Ferrari did everything wrong in Malaysia but Lewis did his Goated things to get to the podium

🚨 THUNDERSTORMS COULD HIT THE SINGAPORE GP WEEKEND ⛈️🇸🇬 Early forecasts are showing a very wet weekend in Singapore: 🌧️ Friday: 65% chance of rain ⛈️ Saturday: 85% ⛈️ Sunday: 90% #F1 | #SingaporeGP

Um vídeo das arquibancadas mostra o exato momento em que o bug no software FIA fez os carros reduzirem drasticamente a velocidade na volta de apresentação ao mesmo tempo “Foi como a corrida de Lego. Mesma velocidade. Foi insano”, disse o Verstappen

😕 A lot of the drivers were left unimpressed by the formation lap drama and think it reflects poorly on F1:

also my favorite thing to see (mind the gap)

I don't think Hamilton & Leclerc get enough credit for HOW CLEAR they are of every other teammate duo The way they're specialists at different tracks just always makes the Ferrari look better than it is. Just like if Red Bull had 2 Max's, people would see it as the fastest car

🔴 Frédéric Vasseur défend le stratégie de Ferrari lors du Grand Prix de Malaisie. - « Je pense que lorsqu’on est convaincu qu’une option est meilleure que les autres, il faut la choisir pour les deux pilotes. McLaren, Red Bull et Mercedes ont fait de même. Cinquante pour cent des voitures sur la grille ont opté pour les pneus intermédiaires, les autres ont choisi les pneus pour piste sèche ». - « Évidemment, après la course, il est plus facile de dire qu'un choix est meilleur qu'un autre. Mais quand on est dans la voie des stands avant le départ, on ne dispose que des informations fournies par la grille de départ. Et rien d'autre. C'est au premier tour qu'on découvre si le choix est le bon ou non. Mais à ce moment-là, il est trop tard pour rentrer changer de pneus ». - « Problèmes software ? Tout a commencé avec Max. Il a perdu son moteur dans le tour de sortie, puis c'est arrivé à Lewis et aussi à Bortoleto. Je ne pense pas que ce soit très clair, mais cela semble être un problème lié au logiciel de la FIA. Quand le drapeau rouge a été brandi, ils les ont remplacés et tout a fonctionné ». - « Dans l'ensemble, nous avons livré une performance solide et convaincante. Il a certes fallu surmonter un défi inhabituel avec les choix sur la grille, mais globalement, tout s'est bien passé. Les qualifications d'hier ont été positives, tout comme aujourd'hui avec cette remontée des 20e et 21e places vers les troisième et quatrième. Et le rythme des deux voitures était excellent ».  - « Si l’on pense également à toutes les fois où nous avons rappelé Charles pour changer de pneus et où nous avons quand même terminé troisième et quatrième, c’est un très beau résultat. Nous retournons maintenant en piste dans sept jours et nous essaierons de faire mieux à Singapour ». (it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1…)

"Did we see the best Lewis today? He was a minute behind saying we’ve got to gamble, we’ve got to risk and stay out, and finished third." 🎙️ Vasseur: “He did a very good race, a very smooth strategy, he was able to do a mega long sprint with a very good tyre management with the soft, but don’t be extreme in your opinion.”

🚨 | Fernando Alonso criticises F1’s decision following the pre-race incident: “It looked like Hamilton was stranded, and there was stress.” “I’ve had retirements in the middle of races this year, and they never stopped the race because we were retiring.” “They had to stop the race so Hamilton could get going again.”

#BahrainGP 🇧🇭 | Lewis Hamilton believes he could’ve won the race if he had started on a different tyre: “Yep! Yea, I mean, mixed emotions. One side I’m really really grateful to have gotten back to the podium, and then the other side, obvious, with the debates we were having in the background, to then see the covers come off the car ahead and them on wets and us on slicks, and the track being so tricky and dangerous at the beginning… It was definitely… Yea, my heart sank and I thought that’s the race over.” “Then they were like “should we stop?” and I was like no! we already made the decision we have to live with it and we stay out here until this bloody place dries. Eventually it did, then I just kept my head down, kept pushing, didn’t give up.” “I definitely didn’t expect to get back to P3. It’s crazy to think we were over a minute down.” “But the team did a good job on the pit stops. I wish we had longer and more opportunities, that safety car at the end was a blessing and helped me get on the podium.”

Lewis Hamilton interview with Sky Sport F1 after finishing the race in P3 "the covers come off the car ahead in slicks and the one behind uh sorry on wets and us on slicks and the track being so tricky and dangerous at the beginning uh it was definitely Yeah my heart sank and I was kind of like that's that's the race over but uh then they were like should we stop and I was like no we've already we've already made the decision we have to live with it and we'll stay out here until this bloody place uh dries and eventually it did and then I just kept my head down just kept pushing just didn't give up"

"It's a strong performance if you consider that we were 21, 22 after Lap 1 or something like this. Its a very good comeback, very strong pace, very well managed by the two guys and this we can be pleased, for sure the tyre choice is another story but at the end of the day I think 50% of the cars took one direction, the other 50 the other one and we were on the wrong side but difficult to.. honeslty if I have to do another time the choice I'm not sure.. well, now that I know the race for sure but it is like it is, difficult choice in this condition... but I'm very pleased with the performance over the weekend, we had a very strong comeback, the pace was there, iom pleased for everybody."

Every safety car procedure is a reminder that the only time they broke these rules was in Abu Dhabi 2021.

Lewis: What a crazy race Max: Honestly, when I saw you guys on the slicks I was like... (shock face) the track didnt look that wet anymore but there was still a lot of water in the tarmac... Lewis: Yeah, that's what I was saying... still gonna be wet.

Fantastic recovery drives from our boys in a thrilling race! 💪
