Maranello Paddock wrote that Frédéric Vasseur had once again criticized the media after the Singapore race, asking them if they had asked as many questions to McLaren. He reminded that his two cars were in second and third places on track and that the team had asked them to pit under virtual safety car conditions. According to his account, one of the drivers preferred to stay on track and missed the pit entrance; Vasseur then requested that the team not be blamed. When asked about a possible later order to impose the pit stop, he replied that the team was not sure the cars could make it to the end and that they had simply chosen to follow the situation. #F1 #Singapour #Vasseur (translated)

Maranello Paddock reported Lewis Hamilton's statements after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver stated that he takes responsibility for a result below expectations and explained that he chose new medium tires to attempt a one-stop strategy, as overtaking is difficult on this circuit. According to him, these tires proved to be less effective than the soft ones. Hamilton indicated that he found his rhythm during the second stint, but was unable to regain enough positions. He mentioned missing the pit entry when the team called him in during the virtual safety car period, and then chose to stay on track. The tire degradation in the final laps allegedly cost him three places, leaving him in sixth. The driver described the race as a hard lesson, acknowledged making mistakes, and apologized to the team for the lost points. He expressed his desire to continue to invest and fight in the next race. #F1 #Ferrari #GrandPrix (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that at the Singapore GP, a new phase of dominance for Max Verstappen and Red Bull had begun. According to him, the RB22 had become more predictable after stabilizing its aerodynamics, and Verstappen had continued to perform at his best. Albano attributed the competitiveness of the car also to the low-end power of the RB-Ford PU, low drag, and the Dutch driver's tire management. Albano considered Ferrari's weekend positive, stating that they were only second to Verstappen. He wrote that Charles Leclerc had almost overtaken the Dutchman at the start, but the Ferrari had bounced after going off the curb at the pit lane exit, causing him to lose the necessary margin for a more decisive attack. According to Albano, the rear-limited characteristics of the circuit highlighted the weakness of the SF26's rear, explaining both the extreme setup chosen for Leclerc in the Sprint and the difficulties in preserving the tires during the race. He added that the updates expected for Austin would indicate the direction Ferrari was taking. Regarding Lewis Hamilton, Albano wrote that the driver could have achieved third place with a double pit stop, but chose to stay on track, perhaps to attempt to overtake Leclerc. He praised his apologies and described the potential double podium for Ferrari as a missed opportunity, which would have brought points in the Constructors' Championship; he also noted that Hamilton had finished sixth after a weekend where, in his opinion, he had been in great form. Albano also congratulated Kimi Antonelli for the podium and criticized Lando Norris's lack of responsiveness. However, he argued that Mercedes still had a weak front end and that, despite the characteristics of the circuit and the updated PU, they had only achieved the result of the third force. He concluded by indicating Austin as an important appointment for Mercedes and Ferrari, while Verstappen, according to him, would continue to aim for dominance in the final phase of the season. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Verstappen (translated)

Dr. Jérôme Barriere estimated that the strong progress of David Lisnard in a voting intention poll was a major fact, despite the limitations of this type of survey. He suggested that this rise could be explained by his speech in favor of reduced spending, by a growing activist base that he described as respectful, by his energy, and by his positioning on the right, which he presented as a hope to block the RN. He also emphasized that Lisnard was not accountable for the past record, which he considered an asset with the French people. Barriere wondered how far this progress would go and whether David Lisnard would be invited more to television shows and included in polls, believing that pollsters had deliberately excluded him until now. #Politique #Sondage #Élections (translated)

Maranello Paddock wrote that Lewis Hamilton had formed a team of engineers at Ferrari that included people outside the historical circle of the Scuderia. According to the post, sources close to the driver described a method different from the usual routine, which relied on his feedback to better identify the car's problems and the priorities to address. The seven-time world champion was also said to have been recruited to help evolve working methods, thanks to his experience in winning teams and his influence. His approach reportedly elicited mixed reactions within the team. The post estimated that the group formed around Hamilton constituted the strongest core of this approach, but the next step was to broaden the consensus. It claimed that Hamilton had leeway to analyze the functioning of the team that Fernando Alonso had not benefited from and that Sebastian Vettel had even less. Carlos Sainz had reportedly established a methodical dialogue with the engineers. According to the post, Hamilton could bring a different experience and contribute to change, a mission that would have been implicit from his arrival. Maranello Paddock also wrote that Charles Leclerc, who had spent his entire career at Ferrari, did not have the same external benchmarks and often had to compensate on track for unresolved issues. However, the post indicated that Leclerc had moved closer to his teammate's perspective, which he found interesting. It was estimated that this convergence could strengthen the drivers' demands if their different approaches led them to face the same difficulties. According to the post, Hamilton's recent statements reflected this evolution: he still wanted changes but had to convince the management to accept new technical practices, using arguments, evidence, and a broader consensus. Maranello Paddock added that he needed to prioritize internal dialogue and avoid putting pressure on Frédéric Vasseur. Discussions about the future of the director could have complicated the process, while support for Vasseur could, according to the post, help continue the changes already underway. Finally, Maranello Paddock called Hamilton's podium finish in Sepang an encouraging sign and estimated that his influence would depend on the ability to extend the method developed with his engineers to the entire team.
