The first SingaporeGP in three years produced several talking points as a result of things that happened both on and off the track. Here's 10 things we learned from the 17th round of the 2022 F1 season:
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.
Hamilton was similarly off-colour. While he reckoned the Mercedes was a second off the ultimate pace of the Red Bulls and Ferraris, he would have hoped for far better than a point in ninth. Having complained about banging wheels with, who then became a rolling roadblock, he overcooked it under braking to whack into the outside barrier and was lucky to recover for a front-wing change after his endplate came loose.
