You know what, I'll second that. AND I'll even go as far as saying at least 1 of the McLarens makes Q2 and one finishes right outside the points.

SMOG in Singapore is a problem for the Medical Chopper. Don't know what will happen if it's still persistent by Friday.

Every team besides Mercedes is talking about how this track will be good for them. If it's good for every team, wouldn't everything just be the same?

I expect Maldonado to sprinkle his magic and shake up the field.

Unless he totally bins it on the opening lap.

Alexander Rossi to replace Roberto Merhi at Manor for five races

Alexander Rossi to replace Roberto Merhi at Manor for five races

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2015/09/1...erhi-at-manor/

Manor has announced Alexander Rossi will drive for them in “five of the remaining seven rounds of the season”.

Rossi will take the place of Roberto Merhi in the team’s driver line-up.

“I’m very thankful to race for the Manor Marussia F1 team and for their continued belief in me,” said Rossi. “I’ve been prepared for this opportunity for quite a while now. Many will know from 2014 that the team and I already have a strong relationship and there’s a bit of unfinished business for me here.”

Rossi has been driving for Racing Engineering in GP2 this year and is currently second in the standings, 108 points behind McLaren junior driver Stoffel Vandoorne. He will continue to race in GP2 at Russia and Abu Dhabi, and will make his debut for Manor at Singapore this weekend and return in Japan, the USA, Mexico and Brazil.
“I want to thank the management at Manor Marussia F1 Team and my team in the GP2 Series, Racing Engineering, for supporting both my F1 duties and the completion of an already strong GP2 campaign,” Rossi added. “Since Monza, my return to F1 came together rather quickly and seamlessly. The collective support of both Manor and Racing Engineering was instrumental in making this opportunity possible.”

Merhi will return for the team at Sochi and Yas Marina. “While Roberto is obviously disappointed, he understands that this decision is in the long-term interests of the team,” said team principal John Booth. “We thank him for his professionalism.”

“No decision has been made regarding our 2016 driver line-up and we will continue to evaluate our options during the remainder of the season.

Rossi previously came close to making his debut for the same team last year at Spa, but an 11th-hour deal for him to replace Max Chilton fell through. He will be the first American F1 driver to compete at a grand prix weekend since Scott Speed in 2007.

Renault boss says F1 exit still an option

Renault boss says F1 exit still an option

http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/...f1-exit-option

Renault chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn says there is still no clear decision on whether his company will remain in Formula One next year as it negotiates its split with Red Bull.

After nine years together Renault and Red Bull will not be partners next year, with the French car manufacturer closing on a deal to take over the Lotus F1 team as a works outfit. Ghosn said the deal is not yet done to return to the sport as a full-fledged constructor, with negotiations ongoing with both Lotus and Bernie Ecclestone.

"Our future is the subject of detailed analysis and renegotiating," Ghosn told Autocar. "We will either exit or run our own team. We don't have a clear decision yet.

"We are analysing what to do. We have been clear in saying 'don't count on us as a provider of engines'. It is clear that if you provide engines you aren't mentioned when you win and you are criticised when you have problems."

Ghosn criticised Red Bull for its attitude to poor results in the last two seasons.

"It is not a question of fair, it is a question of sportsmanship. A team should win and lose together. What has been said is a question of sportsmanship. Again I say, you should win and lose together."

Its from Indonesia, the farmers or natives burning the trees and vegetation after they harvested the fruits or something.
