Lando’s ‘Message'? Ricciardo’s Last Dance? | 2024 Singapore GP Review | F1 Nation Podcast

In the Marina Bay paddock, Tom Clarkson, F1 Correspondent and Presenter Lawrence Barretto and Sam Power from Australia’s Channel 10 react to a dominant Lando Norris victory at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Was the McLaren driver’s 20-second winning margin a message to the world, himself, McLaren or championship rival Max Verstappen about what he’s capable of? Or perhaps all of the above? And how much confidence will Norris take from a much better race start?

Lando's race engineer Will Joseph joins the pod to discuss how they produced such a formidable performance and how the whole team are rallying together for his title challenge.

Plus, was Singapore Daniel Ricciardo’s last race in Formula 1? Lawrence tells us what it was like to interview a rather emotional Daniel after the Grand Prix and the guys discuss why Franco Colapinto could be a great option for Red Bull in the near future after the Argentine enjoyed another impressive weekend for Williams.

Daniel ricardo, you are one of my favourite drivers, I was with you since the start. Thank you for the happiness you brought to the grid❤

[carlo-niqg]

Hopefuly this is NOT daniels last race but, hats off to the prince who never became a king. He will is no doubt part of formula one history.

[huplim]

Thank you Lawrence for that kind interview with Danny…❤

[Mustafaalqaysi]

Daniel we are miss 😢 ❤️ 😔 💔 you in the sport all the best

Can't believe we're losing the Honey Badger while Lance Stroll is still has a seat in Formula 1

[maralynthomson]

His last dance should have been his final race with McLaren. He wasted every lifeline thereafter. Plenty talented youngsters out there.

[Marcus_Ramour]

DR over Perez on pure driving but there are other commercial elements at play I suspect.

[ddduncannn]

"statement victory" never heard any of this in 2021 when Max and Lewis took turns in "statement victories"

[leongt]

Vcarb made sure Dan didn't go out on a high with their tyre strategy in the last 2 races and I can remember other races this year where they dropped the ball

[daarom]

1:42 not put a foot wrong? Literally almost crashed out twice from the lead due to lack of concentration. He was extremely fortunate to not damage anything.

[biboyt]

It's so sad to see a legend leaving the f1 grid while he dont deserve to

[Oscarpiastrifan]

Formula 1 won’t be the same without Danny 😕

[leod]

Whether he joins the Red Bull team or not, it would be incredibly interesting to match Liam Lawson, Yuki Tsunoda and Franco Colapinto on the RB20 or any other Red Bull car that nor Liam neither Yuki had driven before so they are all on the same page, even if it's on a test day once the season ends.

They have already competed against each other in 2020, when they both participated in the Toyota Racing Series, in New Zealand.

Liam was the defending champion, driving for M2 Competition, which was the best team on the grid. Yuki also had a seat at M2 and Colapinto drove for Kiwi Motorsport, arguably the third best team, right after winning the 2019 Spanish F4 championship. Both Yuki and Colapinto raced for the first and only time in the series.

Liam and Yuki (17 and 19 years old, respectively) were fellow Red Bull Junior drivers while the 16-year old Colapinto was still struggling to find sponsorship and join an academy program.

The Championship was won by Brazilian driver Igor Fraga, who also raced for M2 Competition, Liam was the runner-up, Colapinto finished third and Yuki was fourth.


If Liam finally replaces Daniel RIC, he will drive alongside Yuki on the same team once again, and both will compete against the younger Colapinto on a different machinery. I'm eager to see how the last nine races unfold!

[StreetDreamzTT]

I mean, Daniel had an ok run. Not everyone can be wdc. Hope he comes into media tho. He would really shine. Would like him as a host.

[solomon]

You better not drop ricciardo … especially before austin? Are you mad?

[mattdally]

Daniel got the most out of his charisma and smile more than anyone in the last 4 years. Talent money and results are what get you a seat in F1! everyone's time comes to a close. farewell

[nieko]

No foot wrong? I saw 2 mistakes that could have cost Lando.
He even says so himself.

[johanfeenstra]

Formula 1 is now boycotting Max Verstappen? haha

[LaChartre]

Controversial opinion but I think Max is very happy to sit back and let Lando win.

[JLgG]

Could it have been that Mercedes / Hamilton not bet on an early Safety Car call that would have given Lewis fresh Mediums to move his car forward when others would have been out of their Medium option?
