Is the Singapore Grand Prix harder than before?
The Singapore Grand Prix is known for its difficulty due to its extreme conditions. With high humidity, a night race, and intense heat, the drivers face a challenging Grand Prix. This could be even more demanding with the cars this year.
Formula 1 is returning to Singapore this year after three years of absence. The circuit could see drivers face additional challenges this year. The cars are affected differently by the bumps and rebounds compared to previous years.
Earlier in the season, debates on dolphin hunting and car bouncing fueled our weeks.
The track won’t make it easy. With bumps, speed bumps, and chicanes in the turns, the cars will be put to the test.
While the drivers already considered the Grand Prix to be difficult and physically demanding, it could be even more so this weekend.
Before his appendicitis operation, Alexander Albon was very curious about how the Grand Prix would unfold with the current cars. All of this while comparing it to the Monaco Grand Prix, which is less difficult, but proved challenging for the drivers this year.
« I am interested because these cars have been so bumpy. Remember Monaco, how bad it was? Singapore is bumpier than Monaco. »
« It’s going to be physical, but the track itself is pretty nice. I found it strange, but to be fast, you really have to push quite hard.

Same observation from Lando Norris who considers the track as one of the best, but also one of the most challenging in the championship.
Singapore is one of my favorites of the season. It’s an extremely challenging track. It will be even more difficult in these cars, which are terrible over bumps and with the twists and turns, the bouncing, all these things.
In a certain way, it won’t be pleasant to drive. But at the same time, it is one of the most challenging circuits to navigate, there are 24 turns or something like that, so doing a lap here is extremely difficult.
The Grand Prix promises to be interesting and full of emotions.
