Marina Bay Raceway in 2023 with a different configuration

Singapore's Marina Bay Circuit will apparently undergo significant changes ahead of the 1 F2023 race. Singapore has been part of the F1 racing calendar since 2008, due to the demanding layout of the track, the races held under the lights are very popular with spectators, and slightly less enthusiastic with the drivers, as it is one of the most physically and mentally demanding races of the season , which takes almost two hours with its 61 laps. The new track layout will be faster, with four fewer corners. Since it is a street track, overtaking on it is quite difficult, but the organizers obviously want to change this aspect before the next race. Although the changes have not yet been officially confirmed, the new track layout can be seen on the race's official website when purchasing tickets. This one is more open, because at the place of bends 16, 17, 18 and 19, with

F1, Singapore Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton in 1st practice ahead of Verstappen

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton was the fastest driver in the first F1 free practice session in Singapore, where he lapped the softest tires 0.084 seconds faster than reigning world champion Max Verstappen, who was second. The Dutchman was the fastest during most of the training session, while the third time was set by Charles Leclerc, who, in case of Verstappen's victory, must finish the race in the top nine if he wants to maintain at least minimal chances for this year's world champion title. But the Ferrari driver started the race weekend with technical problems - he was troubled by problems with the brakes. Practice was stopped 20 minutes before the end due to Lanca Stroll sending his Aston Martin into the track wall at turn 5. https://twitter.com/F1/status/1575814464657506304

Brake problems are not a problem for Mercedes

formula 1

Sunday's victory was barely won by Mercedes, as in the end the pressure from Daniel Ricciard and Red Bull was very great. And if the race lasted another lap, it probably wouldn't be hard for Ricciard to overtake Nic Rosberg. The Mercedes team admitted that both racers, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, struggled with the brakes and had to keep them very under control at all times. In the end, Rosberg proved that he is clearly more adept at this than Hamilton. "We've been on the edge with the brakes since the start of the race," admitted team leader Toto Wolff. Perhaps this was also the reason why Kimi Räikkönen even managed to overtake Hamilton in the 34th lap, but the Englishman then managed to regain his advantage in the pits. Räikkönen was angry after the match for the extra stop, but he admitted

Nico Rosberg celebrated a new victory in Singapore, although Daniel Ricciardo chased behind the wheel of a Mercedes at a terrible pace after the German's last stops. in the end he drove to the finish line less than half a second behind him. Third was Lewis Hamilton, who overtook Kimi Raikkonen after the last stops after another strategic mistake by the Ferrari team. After a minor mistake, the Finn skilfully overtook the Mercedes racer on the track and drove one of the best races of the last season, but after Hamilton's late stop, he could no longer catch or prepare an attack until the end of the race. Sebastian Vettel was fifth after a great breakthrough from the last place, gaining as many as 17 places, most of it with a fight on the track.

Rosberg resigned, Hamilton won

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton took the lead in the overall standings of this year’s World Cup by winning the Singapore Grand Prix after his team rival Nico Rosberg resigned due to technical difficulties. Sebastian Vettel finished the race in second place, and Daniel Ricciardo was once again looking forward to third place on the winners' podium. Rosberg was leading with 22 points before the start of the race in the championship, but even before the start, the race and the championship broke badly. He had to start the race from the pits, as a technical malfunction in the car's electronics prevented the German from starting from his second starting position at all and starting the warm-up lap. This allowed Hamilton to easily escape into the first turn, and Vettel managed to overtake Ricciard and drive into second place after having to leave it to Fe.

Raikkonen will compete in the race despite the pain

formula 1

Kimi Raikkonen will compete in the race for the Singapore Grand Prix, despite the pain caused by a pinched nerve in his back. The Lotus racer will start the race from thirteenth place, as he had difficulty in qualifying due to pain and was eliminated in the second part. The Enston team had already considered before the qualifiers that Finca, whose problems were the result of a crash in tests in France in 2001, would be replaced by reserve racer Davide Valsecchi. “Already in the morning the pain was unbearable,” Raikkonen said of his performance at the third free practice. "I couldn't drive at full speed at all, so we didn't even make all the preparations we wanted. Luckily, at least we'll be able to compete in the race. I'll be at the start of the race tomorrow, and then we'll see how it goes." Romain Grosjean thus led the attack
