George Russell acaba de hacer la pole en Singapur y lo mas loco de todo esto es que el tipo nisiquiera tiene contrato firmado para el proximo año con Mercedes, osea imaginate el nivel de presion que tiene el britanico negociando con Toto Wolff mientras que al mismo tiempo tiene que demostrar que vale cada centavo que esta pidiendo, no cualquiera aguanta esa presion y sale a pista a hacer dos vueltas perfectas en Q3 donde la primera ya era suficiente para la pole pero el cabron mejora por 7 milesimas mas solo por que puede, solo por que quiere mandarle un mensaje a Toto de que se esta perdiendo de algo grande si no le da lo que quiere, basicamente George le esta diciendo a Mercedes que se pongan las pilas o se van a arrepentir ahora lo cierto es que ahora mismo solo Mercedes, Red Bull y McLaren tienen autos altamente competitivos pero lo de Russell es el talento. Lo mas interesante de todo esto es que Verstappen quedo segundo a casi dos decimas de George, muy cerca pero no lo suficiente, Max estaba frustrado por que sintio que tenia la pole en sus manos hasta que se encontro con Lando en su ultima vuelta rapida y ahi se jodio todo, bueno no creo exactamente pero por alli iva, Max estaba subiendo en los dos primeros sectores y de repente Lando aparece moviendose lento entrando a la chicane final y pues Max tuvo que levantar el pie del acelerador y abandonon la vuelta, despues GP le dice por radio "you can thank your mate" que te costo la pole y Max solo responde que lo va a recordar, osea ya sabemos que Max no perdona estas cosas y Lando acaba de ganarse un enemigo en el peor momento posible cuando esta peleando por su primer campeonato mundial, sino preguntenle a Checo lo que le paso en Interlagos cuando Max no le sedio el punto por lo que habia hecho en Monaco esa temporada, El internet no olvida no perdona y Verstappen tampoco.

George Russell just took pole in Singapore and the craziest thing about all this is that the guy doesn't even have a signed contract for next year with Mercedes, so imagine the level of pressure the Brit has negotiating with Toto Wolff while at the same time he has to prove he's worth every penny he's asking for, not just anyone can handle that pressure and go out on track to do two perfect laps in Q3 where the first one was already enough for pole but the bastard improves by 7 thousandths more just because he can, just because he wants to send Toto a message that he's missing out on something big if he doesn't give him what he wants, basically George is telling Mercedes to step it up or they're going to regret it now the truth is that right now only Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren have highly competitive cars but Russell's thing is talent. The most interesting thing about all this is that Verstappen finished second almost two tenths behind George, very close but not close enough, Max was frustrated because he felt he had pole in his hands until he ran into Lando on his last flying lap and that's where everything got screwed up, well I don't think exactly but he was on his way there, Max was climbing in the first two sectors and suddenly Lando appears moving slowly coming into the final chicane and well Max had to lift off the throttle and abandoned the lap, then GP tells him over the radio "you can thank your mate" that cost you pole and Max just responds that he'll remember it, so we already know that Max doesn't forgive these things and Lando just made himself an enemy at the worst possible moment when he's fighting for his first world championship, if you don't believe me just ask Checo what happened to him in Interlagos when Max didn't give him the point for what he had done in Monaco that season, The internet doesn't forget doesn't forgive and neither does Verstappen.
McLaren simplemente no tuvo el ritmo este fin de semana y eso es super raro por que este circuito se supone que les tiene que ir de maravilla, tanto Oscar como Lando quedaron tercero y quinto respectivamente pero la diferencia es que Oscar almenos logro meterse en el top tres mientras que Lando quedo atras de Kimmy Antonelli quien esta en su primera temporada con Mercedes, eso tiene que doler bastante para Lando sobre todo por que en FP1 FP2 y FP3 el estaba volando en la pista, ahora ese es el problema de comparar las practicas contra la Quali, pero cuando llego el momento de la verdad en Q3 simplemente no pudo entregar, Andrea Stella salio a decir que el auto no estaba manejando los baches y los pianos tan bien como el año pasado cuando Lando gano desde la pole aqui mismo en Singapur, resulta que McLaren dejo de desarrollar el MCL39 hace rato y ahora otros equipos como Red Bull que siguieron trayendo mejoras los alcanzaron y hasta los pasaron en algunos aspectos, lo cual me suena a bs por que iwal Verstappen gano la temporada pasada. Lando tambien salio a quejarse de que no se sentia bien, que estaba enfermo los dias anteriores y que el auto tenia mucho understeer y que los neumaticos traseros se desgastaban muy rapido, pero la verdad cada vez que Lando abre la boca ultimamente es para quejarse de algo, si no es el auto es la salud o es el equipo o es cualquier otra cosa, el tipo no puede simplemente admitir que tuvo un mal dia y ya, siempre tiene que haber una excusa y eso no es de campeon mundial sinceramente.

McLaren simply didn't have the pace this weekend and that's super weird because this circuit is supposed to be perfect for them, both Oscar and Lando finished third and fifth respectively but the difference is that Oscar at least managed to get into the top three while Lando finished behind Kimmy Antonelli who is in his first season with Mercedes, that has to hurt quite a bit for Lando especially because in FP1 FP2 and FP3 he was flying on track, now that's the problem with comparing practice against Quali, but when the moment of truth came in Q3 he simply couldn't deliver, Andrea Stella came out to say that the car wasn't handling the bumps and kerbs as well as last year when Lando won from pole right here in Singapore, turns out McLaren stopped developing the MCL39 a while ago and now other teams like Red Bull that kept bringing upgrades caught up to them and even passed them in some aspects, which sounds like bs to me because Verstappen still won last season. Lando also came out complaining that he wasn't feeling well, that he was sick the previous days and that the car had too much understeer and that the rear tires were wearing out too fast, but honestly every time Lando opens his mouth lately it's to complain about something, if it's not the car it's his health or it's the team or it's anything else, the guy can't simply admit that he had a bad day and that's it, there always has to be an excuse and that's not world champion behavior honestly.
Lo que si me sorprendio y me da felicidad fue Kimmy Antonelli terminando cuarto, el rookie esta en su primera temporada nunca habia corrido en Singapur en ninguna categoria y sale a clasificar adelante de Lando Norris quien supuestamente esta peleando el campeonato, eso dice mucho del talento de Kimmy y tambien dice mucho de Mercedes que trajeron un nuevo ala delantera que flexiona dependiendo de las curvas y les dio menos resistencia aerodinamica en las rectas y mas carga en las esquinas, esa modificacion fue clave para que George y Kimmy dominaran el primer sector donde Mercedes fue consistentemente mas rapido que todos los demas incluyendo a Verstappen que solo fue 1 decima mas lento pero esa decima al final del dia es la diferencia entre la pole y el segundo lugar, Kimmy me recuerda un poco a lo que fue Piastri en su primera temporada. George en la conferencia de prensa despues de clasificar dijo que el nisiquiera sabe de donde salio esa vuelta, que en Q2 y Q3 todo empezo a fluir y el auto simplemente respondia a todo lo que el pedia, George maneja con un estilo muy agresivo tomando las curvas con el volante casi recto y usando mucho el tren trasero del auto para rotar, es un estilo que lo comparan con el de Ayrton Senna en su epoca y cuando George esta en su zona es practicamente imposible vencerlo en clasificacion lo malo es que no es todo el tiempo y pues yo diria que es mas culpa de Mercedes que de Russell, el problema va a ser mañana en carrera por que ese estilo tan agresivo no es facil de mantener por 60 vueltas con tanques llenos y neumaticos que se van degradando.

What did surprise me and makes me happy was Kimmy Antonelli finishing fourth, the rookie is in his first season he had never raced in Singapore in any category and he goes out to qualify ahead of Lando Norris who supposedly is fighting for the championship, that says a lot about Kimmy's talent and also says a lot about Mercedes that brought a new front wing that flexes depending on the corners and gave them less aerodynamic drag on the straights and more downforce in the corners, that modification was key for George and Kimmy to dominate the first sector where Mercedes was consistently faster than everyone else including Verstappen who was only 1 tenth slower but that tenth at the end of the day is the difference between pole and second place, Kimmy reminds me a bit of what Piastri was in his first season. George in the press conference after qualifying said that he doesn't even know where that lap came from, that in Q2 and Q3 everything started to flow and the car simply responded to everything he asked for, George drives with a very aggressive style taking corners with the steering wheel almost straight and using a lot of the rear end of the car to rotate, it's a style that they compare to Ayrton Senna's in his time and when George is in his zone he's practically impossible to beat in qualifying the bad thing is that it's not all the time and well I'd say it's more Mercedes' fault than Russell's, the problem is going to be tomorrow in the race because that aggressive style isn't easy to maintain for 60 laps with full tanks and tires that keep degrading.
La otra historia del dia fue Ferrari que nuevamente decepciono quedando sexto y septimo con Hamilton adelante de Leclerc por un pelo, Charles salio super frustrado diciendo que fue un fin de semana de mierda y que hicieron cambios al auto que lo empeoraron en vez de mejorarlo, Ferrari trajo modificaciones al ala trasera y al beam wing pero nada funciono y terminaron mas lejos del podio de lo que deberian en un circuito de calle que supuestamente les favorece. Recientemente se ha estado rumorando bastante en internet la posible salida de Leclerc pero a donde?? Toto lo mas seguro se quede con Russell y Kimi, Red Bull con Verstappen y Tsunoda entonces a donde? ya los equipos prospecto, quiere decir los Williams, Audi, Aston Martin ya tiene sus pilotos fijos tambien, deverdad que no veo donde podria Leclerc ir a practicamente pedir auxilio de ese tormento que es Ferrari. Hamilton tambien se quejo pero de manera mas sutil diciendo que ellos como equipo necesitan mejorar los procesos en el pit lane por que esta perdiendo temperatura en los neumaticos y eso le esta costando rendimiento, es interesante ver como Lewis ya empieza a distanciarse del equipo refiriendose a ellos como "ellos" en vez de "nosotros" lo cual usualmente es señal de que las cosas no estan bien internamente, Ferrari tiene siete carreras mas para arreglar este desastre del SF25 pero honestamente no creo que lo logren, ya llevamos todo el año con los mismos problemas de purposing y falta de carga aerodinamica y siguen sin encontrar la solucion, bueno almenos no una que los descalifique por correr el auto demaciado bajo.

The other story of the day was Ferrari that once again disappointed finishing sixth and seventh with Hamilton ahead of Leclerc by a hair, Charles came out super frustrated saying it was a shitty weekend and that they made changes to the car that made it worse instead of better, Ferrari brought modifications to the rear wing and beam wing but nothing worked and they ended up further from the podium than they should be on a street circuit that supposedly favors them. Recently there's been a lot of rumors on the internet about Leclerc's possible exit but where to?? Toto most likely stays with Russell and Kimi, Red Bull with Verstappen and Tsunoda so where to? the prospect teams, meaning Williams, Audi, Aston Martin already have their fixed drivers too, I really don't see where Leclerc could go to practically ask for help from that torture that is Ferrari. Hamilton also complained but in a more subtle way saying that they as a team need to improve the processes in the pit lane because he's losing temperature in the tires and that's costing him performance, it's interesting to see how Lewis is already starting to distance himself from the team referring to them as "they" instead of "we" which usually is a sign that things aren't going well internally, Ferrari has seven more races to fix this SF25 disaster but honestly I don't think they'll manage it, we've been all year with the same porpoising problems and lack of aerodynamic downforce and they still can't find the solution, well at least not one that disqualifies them for running the car too low.
Mañana va a ser interesante ver como Max ataca en la salida por que sabemos que el no maneja con cautela nunca, si Max tiene aunque sea un milimetro de espacio va a meter el auto por el lado interno en la curva uno sin pensarlo dos veces, el problema es que la parte sucia de la pista esta de su lado y eso le va a complicar la vida bastante por que no va a tener agarre inicial, ademas George esta en el lado limpio y tiene ventaja de la pole asi que va a poder tapar cualquier intento de Max en la frenada, Oscar esta tercero y tambien va a estar al acecho de cualquier error que cometa Max asi que la primera vuelta va a ser puro caos, aqui la opcion mas ventajosa para Max es que de alguna manera Oscar ataque primero que Max y cuando George trate de defender pues Max haga el pase pero si se lansa el a atacar primero creo que tiene menos chance, creo que es dejar que Oscar ataque o defender su posicion y tratar de ganarle al Mercedes en ritmo de carrera. Si George logra mantener la punta en la salida creo que va a ganar la carrera al estilo Canada donde simplemente se va en el horizonte y nadie lo alcanza, Max va a tener que hacer magia con la estrategia y esperar un safety car que le de una parada gratis pero en un circuito donde es casi imposible rebasar va a ser muy dificil que recupere posiciones si pierde lugares en la salida, McLaren deberia sumar suficientes puntos para acercarse mas al campeonato de constructores pero en pilotos la cosa se pone mas complicada por que Oscar esta adelante de Lando en la parrilla y si termina adelante tambien en carrera pues la presion sobre Lando va a aumentar exponencialmente, es el momento perfecto a ver donde quedan la babosada de papaya rules ahora que Oscar y Lando pelean puntos, mascara contra cabellera.

Tomorrow is going to be interesting to see how Max attacks at the start because we know he never drives cautiously, if Max has even a millimeter of space he's going to stick the car on the inside in turn one without thinking twice, the problem is that the dirty part of the track is on his side and that's going to complicate his life quite a bit because he's not going to have initial grip, plus George is on the clean side and has the advantage of pole so he's going to be able to cover any attempt from Max on the brakes, Oscar is third and he's also going to be lurking for any mistake Max makes so the first lap is going to be pure chaos, here the most advantageous option for Max is that somehow Oscar attacks first before Max and when George tries to defend well Max makes the pass but if he launches to attack first I think he has less chance, I think it's let Oscar attack or defend his position and try to beat the Mercedes on race pace. If George manages to keep the lead at the start I think he's going to win the race Canada style where he simply disappears into the horizon and nobody catches him, Max is going to have to work magic with strategy and hope for a safety car that gives him a free stop but on a circuit where it's almost impossible to overtake it's going to be very difficult for him to recover positions if he loses places at the start, McLaren should score enough points to get closer in the constructors championship but in drivers things get more complicated because Oscar is ahead of Lando on the grid and if he finishes ahead in the race too well the pressure on Lando is going to increase exponentially, it's the perfect moment to see where the papaya rules bullshit stands now that Oscar and Lando are fighting for points, mask vs hair.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡤⠐⠒⠂⠀⠐⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
