SINGAPORE — It has been seen as the “toughest race of the year”, and after two years of not racing on the “bumpy” Marina Bay street circuit, Formula One (F1) drivers are looking forward to testing each other’s tenacity, driving skills and their cars for the Singapore Grand Prix.
This year, the three-day event will see practice rounds on Friday, qualifying sessions on Saturday and the race itself on Sunday evening.
He said: “2019 feels like a lifetime ago for everyone. It’s great to be back in the city and the track is epic to drive. It's a very bumpy ride with 23 corners.” Alex Albon from Williams Racing, who earlier this month suffered respiratory failure after undergoing appendicitis surgery, said:"It feels good to be back... We’re realistic and coming to the most difficult race of the year, so we have to be mindful of that."
Sainz then said: “I remembered getting a warning from Pierre and Charles — ‘You’ll struggle, you’ll see why’.” Members from Red Bull racing team having a game of table football at the F1 Pit Building on Sept 29, 2022.Defending champion Max Verstappen from Red Bull arriving at the F1 Pit Building on Sept 29, 2022.Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes racing team at the F1 Pit Building on Sept 29, 2022.British driver George Russell from Mercedes in the team garage at the F1 Pit Building on Sept 29, 2022.
