Formula 1 is back at Marina Bay for the Singapore GP. The first-ever night race in Formula 1 has given us a lot of memorable moments. From dark moments like Crashgate in 2008 to pure Sebastian Vettel domination in 2013. From absolute mayhem in 2017 to some Lewis Hamilton magic in 2018. The Singapore GP has seen it all. As Max Verstappen aims to win here for the first time, can Lewis Hamilton pull off something magical?
Things to look out for
The Singapore GP is one of the most grueling races on the calendar. Drivers can lose more than 3 kilos in body weight during a race. Even with a new track layout, the race will be tough.
Formula 1 has introduced a further clampdown on the flexible body parts of the cars. This will impact some teams more than others and might change the pecking order a bit.
Forecasts predict the entire Singapore GP weekend to be wet. This will add further chaos to what is already a very tricky Grand Prix.

Drivers to Watch Out For
Max Verstappen will look to win the Singapore GP for the first time. Mercedes is predicted to be quite strong here. Therefore, Lewis Hamilton will look to weave some magic on Saturday. Holding Max Verstappen back on Sunday will be a little easier on this tight track as he tries to match Sebastian Vettel’s win record. Meanwhile, McLaren and Aston Martin are also looking strong around here.
