Watched the #F1 highlights on C4+1 so Dad could watch the finale of British Touring Cars. After the final race, they got all the #BTCC drivers on the podium for an end-of-year photo - and had a ceremony for ITV's Louise Goodman, who is retiring after 30 years in motorsport. What a career 👏

🤣 You're especially terrifying to Oscar Piastri.

Congratulations!!! 🥳 🥳🥳 I don't think I'm going to complete mine this year, but I'm already thinking up ideas for next season.

The BBC live text called it "Dalek chat" 🤣 Max certainly exterminated his Singapore stat today.

010

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Shout-out to Liam Lawson 7th for Racing Bulls and Nico Hulkenberg 8th for Audi 👏 Both ahead of George Russell and Isack Hadjar who completed the top 10. #F1 #SingaporeGP

Toto Wolff suggesting Kimi needs a cushion under his backside to help him with seeing track limits 🤣 To be fair, he is one of the shorter drivers. #F1 #SingaporeGP

Max wraps up the win at #SingaporeGP to finally end that stat of it being one of only 2 tracks (along with Madrid) that he had never won at. Leclerc is 2nd for Ferrari with Kimi Antonelli 3rd. Max's radio is still broken, we can't hear his response to GP's praise. #F1 #SingaporeGP

Piastri eventually gets past Lewis Hamilton and into 5th. Lewis tried to keep him at bay, but it's hard to defend that well when your tyres are *gone*. #F1 #SingaporeGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Isack Hadjar has made it into the points from the pit-lane 👏 He is 10th behind George Russell. #F1 #SingaporeGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Bono is on the radio to Kimi *again* about track limits. We don't think he actually has a penalty yet, but he can't be far off... #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

No further action from the stewards for Lewis. Good. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Lewis is under investigation by the stewards? Oh come on, he followed the guidelines of where you're supposed to go round the bollards... and it would feel mean given that his tyres are toast. Norris also went off - and *didn't* follow the required route. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Lewis's tyres are dead 😩 Norris has now got past him into 4th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

Antonelli gets past Norris into 4th after Norris tried to overtake Hamilton and messed it up. Lewis went off track, rejoined properly and stayed 3rd, but Antonelli is all over the back of him. And Antonelli is now past and up into 3rd. #F1 #SingaporeGP

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 7h

GP and Max having to resort to signals on the radio as it's dropping out and affecting communication. The 5Live team are wondering if radio issues may explain why Lewis didn't pit for a second time earlier - did Ferrari try and call him in and Lewis didn't hear it? #F1 #SingaporeGP

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

5s time penalty for Antonelli for track limits. I don't think we're surprised 😂 He's far enough ahead of Piastri that it won't affect him at the moment. #F1 #SingaporeGP

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Gasly defending with everything he's got against George Russell, but the Mercedes does eventually get past him into 9th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Leclerc gets past Hamilton and up to 2nd. He's clearly the faster of the two Ferraris at the moment. Lewis has still only had that one pit-stop. His tyres are ancient by everyone else's standards. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Lewis is also reporting issues with stopping his Ferrari, while Bono has been on the radio to reassure Kimi Antonelli that his brakes are improving - and to remind him about track limits again. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Lance Stroll shenanigans are inevitable. Doesn't matter which circuit, he will find a way to cause issues.

020

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Antonelli reports problems with his brakes 😬 Not what you want on a street circuit. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Russell also pitted - just as the VSC was ending. Verstappen is still leading ahead of Lewis and Leclerc - and Max's team radio is having problems. About the only problem he's had all day so far. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Now Lance Stroll is off the track, has got going again, then pulled off near a gap/marshal's post. VSC is called. Leclerc is called into the pits. He's on mediums - which should be more durable. He's put on soft tyres and rejoins 3rd. Antonelli also pits for softs and rejoins 5th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Deja vu all over again. He needs to make his own version of Mario Ballotelli's "Why Always Me?" T-shirt.

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Antonelli is reporting something "leaking" between his feet 😬 Mercedes were working on his car on the grid - is it related to that? Verstappen and Norris have also pitted, rejoining in 1st and 6th respectively. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Colapinto's Alpine has stopped on track. He's trying to get going again. It says everything about how dull this race has been so far that the commentators are excited about the merest *possibility* of a safety car. Colapinto has not been able to rejoin. He is parked up and out. #F1 #SingaporeGP

120

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Max is nearly 20s in the lead... he's clearly determined to end this stat of never having won the #SingaporeGP #F1

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

And now Kimi Antonelli is pitting, from soft tyres to mediums. He rejoins in 6th, behind Lewis Hamilton. Leclerc is also being called into the pits. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Bono has been on the radio to Antonelli now about track limits, although he hasn't got a warning from the stewards yet. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 8h

Lewis Hamilton makes his first pit-stop, from medium tyres on to soft. He rejoins in 7th, meanwhile Norris tries to dob Antonelli in about track limits - which has been a persistent issue for Kimi all season, not just this weekend. #F1 #SingaporeGP

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

At this rate, we might not see a race this season where all 22 cars finish 😩

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

Quick work by the marshals there. Isack Hadjar is steadily making his way up from the back, now in 17th, having started from the pit-lane. George Russell has got up to 13th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

Bortoleto has pulled off the circuit near the pit-lane exit. Says he has gearbox issue. Virtual Safety Car is used, but will the pit-lane stay open with him parked up there? Marshals are on the case already 👏 #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

And now Bearman is up to 10th 🐻 He's going well so far. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

Someone please tell the Haas guys *not* to copy McLaren 😬 Good move by Bearman in the end though, to get up to 11th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

Verstappen just about keeps the lead at the start. Leclerc gave him a good challenge, but stays 2nd. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

"The Chain" is in my ears... and the 5Live team are momentarily confused as to which country they're in 🤣 It is the #SingaporeGP this week, we're not in Malaysia any more. Ask Valtteri Bottas - he cycled from Sepang to this race. #F1

120

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 9h

I have my drink and snacks ready for the #SingaporeGP Max and the two Ferraris into Turn 1 could get tasty... #F1

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10h

Not going to lie, that post confused me for a moment until I realised you were talking about Celtic. Must be especially awkward being a footballer with that name, after what happened to poor Diogo 😭

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Sounds like me and my dad - when we watch football, it's a running joke that if either of us leaves the room to go to the loo, make a cuppa etc, someone *will* score a goal 🤣

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Verstappen takes pole for the #SingaporeGP ahead of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Kimi Antonelli qualified 4th, ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell, who will have a grid penalty. That will promote Piastri up to start 6th, followed by Gasly, Lawson and Lindblad. #F1

000

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Colapinto hits the wall in the Alpine, gets going again, but will be out anyway. Both Lindblad and Lawson get through into Q3 for Racing Bulls, as does Pierre Gasly for Alpine 👏 Out at the end of Q2: Hulkenberg in 11th, Bearman, Ocon, Sainz, Bortoleto and Colapinto ends up 16th. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Out at the end of Q1: Alonso, Albon, Stroll, Perez, Bottas, and Hadjar who did not set a time. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Looks like quali might be over for Isack Hadjar - it doesn't look like they can sort out the issue with his car. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Seriously?? No further action against Norris for crashing into his team-mate in the sprint? #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Nooo! Hadjar's car has broken down on him again 😭 Or has it... he's got going again. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Looks like it will be declared after qualifying, so presumably that might mean a grid penalty for tomorrow.

010

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Lovely to hear Isack Hadjar thanking his mechanics as he sets off out of the pits for qualifying 😍 Esteban Ocon has hit the wall! Looks like he's got back going again, but it won't help. Stroll has also gone off, but avoided the walls. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Quali coverage is on - and I can hear "The Chain" playing in the background 😍 Not sure if it's the circuit's music choice, playing in the commentator's box or as background to their programme. #F1 #SingaporeGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

He did achieve a 3rd place at Monza when he was driving for Williams, but that was also a chaotic, rain-affected race IIRC. He can do OK if the car is good, but where Alonso can wring points out of a crap car, Lance seems to give up trying. His attitude stinks, but he knows he won't be sacked.
