Not as funny as Detective Inspector Blundell on Sniffpetrol :)
‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello. Detective Inspector Mark Blundell done be reporting. On Sunday 25 September I done proceed in an easterly direction to the Singapore Grand Prix, what done be in Singapore. Driving conditions in this event done be unusual because it done be at night what is, in fairness, dark.

Here I done observe a silver Mercedes vehicle driven by an IC1 male, one Mr Michael Schumacher of Germany, who done misjudge the speed of a white Sauber vehicle driven by an IC2 male, one Mr Sergio Perez of Mexico. This done then cause Mr Schumacher’s Mercedes to done have what were, to be honest, a crash. This done be an important lesson about taking care to done correctly judge distances at night, especially if you done be an elderly motorist.

Earlier in the evening I done also observe a similar incident involving a silver McLaren vehicle driven by an IC3 male, one Mr Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain, what done make contact with a red Ferrari vehicle driven by an IC2 male, one Mr Felipe Massa of increasingly limited ability. For Mr Hamilton this done be an important lesson in remembering that you done be an extremely talented racer and done need to just calm the f*** down. Over and out.

Lewis's problem at the moment is that he is simply too aggressive. The conservatism he showed in Monza demonstrates that he can be a sensible driver, and I'd recommend that he drive conservatively for the rest of the year. His aggression paid off in the past as he had confidence as well, however recently he seems to have lost this confidence, and this is causing his aggression to not pay off. A conservative driving style for the remainder of the year, teamed up with the winter break and a hopefully competitive car next year I feel could do wonders for Lewis.

tricky for Hamilton as he can't seem to get it right at the moment, in Monza he was too conservative (Button sailed past Schu) and then in Singapore he made a silly mistake again. He might be trying too hard to force situations.

Singapore official race edit is now available. Smedley told Massa "Destroy his (Hamilton) race as much as you can".

He didn't have to anyway. Hamilton destroyed both of their races. Karma for Massa and Rob?

this is why I have maximum respect for mark webber;

'It is harder to manage the grip away from the start but if you get it right - as Fernando Alonso did in Monza - it makes a big difference.

For all that, my starts have been poor this year.


During the race, I had another battle with my old mate Fernando. I seem to have spent a lot of time in his company on the track recently.

I had to pass him twice in Singapore. The first time was on lap 10, when he was running out of grip from his tyres. I got him into turn 15 after setting him up in turn 14.

The second time looked more spectacular, into the turn 10 chicane, which is not normally a passing place. I heard a few people saying I caught Fernando napping but, to be fair, he was blocked by the Toro Rosso in front of us.

I didn't know who it was at the time - I have since found out it was Jaime Alguersuari - but the Toro Rossos are traditionally the later cars to give way.

All the front-running guys have been similarly affected. In this case, I benefited and that's why I could pounce in turn 10. Jaime snookered Fernando a little bit and I was able to checkmate him.

It was a rewarding manoevure because I was on similar-age tyres to Fernando, which means, had it not been for Alguersuari, I would probably have had to take a few more laps to get past him, waiting for his tyres to go off'

Said live the toro rosso held alonso up ;)
