I'm unsure where to sit for the Singapore GP - where did you go for?
I'll be in the Stamford Grandstand.

Nice!

Where's everyone staying while in SG?
Hotel in the Indian quarter (aka red light district ) described in one trip advisor review as being '...less scary than others in the area....'

Handy for Marina Bay and airport via MRT.

Not really. 2017 spec tyres. They're quite a lot bigger; I think I approve.

Desperation? Or a smart marketing move?


Make 2017 your first live F1™ experience at Silverstone by spreading the cost of your tickets over 7 monthly instalments with 0% APR Representative.

Well, everything else is available interest free. Silverstone isn't exactly cheap either. Tickets, hotel, parking coming in at £7-800PP.

I think I'm right in saying that the British GO has the most expensive ticket price.

2016 will be remembered as the year Rosberg was handed the championship.
Next year it will be RB back on top, so 2016 will be Rosberg's only title.

He's not right at all, and I think will soon say so. Other drivers have had problems, just not as many.

Conspiracy theory will only serve to scramble Hamilton's head. Certainly he has had more than his fair share of bad luck mechanically this season.

Although if he does the 1-2 over Rosberg in 3 of the remaining races that would even things up, near as. He ought to concentrate on that.

But the way Red Bull are going now 1-2 is becoming less certain and their drivers are hard racers.
