The 25 corners that make up the Singapore GP track and its twisting nature, coupled with the tropical heat make it a tough test of stamina and concentration for the drivers. While Monza brings the curtain down on the European part of the season in classic style, the Singapore Grand Prix reignites the Asian part with what has become a signature event for Formula 1 in the new millennium. F1 Singapore is today a true tourism brand, which attracts thousands of visitors to the Asian city state.
The team has been working really hard for us to maintain the level of performance
Isack Hadjar “It’s my first time in Singapore and I’ve always dreamt of driving around here. I feel very good and I know the team has been working really hard for us to maintain the level of performance we've had in recent races, so we’ll definitely try to achieve another great result. It’s one of those tracks where anything can happen; Qualifying will be key, and if we get into the right window, I think we can aim for another Q3 and good points. I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel and driving under the night lights.”
“When I was a kid, the Marina Bay Street Circuit was the track that I raced most in the F1 game, so it quickly became one of my favourite races of the year. Singapore was also my third Grand Prix and first points in Formula One, so it always brings back great memories. It's such a beautiful place, but also very humid and hot, so I expect it to be tough. However, I'm very excited to return this weekend.”
