F1 - Singapore Grand Prix – The heat of the night
Sebastian’s fond memories of Singapore
Maranello, 13 September – Two weeks on from the Italian Grand Prix, the Formula 1 circus hits #singapore to tackle the Marina Bay circuit for 61 laps of the 5.065 kilometre track. This is the eighth edition of the #event, which on its debut in 2008 was the first ever night race on the calendar. After the totally made-in-Italy feel of the Monza autodrome, the South East Asian city-state offers a radical change of scene, with its high humidity and risk of rain making the outcome of the race, illuminated by around 1700 floodlights, very unpredictable.
“I have excellent memories from previous years in #singapore. I was able to win there a couple of times in the past” says #sebastianvettel, who last year led all the way from pole to the chequered flag to score his third win for Scuderia #ferrari. “It’s quite tricky a Grand Prix. It happens at night and it’s quite different from what you see around the track to make up your reference points. The track is very rough, bumpy, long, with long-lasting laps. So, you need to stay focused for a long time. It’s usually quite hot and humid. So it’s a hard work inside the car, but I think it’s something we all enjoy. We try to stay in the European time, which is quite funny because we stay up very late and wake up in the middle of the day. So, it’s a bit special for all the drivers and all the teams to operate.”
