Last year’s Singapore Grand Prix was one to remember after Vettel, Verstappen, and Raikkonen all crashed out in the first lap. They will all be hoping to avoid any repeat of the incident and Vettel will especially want to close the gap behind Hamilton.
The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a favorite for a lot of fans because it is one of the more exciting tracks that can have a really big impact on the F1 season results, as Ferrari discovered last year. With Hamilton being 30 points ahead of Vettel, time is running out for Vettel to overturn the lead so he needs to beat him in Singapore.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff is confident that Mercedes will do well this weekend, having stated: “The result in Italy was a great reward for everyone in the team who has been working tirelessly to improve our performance. We knew that the race in Monza would be another big challenge for us after the defeat in Spa but we managed to prevail through a combination of individual skill and fantastic teamwork.”
