Viewed from a tactical point of view, this year’s race was for GP of Singapore a rather tense affair. But excessive actions we didn’t see it in almost two hours - especially in the first third of the race. The reason for this was leading Charles Leclerc, which is from the first round onwards slowed down the whole column behind him. This affected not only the top but all the racers. “We were so slow ... we were up to four seconds slower than normal speed per lap,”Is for colleagues from television Sky said Lando Norriswhich adds: "In a particular case, it was very relaxed. But it also got on my nerves because I knew all the racers could stay close behind me. We wanted to create a hole, but unfortunately it didn’t work out."
Otherwise it is Norris finished the race in seventh place and was thus "The best of the Rest“But he was not happy nonetheless. “It was hard. But the first 30 laps were far below the limit. We really just cruised in a circle. I could tell we had a 20-lap race before.”Because the second half of the race was interrupted by three-phase safety car. From together 61 laps, the racers drove only a few laps at the limit. When asked if this is bad for Formula 1, is Lando replied: "Yes, definitely. It was kind of nice because I wasn’t so tired. But this is no racing. We sat in our race cars and did nothing interesting. This is very boring and uninteresting for viewers. However, this only happened because the tires are so bad."
His compatriot Lewis Hamilton however, he also attributed responsibility for this boredom track plan. According to him, the possibility of overtaking in Singapore almost worse than v Monaco. "Maybe we should change the last turn,”So the current champion, who explains that with the current floor plan of the track in the last turn, you can't follow the competitor. As an alternative, however, he suggests that in the said last turn did the so-called hairpin.
