An F1 drivers worst nightmare isn’t Singapore. It’s having strategies like Ferrari.

Narrow street circuit, tight corners, darkness outside, hot climate, and much more Really impressive how drivers drive this circuit at such speed :D

Can't forget about the bridge that destroys the cars technical system

As a person living in South east asia. I find the heat is not the biggest problem but the humidity. Combine both of them, your body will sweat like crazy

Being a local here, let me explain how hot and humid it can be. Early morning, you take a nice cold shower, get dress and head out to the closest bus stop which is probably about 300m away. The moment you reach said bus stop, you instantly wish you could take a shower again cause you'll be drenched in perspiration. And this time of the year isn't even the hottest. All the best fellow travelling fans and team crew (apart from that its a brilliant place all things considered).

It's also worth mentioning that Alex Albon is planning to race here despite a bout of appendicitis which resulted in respiratory problems. Only three weeks ago did he go through all that. I hope he has a good race. You have to give him his flowers no matter the result.

as a fan of both f1 and wtf1, and living in singapore, i really wanted to attend the race....until i saw the price! hahaha but cant wait for it and to watch at home!!!

Local here. I always say home is where the heavy air smacks you in the face as you land in the airport. The humidity is not fun and I feel for people who are not acclimated to this. It can be quite unbearable . It’s a place with lots of beautiful sights and good food and I’m so pumped to be attending the sg gp today. Got my 3-day pass for a less than SGD$200!!! What a steal.

When Lewis cars bounces with the same frequency there is a chance the vibrations may cancel out each other.

This week-end, it is going to rain a lot at Singapour GP. As a french ferrari fan, I have black and white memories of the past GP's there. I think now that, such as Matt, I'm seriously going to have a bad week-end. Good luck for your mental sanity, everyone.

Massive respect to Seb for winning 5 times the Singapore GP (record)

It's said that teams got instructed that wider limits of porpoising will be allowed. All peaks above 7G will not be taken in account to calculate the average value(limit) for porpoising. Will this really help drivers health? Or will teams just change setup to induce more, high force, peaks by changing hard suspension stops?

I will tell you, when I moved to Singapore from a cold region, it hits really hard. Now living here for 5 years it’s just so normal to get thirst every 5 seconds

I am so looking forward to this race weekend. I love this Grand Prix so much. If there's any race I'd want to attend live it would be this one.

More facts. In Singapore is a 100% safety car guarantee. Four times the race ended before 61 laps were completed, because they reached the 2 hour time limit. Kevin Magnussen hold the fastet lap record.

4:15 That sauna description killed me 😂 that’s tropical weather for you westerners💀💀

The humidity is the worst part, you get used to it but I went to Moscow and Berlin for a while a few years ago and immediately felt so much fitter because I could move around so much more without feeling tired as hell.

We want ‘what if a team can’t get a driver’ (I think you know who I’m talking about)

As a South East Asian person the weather we have made me look like I've been through a rain shower every time I got out of my house. The humidity is no joke

The toughest but one of my favourites circuit

When I lived in Singapore I sometimes went for a game of football at nighttime. Considering the fact that I'd be sweaty sitting at a terrace with a beer in a T-shirt and Shorts, the workout was quite brutal. Then I'd take a "cold" shower, but the moment I had dried my body it was wet again with sweat, until I'd be home and had turned on the airconditioning. It must be tough as hell to race there. Was a fun event to visit though!

i was in singapore in 2011 and had no idea what f1 was we left the friday of 2011 gp weekend and i remember the cab driver telling us about the circuit while we were driving on it! That’s where my love for f1 came from

I can still remember the excitement of watching the Singapore GP in HD when it first arrived, the cars looked so amazing in the floodlights and the whole backdrop was breathtaking.

I've always wondered how other people think bout the weather here. As a local, you get used to the heat. I'd kill for sub 30 degree temps

I like Singapore for its cyberpunk-y aesthetics, especially in heavy rain at night. Unfortunately FIA no longer allows racing in the rain

I'm in Singapore right now I came from Sydney Australia and Singapore is unbelievably hot.

First time watching Singapore this week thanks

I'm asian and we're used to drink hot coffee in 40°C and up... well good luck to the drivers, its such a thrill to see them race in extreme conditions.

Years ago Alonso's drinking system got broken and after the race he was 7kg down in weight and was not able to come out of the car on it's own.

Living in Singapore, I can assure you that it’s cooler at night

Not to mention the erratic weather! one minute it's hot then another it's pouring like hell

I like night races. I wish F1 would do more of those, though I'm really looking forward to Las Vegas next season and how the super late local start is going to work out.

With almost half the field DNF, this aged particularly well 😅

Russell setting the ac at 28C and his team feeling uncomfortable when they walk in. Me a south asian setting my ac at 29C for a comfortable sleep, cause its 36-37 outside. 🙄 WELCOME TO ASIA 😂

Singapore is gonna be interesting with the new cars

As a Singaporean, if you asked us to make a list of things we hate about Singapore, I can guarantee that the weather will be top 3 on most peoples' lists. Kudos to the drivers for being able to withstand racing in such punishing conditions.

Malaysians and Singaporeans be like: It aint that hot.. its actually cold 🤣

Great vid 👍

This is the first Singapore Grand Prix I get to watch since this is the first time it’s been on the calendar since I started watching the sport

The summary of sg f1 :The combo of getting wet sweaty and warm air blown into your body while going across 23 bends and bumps per lap with no room for error . Every f1 drivers worst nightmare

Was impartial until playing F1 games and struggling with it, but as I've reeled the proper setup in closer and closer each time it get less difficult, but again that's a game I can play in comfort at home.

Super entertaining presentation as usual! 😅😅👌👌

im going for qualifying tomorrow, hope i have fun! also yes, the weather here in singapore (30C) is pretty hot, however compared to the middle of the day (could reach 35-38C), that's nothing lol

the reason is so tough because of the body temperature in singapore it so humid same goes in malaysia

I wished they kept the original Singapore Sling in the race. Made the race even tougher and enjoyable to watch, imo.

im from singapore and even the roads is bumpy and also its hard to race on it at night, idk why singapore did it at night.. the fans camera flash drivers gets distracted

One of my favorite tracks to race in F1 games

With that temperatures and humidity like that, it sounds like Cyprus. *dreaming hopelessly*

I felt that shade @ 1:25 Matt, you not slick😂

I had an opportunity to be a Cashier/Customer Support service crew at the race, but nah, I would rather be at home watching it on tv

as a malaysian its not hard to imagine. You would sweat every moment, even at night if you are not under a fan. we are used to this so a 27 degree celsius would be called a good day(raining day usually is what caused such low temperature)

at least Matt didn't say Singapore should be cancelled

The heat isn't surprising given Singapore's latitude. Only 1° off the equator. Makes for a boiling tropical mess of a climate. It'll be interesting to see how it goes this year

I used to live in Singapore and I went back for a holiday earlier this year for two weeks having been living in melbourne for the past 6 years where its normally cold except in the summer heatwave, and you cant really even walk outside without sweating let alone do anything

I can’t help but remember how absolutely exhausted Max was after Miami this year. I don’t remember seeing any F1 driver like that before, including in any of the previous Singapore GPs.

28 degrees is a breeze for me

The quantity of content on this page has increased significantly. Good job guys.

I love the night race aspect and the LED lighting around the track is awesome. However the narrow track areas and vertical sidings look pretty horrible.

you forgot to say something. it'll RAIN 🌧️🌧️ this weekend there

My first F1 race I went to was Singapore in 2010, I had a man crush on Webber, and he finished third after a poor start. In Australia will are told to set the air conditioning to 24c at 19c I would be looking for a jumper.

I always imagine this street race in cooler, dryer conditions because I believe it would be such an enjoyable technical race and the best of each driver would come out without having to worry about weather conditions.

F1 driver at Singapore GP: highly focused, try not to make any mistake. Matt at Singapore GP: Into the pits, we must go,El-El-EI-O

2:19 I wasn't aware there was another 8 PM during the day 😄

I live in Singapore and the humidity and heat really makes you sweat profusely

i live here, and 80% humidity is just the yearlong average. on a _really_ humid day, measurements can go over 100% as the meters get a bit funky.

I’m singaporean and I love this video

The thing I remember most about the singapore gp is I can’t remember anything about anouther singapore gp unless that,s the one vettel ramed bumped hamilton once and that made a fuss

Nyck the Vries is probably praying that Alex Albon can race! In Monza he was completely knackered and that circuit is on the other end of the physical difficulty scale. He likely has worked out a lot the past weeks, but will he be up to the challenge of Singapore?

In the afternoon in Singapore, the temperature is 41°C (highest for Thursday)

Whatever about the 'why', the fact that it's a test of stamina and concentration gives it character

Also, the track is counter clockwise (very few are), so it's not the best for their necks either. _Pierre said that in press conference_

Several times a week I get up at 5.30 to go cycling. I walk out of my lift, and through the lobby door, and get hit with 30 degree / 80% humidity, pretty much every day. I then wonder why the hell I’m doing this - any other country and I’d stay indoors.

let me tell you the heat and humidity in Singapore alone is the biggest nightmare

hahahahahah the joke about the merc car this year giving him vibrating practice is too good

My favorite street track apart from Baku 😩😩😩

Absolutely love this track

Marina Bay is my favorite Street Circuit

Sepang and Singapore GP in the future pls!

I'd say, get rid of corners 16 thru 19 and you have one of the, if not THE best street circuits out there.

This is why I love Singapore.

Oh Singapore and Malaysia, the race where drivers lose like 3 kilos. Unbelievable how these drivers can still drive that well

Most entertaining city circuit on the calendar though!

Shift workers have known for years to tape alfoil to the windows. It reflects the light and heat all in one go 🥰

Seems like it’s gonna be a wet weekend. Just maybe the first wet race? Had a good walk on some parts of the circuit, Highly eager for Prac 1 😊

Street circuits leave very little margin for error cos of the barriers and the less than perfectly paved roads. Also, Singapore is crazy hot around the time of the GP each year.

The tires burns quickly as well because the heat bumps into the walls of the track and it circulates around.

Can't wait for Batam F1 circuit to be added to the calendar. It's located just few kilometers away from Singapore. It's gonna be a literal torture for the teams and drivers if Singapore and Batam are arranged 2 weeks in a row

So impressive to see how F1 drivers handle these craziness of Marina Bay like that.

Can’t forget the ridiculous rain that always seems to come when we don’t want it 👍 I watched it in person and damn, the rain really came down and it was waterfalling through the seats

People who lives at dry place on humid place: It's friggin' humid & hot!!! People who lives at humid place on dry place: It's friggin' dry & cold!!!

I live in Singapore neighbors country with similar weather, and yes in the night the temperature can reach 30°c, make you sweat just doing nothing 🙃🙃

Everytime I race at Singapore in F1 games I tend to crash out a lot of times if not I'm in snails pace

Third shift has taught me that blackout curtains aren't enough. For best results, add a sleep mask and a white noise machine. Or one of those 8-10 hour noise clips here on KZfaq.

Singaporean here. I can confirm. Just like my daily commute to work. :)

On top of that the subway runs below the track, and supposedly that causes all sorts of electronic issues for the cars.

Let me save you 5 minutes with the answer: most turns on the calendar, usually goes over 2 hours, and the most humid/hot race. There. Done.

Hi! Please a video on Red Bull violating the budget cap! 🎉

while playing f1 2021 a while ago in Singapore the only button i pressed was "restart session"

its raining in singapore rn gonna be even more exciting

Mat you look a lot happier here in Miami. See you next year
