I will not look back on 2026 fondly (either the year itself or F1) but Verstappen back at the sharp end just feels right.

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 17h

🇸🇬 summary: - Verstappen is looking mighty this weekend - A fantastic final lap from Leclerc to start 2nd - Norris lucky he didn’t get penalised for his sprint antics - Two fast cars at the back should be fun to watch - KA just needs to keep his nose clean tomorrow

Verstappen is on pole in 🇸🇬, Leclerc starts 2nd! Hamilton will be behind in 3rd Antonelli lines up 4th, Norris is 5th Piastri goes from 6th. 7th, 8th and 9th: Gasly, Lawson and Lindblad Hulkenberg moves up to 10th with Russell’s penalty

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Should have been the end of his career, but ce la vie.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Out in Q2- Hulkenberg, Bearman, Ocon, Sainz, Bortoleto and Colapinto

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Alonso confirms he’ll change his engine ahead of the race, so he joins Russell and Hadjar at the rear of the field, presumably 21st as he set a time and Hadjar didn’t.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Starting one place lower than he did back in 2008…

100

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

End of Q1, drivers eliminated- Alonso, Albon, Stroll, Perez, Bottas, Hadjar. That’s Fernando’s worst qualifying result in Singapore since 2008.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Hadjar will join Russell at the back of the grid as he fails to set a time in qualifying. Should be fun to see them both coming through the field.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Norris gets away with wiping his teammate out of the sprint, the stewards ruling both drivers contributed to the incident.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Hadjar is out of qualifying, so he’ll be at the back of the grid alongside Russell.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Despite his huge gap in the championship, Antonelli can’t win the title until Austin at the earliest. Meanwhile, Ocon has found the barriers on his out lap.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

First up out of the pit lane is Hulkenberg, who scored Audi’s first sprint points earlier today.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

Of all the street tracks and night races introduced over the years, Marina Bay is my favourite. Not the greatest track for overtaking but I enjoy seeing it under the floodlights. Time to qualify properly!

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 18h

I paid for my PS5 in instalments, I couldn’t justify doing that now and that was only a year ago.

120

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 19h

Or, and this is a very radical idea I know, just don’t have any sprint races. I gave up watching them in 2023 and I can’t remember a single thing of the ones I did watch.

010

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 19h

Because we’ve seen a lot of that 🪀 racing this year when drivers have depleted batteries.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 22h

I hate to say it, but no action will be taken until something horrible happens.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 22h

Yet another accident caused by the cars deploying too much energy. There’s going to be a massive crash one day, which sadly may be the only thing the FIA will take action over.

010

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 22h

That and damaging his car before qualifying is a risk.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 22h

You’re watching then? I gave up on sprints years ago

100

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Always found this to be overrated. Maybe I just don’t gel it with it.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Which means they were satisfied he acted accordingly. If he hadn’t, they would have penalised him. Hamilton himself had similar reprimands in Spain and Silverstone.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Well he was, because the stewards ruled an accident could have occurred. Maybe I was wrong about the first bit, but the stewards didn’t penalise him as he moved to prevent an even more dangerous situation.

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

So Max was trying to prevent an accident- another mark against the 2026 cars.

The casual fan won’t care, because there are ‘more overtakes’. And Domenicali’s nothing but a shill, look at how he praised Monza.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

This was bound to happen at Singapore, it’s well known for glitches.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Don’t make any changes to the car and he’s right in contention to break that Singapore curse.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Happens quite a bit in Singapore, which could make the race starts fun.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

This has got to be the most ridiculous venue for a sprint weekend to date- and I happen to quite like Marina Bay as a track. Luckily I gave up watching sprints years ago.

The ‘outlandish’ villains have kind of become Bond tradition and in 2026, we don’t want a Musk or a Farage as you say, we need someone broad and witty. I haven’t read the book yet but my idea for a modern day Bond novel is a little less grounded perhaps.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I think it’s possible to have Bond in the modern day, but you kind of need to have an outlandish villain, make it escapism.

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I did too! The year may be going by fast, but we’re firmly into my favourite season now.

100

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Even if Singapore is dry, the close proximity of all the buildings has caused transponder glitches in the past, so it’s going to be a challenge regardless.

000

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Earlier this season, I did say I’d be happy if he won Singapore.

Finally able to leave the house with a jacket on today, feels properly autumnal walking around. Somehow it makes me more relaxed this time of year.

I like the current layout of Marina Bay, it’s a much more flowing track now. Then again, I think it’s my favourite street track anyway. Although it’s also a place where transponders can be disrupted, so a repeat of the farcical scenes in Malaysia might happen.

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Sadly that’s true, but when he brought it back originally, everyone was talking about Doctor Who. It was one of those shows people talked about. It’s certainly how I became a fan, saw my first episode when I was 11.

010

Callum B 94 @calb1994.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It’s a shame RTD ended up being one of the reasons the show collapsed, because, whatever his flaws as a show runner, he made it event television.

He’s been the standout driver since Austria, even with what happened in Zandvoort. I can see another win before the season is out.
