Red Bull’s Sergio Perez has won the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix, weathering a race of intense pressure and changeable weather conditions. Perez held his nerve throughout the entire two hour duration of the Singapore Grand Prix, having taken the lead on the run to Turn 1. The Mexican driver had to weather intense pressure throughout the entire race, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc breathing down his neck for almost the whole duration – particularly following the switch to slick tyres in the final quarter of the Grand Prix. With Perez coming home as victor, the two Ferrari drivers took the rest of the podium as Leclerc had the measure of Carlos Sainz. However, Perez is under investigation for an alleged Safety Car infringement – the stewards are set to examine the alleged infringement following the race.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has discussed Max Verstappen’s need to “blow off steam” after his team made a critical qualifying mistake. Verstappen will start Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix from eighth on the grid following an uncharacteristic operational error from Red Bull during the critical Q3 part of qualifying. With the conditions damp but drying, the drivers headed out on slick tyres to pump in lap after lap in the improving conditions. However, Red Bull instructed Verstappen to abort a late flying lap – one that would have likely secured a front-row start – in order to make the most of the best conditions on the final lap at the chequered flag. However, Verstappen’s car did not have enough fuel on board to finish the lap and return to submit a fuel sample – forcing Red Bull to instruct their driver to abort the lap. Verstappen, confused after being instructed to abort two flying laps in a row and losing out on a good starting position as a result, was furious as he … [Read more...] about Christian Horner: Max Verstappen ‘blew a valve’ in fury at qualifying error

Sergio Perez’s victory at the Singapore Grand Prix could be in doubt as Red Bull await the ruling of an FIA investigation. The Mexican led from the first corner to take the fourth win of his career, but he could have it taken away from him after the FIA announced he would be investigated after the race for a possible Safety Car infringement. With 10 minutes left of the race to go, Perez was made aware of the possible penalty and as a result, put his foot down and finished 7.595 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc. On the cool-down lap, Ferrari told their driver Perez may be given two five-second penalties which would give Leclerc the win instead. The FIA have not clarified what exactly Perez is being investigated for, but one issue could be how close he got to the Safety Car and another could be for failing to be within 10 car lengths of it, which Ferrari believe he did twice.

George Russell was left to reflect on what could have been as he finished the Singapore Grand Prix in P14, when he believed Mercedes could have won. Formula 1 went racing in Singapore for the first time since 2019 and it was a race which offered plenty of risk and reward as a storm left the track slippery for the delayed start. Russell had a frustrating qualifying session as he failed to make the top 10, then started the race from the pit lane after Mercedes fitted his W13 with a new power unit. There were further setbacks to come, including a tangle with Mick Schumacher’s Haas which resulted in a puncture for both drivers. Russell, the first to gamble on swapping intermediates for dry tyres, propped up the standings in Singapore after a race where he believed Mercedes had the pace to top the order. Asked in the media pen if the gamble on slick tyres had been worth it, Russell replied: “We were in no man’s land, to be honest, but potentially it was, because at the … [Read more...] about Disappointed George Russell felt Mercedes ‘had a car to win’ in Singapore

Zhou Guanyu questioned the awareness of Nicholas Latifi after the Williams driver crashed into him and sent both drivers out of the Singapore Grand Prix. The duo came together on lap seven as they were going into Turn 5 as Latifi came across and pushed Zhou into the wall. The Alfa Romeo man’s front right tyre broke as he waved his hand in frustration. Zhou told his race engineer Latifi had “fully squished me into the wall” and that he did not know “what this guy was doing” as his race came to a premature end. Latifi was able to continue but not for long as he hobbled back to the pits with a puncture only to retire. The Williams driver explained his error by stating he had not seen Zhou as the two approached the corner. “I need to see the replay because when I exited for Turn 3 on the left-hand side of my mirror I didn’t see who was there,” the 27-year-old told F1.com. “Obviously in the end, I pulled back to the racing line for the braking zone. I guess he was there but I … [Read more...] about Zhou Guanyu questions Nicholas Latifi’s ‘awareness’ following ‘dangerous’ collision

George Russell says becoming the centre of social media trend was a “bit of fun” and that he enjoyed being the origin of a new meme. When an athlete’s name trends on social media, especially when they are not competing, it is rarely good news. That is a feeling Mercedes’ Russell experienced when he became the subject of a new meme shared on Twitter. Users took to the social media site to post tweets starting with “George Russell is the type of guy to…” followed by various scenarios in which the Mercedes driver might likely partake. The responses included examples such as “ask the waiter ‘what’s the damage?’ before they hand him the check”, and it even got into the paddock with drivers being asked for their response from Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz as Valtteri Bottas provided the best response. “Overtake in damp conditions at the end of the main straight at Imola,” the Finn said with a wry smile. Russell eventually got in on the act, filming himself reacting to a few of … [Read more...] about George Russell reaction to trending meme: ‘What have I said? What have I done?’

Ferrari’s Mattia Binotto believes his team might have been able to pull off the race victory in Singapore had the start gone better for Charles Leclerc. With Red Bull’s Sergio Perez winning the Singapore Grand Prix, the two Ferrari drivers completed the podium with Charles Leclerc second ahead of Carlos Sainz in third. Leclerc had taken pole position, just ahead of Perez, but the Monegasque lost out to the Mexican on the run to Turn 1. The data showed identical reaction times for the two front-row starters but Perez had much more traction as the speed picked up, giving him a clear lead into the braking zone for the first corner. Leclerc never managed to regain the initiative from Perez, with the leading duo easily pulling clear of Sainz before the first Safety Car interruption. The pair pulled away again during the middle phase of the race after the Safety Car had bunched up the field, with Perez having the pace to ease away from Leclerc in the tricky damp conditions. … [Read more...] about Mattia Binotto: Charles Leclerc’s ‘not great’ start cost him Singapore GP win

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 26 FARMERSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A sweating Bart Barber trekked across a pasture in search of Bully Graham, the would-be patriarch of the rural pastor’s fledgling cattle herd. With the temperature in the mid-90s, the 52-year-old Texan found the bull — whose nickname reflects his owner’s affection for the late Rev. Billy Graham — and 11 heifers cooling under a canopy of trees. “Hey, baby girl,” Barber said as he patted a favorite cow he dubbed Lottie Moon after the namesake of his denomination’s international missions offering. For nearly a quarter-century, Barber enjoyed relative obscurity as a minister in this town 50 miles northeast of Dallas. That changed in June as delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in Anaheim, … [Read more...] about Amid crises, rural roots anchor Southern Baptists’ president
