Formula 1 travels to the brightly-lit streets of Marina Bay in Singapore for its original night race. This street circuit has held the unique distinction of having more turns than any other circuit on the F1 calendar, 23, (and a 100% probability of a safety car deployment); however, local construction is resulting in 4 turns being taken away reducing that number to 19. Singapore is also known for hot and humid weather conditions that challenge both man and machine.
Singapore should be no sweat for Red Bull who are nearly flawless this season in the execution during race weekends. Look for Max Verstappen to win with Sergio Perez a candidate for a podium. On the AlphaTauri side of the garage look for one car to be in contention for 10th place and the other just out of the points.
Elsewhere on the grid, look for this to be a general ranking of team performance coming into the race weekend:
1. Red Bull
2. Mercedes
3. Aston Martin
4. McLaren
5. Ferrari
6. Alpine
7. Williams
8. Alfa Romeo
9. AlphaTauri
10. Haas
