Great take on a well-remembered moment. This thread is gold, seriously, and this post is one of the best.

If B. Bira beats bees by a beehive, will beaned bee beer appear, huh? And will B. Bira be a Queen bee, B. Bira or Prince Bee, B. Bira?

I apologise for nothing

Rain -- It actually rained. In the desert. Holy crap. It wasn't a big rainstorm, not enough to change the race, but wow. Congrats rain.

ROTR for me has to be Valtteri Bottas -- If he keeps this up, Ocon may actually find himself with a seat next season. Early this season Valtteri lost out on races either due to insane performances from other drivers (Vettel at Bahrain) or just sheer dumb luck (Baku). Now he's just shatteri'd the bed...

WaffleCat

Bottas. I managed to forget him in just two hours today. That actually could bring up something interesting, where people forget number two drivers simply because the main driver dominated in their time at the team. Obviously, not to the extent of Dave Walker, because we all remember him for doing ...

Reviving this thread now, because while I should really be studying, I've made this little tricky Sporcle quiz in my downtime. Contains some reject material cause why not.

I personally don't mind the look of the new cars, but then again I'm a crazy fan of Formula E, so what do I know ¯\_(O_o)_/¯. But honestly, the look of the cars just looks like the future, and I love the extra big diffuser to make up for the lack of rear wing. Only thing I don't really like about Se...

I would say Sergio Perez, but that's way too obvious. Go I'll go by my personal experience at the Grand Prix... ...it has to be those two people behind me in the grandstand . Not because they were a nuisance. Not because they weren't into F1. No. They are my rejects of the race because they couldn't...

Since I'm the local boy here and it's already Friday, I think it's alright that I start off the Singapore Grand Prix Thread with some fun facts: -- Apart from turns 9 to 13, the whole track lies on reclaimed land . So if the track sinks and becomes the Sink-apore Grand Prix (ba dum tss), you know wh...

WaffleCat

I'll go for Team Denmark because we're going to mark a dent in the championship.

WaffleCat

Oh, Max Verstappen for sure, how can I not.

But also a special shout out to customer Renaults. Got damn, it's not the complete mess that was Mexico last year, but still, it's not a good look when the only engines that give up during the race are yours.

WaffleCat

As an amendment to my previous post, the number of people not sleeping well at night has gone from Sainz to: - Sainz. - Esteban Ocon. - The Williams team. However, the rejectful lining on the cloud would be that Williams might start getting some interesting hires in the coming year! Bring on the gr...

WaffleCat

Thanks for the update Aislabie. I want to keep on doing this, but my time has just...drained away with other stuff, I guess hahahah.

WaffleCat

I'll do my part and swap Vandoorne for Sainz. Only seems right.

WaffleCat

Well, thanks for the tips guys. Not too many views of the track from the E Village, but I have a decent spot at turn 1...

Hey guys, asking for help from any of you that've been to a Formula E event before. I'm heading off to Zurich for the holidays, and it's just nice that I'm there by the time the ePrix is going on there. I am aware tickets are sold out, but I've heard that access to the EVillage is free. Is that true...

WaffleCat

Honestly, I tip my hat to Pierre Gasly here. He managed that ultra-long hypersoft stint, played his cards perfectly, and deserved more than 7th in my books. Might have been a bit off form in the past few races, but at least he showed that his performance in Bahrain wasn't just pure luck. Also, an ho...

WaffleCat

Lance Stroll . I'm not the biggest fan of Lance, but fair credit where it's due, he climbed a fair way up the grid and almost stuck the Williams in the points without Baku-esque shenanigans. Especially after his crash on Saturday, I wasn't expecting as solid of a drive from Stroll as yesterday. Hon...

WaffleCat

Only two candidates. RoGro or #Spainish. But, I'll introduce a third: Sergey Sirotkin Yes, he had an extra pit stop. Yes, he had a few problems in the race. Yes, his seat was not comfy, according to him. Don't let that distract you from the fact that he finished nearly a minute behind the next drive...

WaffleCat

Given how I run the RRL...I approve. Wholeheartedly. In fact, I think it's time to enter a team in here for once.

Thanks all. There will be a second season in due time. Just working on university applications and a whole load of other stuff at the moment, so it won't be too soon. But I've still got a whole load of ideas for this, so stay tuned.

WaffleCat

As much as Ro Gro is calling out to me, it just has to be the Red Bull Drivers here. There's no excuse as a team, when you're in the high points-scoring positions, to just throw all sorts of moves here and there like madmen. That final move was the cherry on top of the cake of chaos. Max probably do...

WaffleCat

So many things can be said about Ricciardo and his incredible drive, but I gotta give a hand to Red Bull's garage . They played the perfect strategy. They pulled off two double stacked out stops. Their call during the safety car was so snappy and well-worked, it was almost like it was Crashgate 2.0 ...

WaffleCat

If I could, I would like to give the honorable mention to Fox Sports Asia. They could only connect to Brundle's and Crofty's commentary just before the parade lap, leaving most of the pre-race proceedings in dead air. Somehow, just judging by the IRC, they're actually behind some streams that y'all ...

One final race, who will win???...

Eh, I'm scraping the barrel here. Williams look like a shoo-in for ROTY, so unless they do something really stupid like taking each other out or running over their pitcrew, they're not going to be an ROTR nomination for now at least. Instead, I'm going to nominate Force India . A pick outta left fie...

WaffleCat

My pick for IIDOTR won't be a driver. For me, it has to be one engine manufacturer in particular: Honda . They had three years of hell with McLaren. It was very much just three years to get used to Formula One. For this season, in their switch to Toro Rosso, we saw them improve dramatically. It seem...

From what I've seen on the circuit's twitter, it appears the main grandstand caught fire yesterday or so.

Can all those of you who scored more than 5 on that quiz tell me, under oath in a court of law, that you did not look any of those answers up on Wikipedia, Forix, or any other informative site whether motorsport-related or otherwise?
