Singapore GP IIDOTR

[TomPryce]

I mean, who else?

Lando and Sainz both stole that race. Absolutely incredible driving from both of them.

[RAK]

1) Sainz: Could be almost by default for slaying the previously indomitable Red Bull beast, but it was a good drive on his own terms.

2) Lawson: Illustrating that the Red Bull Junior talent pool isn't completely depleted.

[Enforcer]

Have to acknowledge Sainz & Norris for co-operating better than most team-mates do and holding off Merc, even though it goes against my general views on IIDOTR.

Lawson and Gasly are other options.

[Meatwad]

Liam Lawson: Points in only his third race – he should get the AlphaTauri seat next year (and for the rest of the season too, to be honest). Also the toughest fight against the Red Bulls from an AlphaTauri driver since Kvyat in 2016, possibly?

Honorable mention to Sainz for breaking Red Bull's streak and outperforming Leclerc again – probably the best weekend of his career.

1 Sainz. The First non red Bull win of the year and he did it with dying tyres. Deserved a win this year.

2. Lawson. Out qualified both Red Bulls Kept it clean and got points. Danny Ric and Yuki will be very nervous now.

Hm Lando Norris. Kept both Mercs behind as well.
Hm K-mag. Points!!

[James1978]

Sainz's nous to use Lando to get him the race win seals it, though I was very impressed by Lawson too. It would be a massive shame if he has to make way for Danny Ric when he recovers.

[Bleu]

1. Sainz - his tactic with Norris was decisive in order to win
2. Lawson - first career points on a very tough circuit

[Batty]

1) Lawson. First GP at Singapore. His 3rd F1 race and did a great job

2) Sainz. Controlled the race really well

[Londoner]

1. Carlos Sainz Jr. Be real, who thought Carlos would be the one to end RB's reign of terror? Dominant and sneakily tactical drive worthy of Alain Prost, glad to see him get a much cleaner victory than his rather scruffy Silverstone win last season.

2. Liam Lawson. Points in that barge of a car. I see no reason why Ricciardo should come back to F1 after today.

[sswishbone]

1) Liam Lawson - Eliminated Max Verstappen from Q3, then scored points. Red Bull would be insane to have anyone else in that seat for this season and next

2) Ocon - Some of the best overtakes all season

[IceG]

(1) Sainz for driving not only his own car but also the three world-class cars behind him - brilliant execution (with a little help from Lando and Russell)

(2) Lawson for being very good

Lawson and Gasly are other options.

Since I imagine that Norris and Sainz will be getting a lot of nominations, I would agree with having Lawson and Gasly - Lawson performed above expectations at a tricky circuit that he would have been unfamiliar with, whilst Gasly's 6th must have seemed fairly unlikely given that he was only 12th in qualifying.

[dj_vicious]

1. Carlos Sainz Jr: How could it be anyone else? Excellent driving under immense pressure (I nominated him as IIDOTR last week for this), very quick all weekend, and having the sense to back himself into Lando to give him the DRS.

2, Lando Norris: Another excellent performance we've come to expect from Lando.

[Rob Dylan]

Yeah, Lawson for me as well, and let's not forget that Haas finished 10th with Magnussen. After potential trouble for Perez, it could lift AT and Haas to 8th and 9th!

[Alextrax52]

Carlos Sainz: Be honest, who put their money on this guy to end the Red Bull juggernaut’s winning run? The best bit is he was THE man to beat all weekend, topping every session after a close 2nd in FP1. His tactics in the closing stages were Prost-esque for me and it makes me fear how even more lost Ferrari’s strategy team would be without him

Liam Lawson: I’ll take Londoner’s point further: I saw no reason for Ricciardo to get the seat over Lawson in the first place other than a Netflix storyline and Marketing purposes. Scoring points in only his second full weekend and he looks so at home in that car. There’s talk that it’ll be a Tsunoda/Ricciardo pairing at whatever AlphaTauri are going be to called next year and if so that’s a crying shame.

HM: Kevin Magnussen: I thought Haas would be much stronger here than in Italy given they had no low downforce wings at Monza but I didn’t expect Magnussen to qualify 6th and score Haas’s first Sunday points since Miami. A welcome return for Kev in what’s been a tough season

[Forti]

Sainz, Norris, and Lawson.
