There is a mistake on the timetable. It's the race local time not GMT.

Alonso has done there well always with both Renault and Ferrari, I expect him to be a winner contender.

I think what will concern everyone is McLaren has now taken the last three poles and wins.

Not just that, but Hamilton was so comfortable yesterday. You saw his reaction post-race, it was so easy for him. Button was also second until his failure. No-one this year has run comfortably first and second. Further to that, the last three races have been on different circuits: bumpy, medium-speed Hungary; fast-flowing Spa; and the straights and heavy braking of Monza. So there's no real reason for any remaining circuits not to suit McLaren. The only thing will be the tyres... assuming SSofts and softs are being used in Singapore: that will hurt them.

I agree McLaren is a concern. No, a huuuge concern. They look quite dominant, but who knowns with the teams being so close and teams exchanging "dominance" throughout several weekends?
I would have liked to see Alonso starting 2nd yesterday to see if he could have really kept it without loosing too much gap to Hamilton... Also, I do wonder if Sauber is that good or they just have a very good weekend, strategy, etc.

I think it's a good car, but the driver helps too. Kobayashi was 9th. Perez made a good start and pulled off some stunning moves.

I think McLaren will not dominate here. In my opinion their car this year is stronger in the fastest tracks. With Sauber it´s more or less the same so they shouldn´t be so strong here. At the other side Ferrari should be strong again and probably Red Bull too. I think this track is more or less like Valencia so Lotus should be very competitive too. Force India also should be competitive. Let´s see what Maldonado can do he likes this type of tracks. Mercedes is an incognite for me. It´s gonna be interesting.

Alonso owns this track. Best record here for the race. Lewis and Nando are supreme around here just like in Monaco; best drivers, best results. But mclaren doesnt worry me;they werent that good at Monaco if I recall, and the ferrari was much better. Could be the same story here.

It was Massa, Hamilton, Alonso, vettel or poles and the Winners were Alonso, Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel. Alonso is the singapore specialist; 1st,3rd,3rd,4th. Taking 3rd in that shitheap R29 AND fastest lap? Unreal performance.

mclaren and ferrari have good history at Thompson Road too. I know, it is a different story ofcourse but is that malaysia or Singapore after 1964 (independance?).

He has done well with Ferrari but with Renault I don't count that because of the crash-gate scandal.

Alonso still won that race, Crash-gate or not. He still had about 45 laps to manage after the accident. He also finished on the podium in 2009, that was phenomenal.
