. 2 bridges over water and even under a grandstand. It does look like it will be hard to pass though.

[blacknightteg]

ah nice. its funny how they are all like freaking out about this lol. if teh track is adequately enough lit, it should be fine.

[BKgen®]

the track looks great... and I think the lighting will be adequate. Only thing is, if it starts raining those bright lights are just gonna cause problems. But watching the practice, the circuit looks amazing. Could be one of my new favorites...

[Elbow]

It's lit for sure, BUT I think it is AMAZING, it is video game type track. The background is beautiful, the reflections, etc. I think it's GREAT.

[DunDunSkeert]

Is it on speed channel? What time does it come on?

[EJ25RUN]

Noob.... Most of us watch the 3:00AM races so 7:30 is easy.

[EJ25RUN]

qualifying now! Q2 at time of post.

update....Hamilton makes it in by 1 tenth to Q3

[EJ25RUN]

Massa pole :yay:

But Hamilton is second so we are in for something tomorrow. The start will be as important as ever with passing being unlikely.

[SampaGuy]

what a ****ty race

[EJ25RUN]

what a ****ty race
nope it was great. Congrats to Alonzo.

F1 is exciting because of stuff like this.

[Elbow]

Damn poor Kimi :(

Massa tough luck.

[v-empire]

great race.

i lived there for 5 years, got drunk on those streets many times.. haha.the parliament house is pretty at night by the water.

kimi skid was crazy, i think his tires led it slip right towards the end as he hit the jump, inches matters.

i m glad Alonso won, even tho i was rooting for kimi and felipe.

Kimi rim split on impact. I think Kimi was begining his typical late race attempts at fastest lap. He still kept it on lap 14 but many times this year he got it on the final lap. he is tied with himself and Schumi for 10 in a season and there is still 3 more round. Massa was lucky to survive after that pit fiasco. I thought the engine was gonna over heat for sure.

[Elbow]

Yeah very impressive for sure with the Ferrari engine idling so long. Kimi is secretly a time attack driver ;)

[BKgen®]

Great circuit (minus the "Kimi" chicane). Beautiful venue. Exciting race.



...but painful to watch. I can't believe Massa's luck. That fueling incedent wasn't even his fault, yet he was still penalized! wtf?! 7 points behind in the championship now, and only 3 races left. Something drastic would have to happen -- but after tonight's race, "drastic" wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Very entertaining/interesting race nonetheless.

It was obviously the team's fault (or whoever is the electronic lollipop man).

But Massa is part of the team that got penalized. Anything that is a safety issue results in a drive thru.

I do believe that the 10 sec stop and go for Rosberg and Kubica was a casualty of the terrible rule of no refueling under the safety car. The FIA needs to ex that rule out asap. Just like Peter Windsor said "it was installed for safety to not jam the pits, and just look what happened to Ferrari"

[SampaGuy]

nope it was great. Congrats to Alonzo.

1. yeah i know, but we had enough of that this season already

2. one of the worse races of the year for all brazilians involved, lol

3. ******* alonso won

[VooDooXII]

My cousin was in Singapore for this.

<--- Quite jealous.
