GP Singapore - Marina Bay street circuit – 5° edition
the first and only night-time event in Formula One history, therefore qualifying and race will be racing during night under artificial lighting. Of course in Europe we will see the event in the afternoon. This is a stop-start track and one of the slowest of the season, with many 90-degree curves and several high kerbs. It is a twisty and bumpy street circuit which runs close to the barriers with practically no run-off areas. So this track does not forgive any mistakes. The grip levels are initially low, improving throughout the weekend. The intense heat even at night, with a high level of humidity and the length of the race make this race very demanding for the pilots. Singapore GP is one of the few circuit of the season, that runs in an anti-clockwise direction, and is a quite difficult place to attempt an overtaking maneuver. The atmosphere of a night race is amazing, but in my opinion there are too many unnecessary chicane and too many 90° bends. At the Singapore Grand Prix the cars start with the higher fuel load of the year. Set up: high downforce package to give the car good stability under braking and to maximise traction out of the corners. Another key factor could be the safety car. Tyre compounds Soft yellow(prime) and supersoft red(option) as at Monaco and Montreal. DRS: only one zone, the same as 2011. Podium 2011: Vettel – Button – Webber. fastest lap on race: Button – pole position : Vettel 1'44''381 Podium 2010: Alonso – Vettel – Webber. fastest lap on race: Alonso – pole position : Alonso 1'45''390 Podium 2009: Hamilton – Glock – Alonso. fastest lap on race: Alonso – pole position : Hamilton 1'47''891 Podium 2008: Alonso – Rosberg – Hamilton. fastest lap on race: Raikkonen – pole position : Massa 1'44''801 The statistic of this season after 13 races 2012 wins: Alonso and Hamilton (3)Webber and Button (2), Rosberg, Vettel, Maldonado (1) 2012 second place: Raikkonen(3); Alonso, Vettel, Perez and Button(2), Rosberg, and Grosjean(1) 2012 third place: Raikkonen and Hamilton(3) Alonso and Grosjean (2), Vettel, Schumacher, Perez (1) 2012 pole: Hamilton(4) Vettel (3); Alonso (2), Rosberg, Maldonado, Webber and Button (1) 2012 fastest lap: Vettel(3); Raikkonen and Rosberg (2), Button, Kobayashi, Grosjean, Perez, Schumacher and Senna (1) |

Happy birthday to Stirling Moss - 17/09/1929 an extraordinary boy of 83 years,
Sir Stirling Moss is a legendary British racing driver. On track was a warrior and in every race, his attitude was “first or nothing" but in this way he became "the greatest driver never to win the World Championship". He placed second in the Drivers' Championship four times from 1955 to 1958; and third, 3 times from 1959 to 1961. Moss is one of the three strongest English pilots of all time, with Nigel Mansell and Graham Hill (Lewis Hamilton is still too young and Jim Clark and Stewart are Scottish). Statistic: Championship starts 66 – Wins 16 – Podium 24 – Pole position 16 – Fastest lap 19. |

NewsFlash :
 Former F1 medical delegate Sid Watkins dies aged 84 (wednesday 12th september 2012 ) : Sid Watkins, Formula 1's former FIA Medical Delegate, who was key in making the sport as safe as it is today, has died. He was 84. Widely known throughout motor racing as 'the Prof', Watkins served for more than two decades as head of F1's on-track medical team - improving safety standards and saving the lives of many drivers.Born and educated in Liverpool, Watkins had worked as a doctor at Brands Hatch and Watkins Glen before being offered the medical delegate role for F1 after meeting Bernie Ecclestone in 1978. He campaigned hard to improve safety standards and medical facilities at tracks through a spell where the sport lost many high-profile drivers - including Ronnie Peterson and Gilles Villeneuve. His efforts to ensure that medical centres were up to scratch, medical cars were used correctly and a medical helicopter was mandatory helped improve the sport dramatically. That work helped save the lives of a number of drivers through Watkins' 26-year spell in F1, including Didier Pironi, Nelson Piquet, Gerhard Berger, Rubens Barrichello, Mika Hakkinen, Martin Donnelly, and Karl Wendlinger. But his saddest weekend came at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, where Watkins witnessed first-hand as both Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna - a personal friend - were killed. After that Imola weekend, Watkins was involved in the setting up of the FIA Expert Advisory Safety Committee, which eventually became the FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety. Watkins retired from his medical role in F1 in 2005, but continued to push for ever improved standards through his role as the first president of the FIA Institute, before stepping down from that position in 2011 but retaining an honorary role. He most recently returned to the spotlight in the film 'Senna' where he recounted the Imola 1994 weekend and how he tried to persuade the Brazilian racing driver to retire from the sport after Ratzenberger's crash so the pair of them could 'go fishing'. Watkins famously wrote in his autobiography about what he told Senna: "What else do you need to do? You have been world champion three times, you are obviously the quickest driver. Give it up and let's go fishing."
