The appeal of the Singapore Grand Prix extends far beyond the novelty factor of it taking place at night, as this is one of the most demanding grands prix of the year for the teams and drivers, and never more than this season when the cars are expected to circulate at lap-record pace. The drivers will expect to lose up to three kilos of sweat during the race.
2018 Singapore Grand Prix weather forecast (Weather Info Marina Bay):
From the Formula 1 teams’ point of view, different weather conditions can result in very different races, and Formula 1 teams adapt their strategy accordingly, for example using different tyres in wet conditions, and taking account of cross winds which can cause stability problems at high speeds. It is always well worth checking the weather before any grand prix as it can often throw a curve ball into the mix, especially given the fact that Singapore could prove to be another unpredictable weekend. Conditions appear uncertain ahead of the 2018 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend. The temperature for race day is expected to be around just 27-29 degrees Celsius and there is a strong chance of rain on each day, which means that both the qualifying session and the race could take place in wet conditions. For the moment not positive prospects for Scuderia Ferrari, as the Maranello team will hope for a race in dry conditions, in order to avoid the unfortunate outcome at the Hungaroring, when Sebastian and Kimi lost the chance to fight for victory due to a qualifying session which took place in wet conditions.
