      Elias Zottos There's roughly 15% chance to rain at 8pm when quali & race is hold. If it rains its sadly gonna be most likely at night or in morning, but with some luck the track might be wet when the race starts like last year.

      If you mean the F1 hot lap video, then notice you don't know the car setup in the game, you don't know if he's familiar with PC simulator, and you don't know if one (including you) can drive well when he needs to think about what to say about the track at the same time.
      If you are judging a F1 driver by his level of sim racing, then many sim racers on RUclips should've been driving for Mercedes already.

Everyone knows that codemasters games are nothing like an actual sim and most drivers suck at it because of how different it is from real life.

    as the most successful driver ever around Singapore it should be vettels to lose but we'll see. Friday will be interesting, but it's a track where he drivers increase their speed slowly so I think only in Q1 will we really see who's looking good for pole. FP2 in Singapore i always watch since it looks spectacular.

    Thought this video would be straightforward but it turned out brilliant. I'd never heard about the Mark Weber electrical interference, an amazing coincidence of bad luck and technology when you think about it. And this is the first time I've heard drivers' characteristics categorised so well and compared to the style of track.

  • @TheJokerit19
    @TheJokerit19 6 лет назад +2

    One of the most enjoyable circuits to drive. BTW, why are they still applying the standard full race distance of approximately 305 km rather than Monaco's circuit-specific one (260 km), which is applied there precisely to minimize the risk of exceeding the two-hour limit? Wouldn't it be better to utilize this same exception to the rule for the Marina Bay Street Circuit as well, which would lead to a reduction in the total number of laps by around 14 (from 61 to 47)? Even a reduction of 8-10 laps would decrease the risk of not being able to reach the full distance within the two-hour window quite a bit.

      @@leonbetz5156 you contradict your second comment with word "probably" in your original comment. There is nothing that resembles Monaco in this dump, apart of the guardrails if that's enough for you. There is not a single corner ! Monaco is beautifully organic dream to drive. Its got everything, beautiful corners, amazing elevation and every corner is totally different. This place is a headache.
      If you want an advice, watch British SuperBikes this weekend mate. Its at Oulton Park, beautiful place and great racing series. Another races worth to follow this weekend, WSBK, Indycar, V8 Supercars or Super GT. And avoid that garbage in Singapore mate.

    • @TMJ32
      @TMJ32 6 лет назад

      That's because there's really only one line around every track. They can make the corner 50m wide but there's only a narrow path that's actually quick. So narrow or wide, overtaking is going to be very difficult. I like tight twisty tracks like Monaco and Singapore.

    • @lzh4950
