The Formula One patient stated that if Max Verstappen does not win any races by the end of the year, that day could have been the last opportunity for him to appear on the podium side by side with engineer GP. According to the author, it seemed that Red Bull would agree with McLaren on GP's early departure and would not keep him in the team against his will. If that were to happen, it would be characteristic for GP and Verstappen to have last stood on the podium together in Singapore, at a circuit that Verstappen said had not favored him for many years. The author labeled it as the best conclusion to one of the most successful partnerships between a driver and an engineer in F1 history. #F1 #Verstappen #RedBull (translated)

Karol from CyrkF1 wrote that Gianpiero Lambiase has probably appeared on the podium for the last time as a Red Bull employee.

Mariano Angarolla considered that the weekend had been Franco's worst in Alpine in terms of car reliability, but he said that it should not be dramatized because the team had been among the most reliable—or perhaps the most reliable—despite the problems that still needed to be resolved. He added that Franco had been the driver with the fewest retirements, partly due to that reliability, and maintained that Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull had suffered numerous problems several times during the year, while this had been the first for Franco's car. Separately, he noted that Alpine needed to improve their pace and setup, which, he said, had shown ups and downs depending on the circuit. #F1 #Alpine #Fiabilidad (translated)

R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that Max Verstappen had rightly won the Sprint at the SingaporeGP, thanks to a consistent pace and managing the tires and lack of grip. He described Lewis Hamilton, in second place, as having a very effective start and a good pace, despite experiencing a phase of tire overheating mid-race. According to Albano, Hamilton had then returned to the window and recorded two fast laps in the last three; he also praised Ferrari in wet conditions. Albano added that Charles Leclerc managed the first part well, but then suffered from extreme balancing and loss of front grip, yet managed to maintain third place. He called the McLaren incident incredible, which in his view had cost the team more points. He wrote that Andrea Kimi Antonelli had not made mistakes despite Mercedes' difficulties and warned against overrating the performance on intermediates, arguing that that tire favored the car in that configuration. Albano also said that George Russell wasted a good start with an immediate error and praised Oliver Bearman and Liam Lawson. Finally, he anticipated that qualifying would start soon. #F1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)
