The action on this pole shows how hard it is to care about F1 these days. So sad

It's going to be a great race. I can't wait to see Grosjean beating up on the Mercs when their tires fade.

It should be very interesting as the first 4 are evenly matched. Vettel really pulled a flyer out of his ***, but he is every bit the driver that a speedster like Hamilton is in qualifying, and probably better on race strategy. That said, I picked Ricciardo #1 as I really like the guy, #2 Red Bull has the potential here to be faster in long stint trim than the Ferrari, and #3 even if he is behind, if he is faster Danny can pass ANYBODY.

My fault, I put it up really late. This could actually turn out to be one of the better races of the year. The Merc's HP advantage is blunted on this circuit.

Not only that, but you have the poll closing after the race, so some guys out there might actually get it right!

Exciting quali! Great job by Vettel, textbook pole lap. Ricciardo blew it at the end it could've been closer. But I'm still pulling for him tomorrow. M-B is 1.3s adrift. Wow!

Not sure how Ferrari feel right now about offering their engines to Red Bull for next year...

Will be a fun race tomorrow. Singapore is so on my to do list for the F1 calendar, more so than some of the European races. Really want to go watch race there. I hear the whole weekend is quite the show.

It was nice to have someone other than Hamilton win, but a bit of a snoozer when it came to the top three or even top four. Ricciardo had no answer for Vettel. Raikkonen had no answer for Ricciardo and Rosberg had no answer for Raikkonen. Also I understand Rossi lost his radio on the 2nd safety car, but I thought that was why they still used pit boards. You would think they could have written "Pass Field" on his pit board or something like that. I was rather brutal watching the restart with Rossi trying to get out of the way but at the same time being very much in the way.

It was not bad to see Ferrari win. But WTF about Toro Roso? As pointed out by Hobbo, what 17 year old does what they are asked?? If Sainez couldn't get around Verstaapan then tough Siht. It is racing not a youth soccer game.

Alexander Rossi did a good drive.

I've all but given up on formula 1. Didn't record it. Anyone have an online link to the race?

Finally something beside LH in a 1-2 sec a lap faster car taking Pole - Fast Lap - Victory. Lather - rinse - repeat for 2 years running.
I don't think Ferrari and RB have improved to the point they can compete on most circuits, but on the tight streets they may have caught MB. I think about the 3rd place finish SV lost to the faulty tire, he would be in second place in the WDC right now.
How much more interesting F1 would be if 3-4 teams competed for the win at every race.
