Ferrari confirms “a few new parts in Singapore as part of our effort to close the gap to the competition”. Mattia Binotto previews the next round.

The world championship bids farewell to Europe and heads for Asia and Sunday’s 12th running of the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 15th of 21 rounds this year. The race, famous for being run at night, has always been held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The race gets underway at 20.10 local time (14.10 CET) with the track bathed in light from powerful lighting projectors. Scuderia Ferrari has won here twice, with a further four podium finishes and four pole positions to its name.

Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto previews the next round of the 2019 Formula One season:
“Coming from back to back victories is a good feeling for the team and for our tifosi, but in reality these victories are already behind us and we are well aware that Singapore will present new challenges and a layout in which our car is not as strong as at other circuits. We are bringing a few new parts there as part of our effort to close the gap to the competition, at a track that features predominantly slow speed corners. This race also sees the return of the Hypersoft tyre compound, which has not been used since the Canadian GP. All of this, together with the traditionally eventful close racing in between the barriers, on the city streets – conditions that both Sebastian and Charles love very much – will certainly make for a tough but exciting race weekend.” – Mattia Binotto explained, as reported by the Maranello team’s official website.
