That isn't the McLaren breaking. It is the shit Honda engine

Raining heavier in Singapore now. Should be interesting to see how it affects visibility as we've never had a night race in the rain before.

 

[Nando]

This is going to be very very interesting. Two Red Bulls with not much to lose and Seb and Lewis with everything to lose.

 

[The Bear]

Wow. Carnage.

Max at fault not giving Kimi any room.

Dream scenario for Lewis.

 

[Nando]

Max is a fucking idiot.

 

[The Bear]

Yet on the replays it looked like neither Kimi nor Max actually turned towards each other as they passed. Bizarre.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Vettel at fault possibly?

 

[Nando]

Would have been a podium on for Alonso there. Fucking livid.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Vettel at fault possibly?

Yeah I think so

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh massively - he moved twenty yards across

 

[The Bear]

Yeah now I've seem the front on view, Max moves over slightly but only because Vettel is chopping right across him.

If the Ferrari's thought Max would break and let them breeze by, they got that wrong. Vettel at marginal fault, but really a racing incident. Alonso just in the wrong place at the wrong time, very unlucky.

 

[Tredman]

Hamilton showing how great a driver he is - no one can get close to him, even when his car is inferior to the red bull.

 

[Nando]

Fingers crossed the Hulk can get his podium here. Bloody hell he deserves one.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well Renault fucked that up for him

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The Magnussen, Ocon, Massa battle has been epic racing

Same for me, Vettel being aggressive on Verstappen as you'd expect but gets caught out by Raikkonen coming up the other side and they all get pinched together. Unlucky for Max and Kimi really as they looked like they could've got away with the first incident but then couldn't avoid each other at the first corner.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Eh?

Kimi was on three wheels from the moment they touched.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Yeah Kimi was just a wrecking ball about to clear out everything in his path. We will never really know if Max or Vettel could have carried on.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Ahhh I'd only seen it once from a full view and a couple times from Max's perspective. Explains why Raikonnen was barreling up the inside on that first corner.

Still think it's unfortunate rather than anything else, no one person caused the carnage but the combination of a few events made it unavoidable.
