⏱️ A potentially F1 race-deciding penalty arriving late 🌧️ A 65-minute delay after heavy rain... ➕...and much more. Here's the 🔟 biggest talking points from the SingaporeGP
was guilty of the offence in Canada earlier this year, he escaped without a time penalty. Part of the FIA’s justification for Montreal was that numerous drivers had fouled the rules.
The FIA is tied to the 40-minute start procedure that F1 mandates, which therefore requires a major helping of foresight to predict conditions safe enough for the race to begin - which it notably did with a standing start and not led by the safety car. However, that the fully grooved wet-weather tyres were completely missed out left a sour taste in the mouth as many felt the reaction had been overly cautious and excessively drawn out to render the blue-walled rubber superfluous to requirements.
However, with Verstappen lining up in eighth after backing out of two hot Q3 laps ultimately to provide the necessary fuel sample, it was up to Perez to lead Red Bull from the front in Singapore. That he did, nailing the second phase of his launch to beautifully demote polesitter Leclerc for the lead into Turn 1. He then led each safety car restart well and turned on his tyres perfectly in the final stint to distance the chasing Ferrari and eventually extract a 7.
That wasn’t helped by a late-race climax being denied by Perez’s pace in the final stint. His turn of speed and latest case of critical tyre management enabled him to defend against Leclerc soundly before pulling clear of DRS range to scarper away to a 7.6s victory.
