Scuderia Ferrari finally have F1 2019 momentum following the Maranello team’s back-to-back victories in Spa and Monza. However, as Formula 1 cars return under the Singapore lights for one of the most spectacular sights of the season, Ferrari will now face a much more difficult task in successfully challenging Mercedes and Red Bull around the Marina Bay streets.
The race distance is 61 laps, equivalent to around 309 kilometres and the race often comes close to the maximum two hour time limit, also down to the fact the Safety Car is nearly always called out as there are hardly any escape roads on this fantastic street circuit.
Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel previews the next round of the 2019 Formula One season:
“After Spa-Francorchamps and Monza, we are going to a very different circuit: Singapore, which is one I really enjoy. It´s a street circuit, bumpy and with no room for errors and it’s one of the few races run under lights. We stay on European time, which is a bit strange because we leave the circuit when the locals are getting up with a six hour-time difference. We need maximum downforce and have the three softest tyre compounds. We have seen before that anything can happen in this race, so the final result is hard to predict. Off the track, there will also be a lot of pressure on the teams as this race is back to back with Russia.” – Sebastian Vettel explained, as reported by the Maranello team’s official website earlier today.
