Italy qualifying. Will be an interesting race with Ferrari starting back so far. On their home soil as well. If it rains at race time as much as it did today it will be a very messy race. Pete

Don't worry about 7 & 8, the Ferraris will be behind Lewis in no time, subject to how well Bottas does holding them back.

Hamilton wins another and now leads in Championship points. Something has gone wrong with Ferrari in the short term it appears, and Verstappen's bad luck continues.

In our pool Pitsch had the best race with 19 points, the highest pool point total so far this season. Pitsch is beginning to pull away with only seven races remaining. The top three are now Pitsch, Pete and RZR.
Next up in two weeks is Singapore. Good luck to all! Pete

Re: 2017 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
The 'replacement engine parts penalty' fiasco may ruin the end of the season. That rule HAS to be altered. I know it's to make F1 more exciting/balanced, giving smaller teams a chance to compete with the big money boys, but....
Go, Lewis!
Go, Kimi!
Go, Danny!
Cheer up, F.Alonso.

Singapore will host Formula One races until 2021
http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asean/1 ... recent_box
SINGAPORE: Singapore will continue to host Formula One races until 2021 after agreeing on a four-year deal on Friday.
The street circuit, which has unique appeal as a night race, first hosted a race in 2008.
“We are incredibly happy to announce this extension and very proud of our partnership,” F1 chief executive Chase Carey said at a news conference at the racetrack. “The Singapore race is clearly a signature event, the spectacular skyline of Singapore lit up at night (with) a crowd that's truly from around the world. It's really our gateway into Asia, which is an incredible region to our future and our growth.”
The motorsport series came under new ownership this year when the U.S. sports and entertainment firm Liberty Media bought out investment fund CVC Capital Partners, and Mr Carey ended Bernie Ecclestone's reign lasting nearly 40 years.
Mr Carey has big plans to expand F1's reach, both in terms of adding more races and increasing its digital appeal, an area largely neglected by Ecclestone.
“We're in the early days of the plans we have for the future,” Mr Carey said. “Asia is tremendously important. Asia and the Americas are truly unique opportunities for us.”
The Singapore GP has generated 1.4 billion in Singapore dollars (about $1 billion or 870 million euros) over the past decade.
Officials said on Friday that the cost of hosting the race has been reduced to S$135 million ($100 million or 84 million euros). During Ecclestone's tenure, contract negotiations were often difficult for track owners struggling with rising costs and dwindling gates.
Singapore has considerable appeal as a popular tourist destination, with about “40 to 50% of visitors (to the race) from overseas,” said Lionel Yeo, the chief executive of Singapore's tourism board.
There are no immediate plans to change or modify the five-kilometre track.
Because it is a street circuit, like the iconic Monaco GP, the planning implications could be troublesome if any changes were made.

Re: 2017 F1 News and Prediction Tournament
Certainly believe on the likes of the Singapore "Street Course", the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari (Force India?) are way more suited - Mercedes have raw power and are way better suited to long straits and speed. One of the races where drivers truly show their worth IMHO. Anywho, we'll see.
