Chuva! Nah, there will be none. Always looking forward to Singapore GP. One of the good additions to the calendar and it would be missed if dropped out. Still, strangely enough, I don't remember that much of previous races there. Not that many highlight moments. Also the race is very long and if it's a dull race, then it feels veeery long. Fortunately this year every GP has been tolerable and I expect this one be interesting and even chaotic due to banned radio messaging . |

My favourite track, I love this one, it has the old school feeling. Like Long Beach. And at night, and even though is a street track, it's so beautiful. The race I look forward the most of the calendar. |

Same here, I think its an interesting (If unspectacular) circuit layout which offers a decent level of challenge for the drivers & has produced some decent racing over the years.I've also never really been bothered by it getting close to the 2hr limit each year, It's a physical challenge for the drivers & something different to most other races. Should be interesting with the new cars/power units as it was a circuit which was a challenge with the higher downforce levels & lower torque levels of the V8s. Will be a bit of an extra challenge & point of interest with the new radio restrictions this weekend (Although some aspects of that won't be enforced until Suzuka I believe). Wouldn't mind at least 1 wet session just to see how/if that will work with the lights. Started out damp in 2012 for FP1 but there wasn't a lot of water & they were quickly onto slicks. |

I love when races reach the 2h limit, but not too much so Singapore always fills the gap when a season doesn't have any of it |

At least a wet session I hope. Curious about the rain spray under the lights. |

Hmm i have a feeling it will be very hard to overtake here.. If youre not 0.5 behind the car after turn 4, not even DRS wont help you get past. And on the pit straight its too short to have an effect |

This is one of the races I look forward to watching each year. Under lights, the track looks fantastic. I can recall a few incidents here from past races: * Schumacher running into the back of Senna * Webbers brakes failing at turn 1 * Heidfeld getting caught out at turn 5 (Turn 5 I believe) by a spinning/recovering driver * Raikkonen clouting the walling * Piquet crashing into the wall to bring out a safety car * Massa passing Senna & almost loosing it.... * Rosberg crossing the white pit line, getting a penalty, but driving back through the field to get 3rd in the Williams Great racing here though |

Wow, it seems like yesterday when Singapore first came into the calendar... some interesting memories through all those years... like JJ said above, one of the good additions to the calendar in the last times. I hope for a good race, maybe some more spice to the Hamilton/Rosberg fight, that would be great! I'll be honest, I kinda lost interest in F1 with time, this season has been the one I have dedicated the less time to... I hope the last part of the season can bring us more action and good races. I'm looking forward to see how the balance of power will be at this track... I think that might be a good chance for Red Bull and especially Ricciardo, to surprise once again the Mercedes, taking advantage on their home fight, still it's much more likely another Mercedes win. Alonso is a man who can also surprise at this track, as it demands a lot from the drivers talent... Williams might have some problems at this track, so there's a chance to watch some different stuff this weekend. |

I'm just realizing that Bottas is one point ahead of Alonso in the standings. Tast. |

train-race would be nice with a slow car heading a bunch of nervous cars moving all over the place. |

I was just watching press conference and it ended after one question from the floor (12 minutes in total). Weird. |

Spectacular track,and it also produced great races, not great racing but great races with a lot of crashes,collisions and championship decisions. Most remebered moments, my favourites,Massa passing Senna on the bridge into the hairiping sideways,amazing. Also 2008 race with Massas moment,Kimi's crash. And all the collisions and Safety cars mixing it up every year a bit. Looking forward to another good race,but for the rain,nah just forget it. |
