Singapore will be the center of the racing world this weekend as it’s hosting the annual Singapore Grand Prix. This night race is one of the most demanding races in the entire F1 season. Tensions are running high with the pilots preparing for the race. Meanwhile, the challenging race is becoming even more unpredictable with the unexpected haze that is causing low visibility on the tracks this year.
During the practice at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Lewis Hamilton showed his superior skills once again after the Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc won the previous two races. Hamilton lead the race setting the pace, Verstappen followed with 0.184 seconds and the third best time was scored by Sebastian Vetter. The second Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas set the fourth best time with 1.121 seconds behind Hamilton, Alexander Albon from Red Bull came fifth and the winner of the previous GP Leclerc finished in the 6th position.
If things stay this way on race day, the main struggle will be between the young Verstappen and current champion Hamilton.
Shortly before this race, the famous driver Robert Kubica announced that this would be his last season with team Williams. He joined the team this year after an eight-year-long following a crash in 2011.
