The longer this goes on the more and more I like Hamilton's opinion on this track... this is not right...

Michael's sure having fun testing the track isn't he?

The two different tire compounds rule still applies, regardless of the two compounds used, correct?

It only applies if it's a completely dry race.

No, the rule goes out the window if there's any rain at all.

No. They don't even have to pit, if they don't go the full race distance - which they won't.

So no tire changes are required at all then? Hmm. I either change to inters now or I wait as long as humanly possible to change my full wets.

That only applies to dry tyres doesn't it? There is only one compound each of inters and wets, isn't there? I just want to see some change in position...

Interesting fact: At Singapore Fernando Alonso scored a Grand Slam, the first in Formula 1 for over 6 years.

Also there's talk that if it goes on like this the SC might run out of fuel :lol:
