Talk:2015 Singapore Grand Prix

New track layout
With the modifications to the track, I am trying to find information if the FIA is classifying this as a new layout, thus reseting all lap records and such. Formula1.com is still showing the previous layout. The FIA reclassified Monaco earlier this year when they did their changes at turn 12 (shortened the track length by 3m), so I am wondering if they did so here.

 * Formula One has updated the track layout. The issue is resolved. Twirly Pen  ( Speak up ) 03:57, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Table
I see you switched the table format here. I'd say we either do it for all articles or for none. I have long advocated to switch back to Wikitables, so I would be fine with that, but I don't feel as strongly about it as before since the visibility problems of the new tables seem to be resolved.

 * , that wasn't me. An IP made that edit. Twirly Pen  ( Speak up ) 11:39, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, I switched in the line when I looked into the history. I changed it back for now. Will rewrite the race report later tonight and add the post-race section as well. Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:15, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess I'll have to do that tomorrow. Zwerg Nase (talk) 22:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)


 * That race report was me. I just crudely threw something together so something could be there while a more detailed and proper report was being worked on. I tried to touch on what I thought were the most important factors and stories/highlights of the race. Twirly Pen  ( Speak up ) 22:15, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that so that there is at least something! Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:26, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Lotus
The qualifying report states that both Lotus cars were eleminated in Q1. This is wrong as Romain Grosjaen even made it into Q3, qualifying in tenth. Tvx1 19:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I've fixed it. I believe they meant to write Sauber, as both of them were eliminated in Q1 as well as the MMs. Twirly Pen  ( Speak up ) 05:04, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That's right, my bad! Thanks! Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:19, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Pirelli rumours
I wouldn't have added it, if it had just been Wolff's comments, but the fact that Pirelli reacted made it noteworthy to me. Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)


 * As it is, it's probably not very noteworthy. Not to say the two scenarios are alike, but when Piquet Jr deliberately crashed in there in 2008 to allow Alonso a chance at victory, nothing was made immediately following the race. It only became noteworthy much later on. I'd say if it comes about later on that indeed there was some clandestine and nefarious happenings, then we can include the immediate reactions retroactively. Mercedes typically haven't been very good on exceptionally slow-speed tracks this year; here, Hungary, and even in Monaco they didn't really gallop away.
