F1 Digest - Singapore Free Practice

Sidepodcast F1 Digest logo

Our first look at the Singapore circuit was a wonder to behold, as the drivers struggled to make it round in once piece, whether due to their own issues, or the bumpy circuit.

Free Practice 1

The lovely lights of Singapore are merely a backdrop for all the on track action as first Webber and then Barrichello mess up their first go at attacking the newest street circuit.

Free Practice 2

Whilst Barrichello and Webber take to the track, Glock and Fisichella mess it up, and Hamilton and Alonso continue to fight it out for the top spot.

Conclusions

There’s a general feeling of content with the lighting system, if you ignore a few dark spots, but the consensus is that the track is just too bumpy, with Rosberg saying it could give a man a headache.

    erm, can I just ask: since when was monza in Singapore and when did it rain?

    I think you’ve made a massive cock-up there, Christine. You’ve uploaded the F1 Digest free practice show from Monza instead of Singapore. :P

    Good day everyone, sadly however, not to me when my Football Manager game froze this morning :(

    Still it is a beautiful day and I’ve got no match this weekend, so I’m afraid I could be annoying you for all the remaining sessions ;)

    Looking forward to qualifying, which is at 1 I assume?
