An F1 drivers worst nightmare isn’t Singapore. It’s having strategies like Ferrari.
I just got shivers reading this
How dare you be so truthful, good sir?
Well Charles and Carlos have got both so here we go boys
Ah funny, the same joke for the 1001625th time. Be original mate ..
Ferrari ruined seb😥
Poor seb
Narrow street circuit, tight corners, darkness outside, hot climate, and much more
Really impressive how drivers drive this circuit at such speed :D
Now imagine Sepang during the day...When the sun is out.
@@TsLeng Sepang is a flowing circuit and the race is shorter. Can downpour for sure.
@@soundscape26 but Sepang are No1 most hot and humid which the most hardest in term of weather ...But unfortunately , we as Malaysian not really attracted to F1 compared to MotoGP
@@mrboast2826 It's a shame because the Sepang circuit is great.
@@soundscape26 I mean it's great circuit but paying to held the event using tax payer money is big No-No for me...We already subsidized the event almost 7-8 years as the profit when down compare to MotoGP... Especially when Liberty media come takeover the F1 , we can't challenge the Arabs who gonna pay 60-100million regardless the profit to sportwashing their country
As a person living in South east asia. I find the heat is not the biggest problem but the humidity. Combine both of them, your body will sweat like crazy
as a South Asian I agree. the humidity is always worse than the heat.
I can vouch for it
As a south asian as well i find 29C with less humidity is chill comfortable weather.
No legit. I live in Singapore, many a times our AC (if we turn it on) is set to abt 28* so it’s not rlly much cooler. But the humidity goin from 80,90,100% to a low percentage is the world of a difference
@@juicywawa I never turn it lower than 27. cause for me anything below that, got to take a blanket. And if my cat sees my hand or toe moving under the blanket in my sleep he will go full hunting mode at 3-4 am. xD
Can't forget about the bridge that destroys the cars technical system
it's somewhat glitching
What do you mean?
@@Aim____Higher any time the cars would drive over it, there is something with the bridge that destroys the car so they have to bring special parts
@@Aim____Higher the bridge for some reason causes the car electronics to bug out so the teams bring special stiff to deal with it, i think theres a vid here thats called "Something street circuits" that explains it
It’s not a problem anymore… but yea good point 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Being a local here, let me explain how hot and humid it can be. Early morning, you take a nice cold shower, get dress and head out to the closest bus stop which is probably about 300m away. The moment you reach said bus stop, you instantly wish you could take a shower again cause you'll be drenched in perspiration. And this time of the year isn't even the hottest. All the best fellow travelling fans and team crew (apart from that its a brilliant place all things considered).
imagine if they raced during our monsoon season
No shit
@@radiator3675 might as well be, since it seems it'll rain pretty heavily on the day.
honestly, i think it'd be less torturous to race in the rain... even tho the track will be hell to handle. but at least they wouldn't be losing THREE KG in sweat holy shit!
bus stop? i consider myself lucky if i can get to my lift without sweating.
It's also worth mentioning that Alex Albon is planning to race here despite a bout of appendicitis which resulted in respiratory problems. Only three weeks ago did he go through all that. I hope he has a good race. You have to give him his flowers no matter the result.
Well considering he had surgery to remove his appendix, then had respitory failure that ended up having put him on a ventilator, he's doing quite well. He doesn't know how it will turn out though, he's only taking it one session at a time starting with FP1 as he should.
I was still in quite alot of discomfort 2 and 3 weeks after my appendectomy so I think he's doing quite great.
He is a Thai national neighbour to Singapore. 😂😂😂
I mean he's the F1 SEA driver of course hes gonna race for his home region's race.
@@abdulmaliksarip77 yep. Like Dennis Lian?
@@aurorasstorm5877 well thats interesting.
as a fan of both f1 and wtf1, and living in singapore, i really wanted to attend the race....until i saw the price! hahaha but cant wait for it and to watch at home!!!
At least you have the fastest internet in the world so there will be no buffering, unlike when i watch races at home with 20 mbps internet
Local here. I always say home is where the heavy air smacks you in the face as you land in the airport. The humidity is not fun and I feel for people who are not acclimated to this. It can be quite unbearable . It’s a place with lots of beautiful sights and good food and I’m so pumped to be attending the sg gp today. Got my 3-day pass for a less than SGD$200!!! What a steal.
Getting off a plane in the tropics really is like a wet slap in the face
Wow I hate you 😂 early bird promo?... Enjoy the sights and sounds on and off track
Massive respect to Seb for winning 5 times the Singapore GP (record)
He’s a pro in the corners
Lion of Singapore !!
Because he's the coolest guy on the grid.
@@pijesz Vettel is the red lion of Singapore.
@@angiietineocardenas Vettel still the king of Singapore.
When Lewis cars bounces with the same frequency there is a chance the vibrations may cancel out each other.
not exactly. natural thing is for them to add up rather than cancel out.
@@LednacekZ pretty sure it’s a joke
Porpoise suspension is mercedes masterplan
@@LednacekZ you’re both right and wrong at the same time. It naturally adds up. But that doesn’t mean that it is naturally constructive interference. It’s is just as likely to be destructive interference
If that occurs resonance happens not stationary waves. The car would almost lift off in that case
More facts.
In Singapore is a 100% safety car guarantee.
Four times the race ended before 61 laps were completed, because they reached the 2 hour time limit.
Kevin Magnussen hold the fastet lap record.
I will tell you, when I moved to Singapore from a cold region, it hits really hard. Now living here for 5 years it’s just so normal to get thirst every 5 seconds
Nice man. Enjoy the food for me haha
This week-end, it is going to rain a lot at Singapour GP. As a french ferrari fan, I have black and white memories of the past GP's there. I think now that, such as Matt, I'm seriously going to have a bad week-end. Good luck for your mental sanity, everyone.
has predicted tomorrow and this sunday is going to be raining
Nice pun with the Singapour
As an other French ferrari fan I've been dead inside since 2018 so now I just suffer Post Ferrari Stress Disorder.
@@BootyT69 that’s just the French way of spelling it
90% of the time rain is predicted it doesn’t actually rain here so the mental insanity shouldn’t be too bad
It's said that teams got instructed that wider limits of porpoising will be allowed.
All peaks above 7G will not be taken in account to calculate the average value(limit) for porpoising.
Will this really help drivers health? Or will teams just change setup to induce more, high force, peaks by changing hard suspension stops?
Reliability could become a concern if they did that, but who knows, they'll exploit whatever loophole they can
Hmmm, so health concerns go out the window? Fia needs to stop being so wishy washy
@@Mikhael03 Reliability of drivers or cars?
@@Chyeahokay I mean in this case the whole deal is that teams can easily make cars safer for drivers. The FIA didn’t force them to have such problems
Sadly I only feel that this action is more likely just an introduction measure for new changes.
They now only want to show that their previous change by introducing measured limits isn't perfect. Justifying others...
Sad for the other teams and developments.
The humidity is the worst part, you get used to it but I went to Moscow and Berlin for a while a few years ago and immediately felt so much fitter because I could move around so much more without feeling tired as hell.
I am so looking forward to this race weekend. I love this Grand Prix so much. If there's any race I'd want to attend live it would be this one.
I do love this GP but I wouldn't want to go there, I don't like high humidity.
Been there and going again this year. The setting is beautiful and the atmosphere is electric. The cars are much louder too because the sound bounces around the tall buildings.
I always find the races at Singapore quite meh.
@@MrKnowledge0014 Singapore GP should've been held in May.
@@purwantiallan5089 Doesn't matter to me
As a South East Asian person the weather we have made me look like I've been through a rain shower every time I got out of my house. The humidity is no joke
We want ‘what if a team can’t get a driver’
(I think you know who I’m talking about)
They could drive with 1. But that's not ideal for the constructors 😂
They can easily find a driver if they had no choice. There's a line of guy's waiting, it just won't be the drivers they want lol.
4:15 That sauna description killed me 😂 that’s tropical weather for you westerners💀💀
When I lived in Singapore I sometimes went for a game of football at nighttime. Considering the fact that I'd be sweaty sitting at a terrace with a beer in a T-shirt and Shorts, the workout was quite brutal. Then I'd take a "cold" shower, but the moment I had dried my body it was wet again with sweat, until I'd be home and had turned on the airconditioning. It must be tough as hell to race there. Was a fun event to visit though!
i was in singapore in 2011
and had no idea what f1 was
we left the friday of 2011 gp weekend and i remember the cab driver telling us about the circuit while we were driving on it! That’s where my love for f1 came from
The toughest but one of my favourites circuit
Hi
I can still remember the excitement of watching the Singapore GP in HD when it first arrived, the cars looked so amazing in the floodlights and the whole backdrop was breathtaking.
I like Singapore for its cyberpunk-y aesthetics, especially in heavy rain at night. Unfortunately FIA no longer allows racing in the rain
I've always wondered how other people think bout the weather here. As a local, you get used to the heat. I'd kill for sub 30 degree temps
Years ago Alonso's drinking system got broken and after the race he was 7kg down in weight and was not able to come out of the car on it's own.
I'm asian and we're used to drink hot coffee in 40°C and up... well good luck to the drivers, its such a thrill to see them race in extreme conditions.
I'm in Singapore right now I came from Sydney Australia and Singapore is unbelievably hot.
Yeah it’s either sunny and hot or cool and rainy.
First time watching Singapore this week thanks
Living in Singapore, I can assure you that it’s cooler at night
As a Singaporean, if you asked us to make a list of things we hate about Singapore, I can guarantee that the weather will be top 3 on most peoples' lists. Kudos to the drivers for being able to withstand racing in such punishing conditions.
How come no one is saying the same thing about Qatar.
Russell setting the ac at 28C and his team feeling uncomfortable when they walk in.
Me a south asian setting my ac at 29C for a comfortable sleep, cause its 36-37 outside. 🙄
WELCOME TO ASIA 😂
With almost half the field DNF, this aged particularly well 😅
I like night races. I wish F1 would do more of those, though I'm really looking forward to Las Vegas next season and how the super late local start is going to work out.
Every race middle east is a night race🤷♂️
Singapore is gonna be interesting with the new cars
the reason is so tough because of the body temperature in singapore it so humid same goes in malaysia
Not to mention the erratic weather! one minute it's hot then another it's pouring like hell
Malaysians and Singaporeans be like: It aint that hot.. its actually cold 🤣
I wished they kept the original Singapore Sling in the race. Made the race even tougher and enjoyable to watch, imo.
as a malaysian its not hard to imagine. You would sweat every moment, even at night if you are not under a fan. we are used to this so a 27 degree celsius would be called a good day(raining day usually is what caused such low temperature)
im from singapore and even the roads is bumpy and also its hard to race on it at night, idk why singapore did it at night.. the fans camera flash drivers gets distracted
at least Matt didn't say Singapore should be cancelled
The summary of sg f1 :The combo of getting wet sweaty and warm air blown into your body while going across 23 bends and bumps per lap with no room for error . Every f1 drivers worst nightmare
The heat isn't surprising given Singapore's latitude. Only 1° off the equator. Makes for a boiling tropical mess of a climate. It'll be interesting to see how it goes this year
Was impartial until playing F1 games and struggling with it, but as I've reeled the proper setup in closer and closer each time it get less difficult, but again that's a game I can play in comfort at home.
I can’t help but remember how absolutely exhausted Max was after Miami this year. I don’t remember seeing any F1 driver like that before, including in any of the previous Singapore GPs.
With that temperatures and humidity like that, it sounds like Cyprus. *dreaming hopelessly*
I used to live in Singapore and I went back for a holiday earlier this year for two weeks having been living in melbourne for the past 6 years where its normally cold except in the summer heatwave, and you cant really even walk outside without sweating let alone do anything
This is the first Singapore Grand Prix I get to watch since this is the first time it’s been on the calendar since I started watching the sport
im going for qualifying tomorrow, hope i have fun!
also yes, the weather here in singapore (30C) is pretty hot, however compared to the middle of the day (could reach 35-38C), that's nothing lol
Enjoy.
@@slevingaius thanks brother!
One of my favorite tracks to race in F1 games
I had an opportunity to be a Cashier/Customer Support service crew at the race, but nah, I would rather be at home watching it on tv
I felt that shade @ 1:25 Matt, you not slick😂
Great vid 👍
2:19 I wasn't aware there was another 8 PM during the day 😄
F1 driver at Singapore GP: highly focused, try not to make any mistake.
Matt at Singapore GP: Into the pits, we must go,El-El-EI-O
i live here, and 80% humidity is just the yearlong average. on a _really_ humid day, measurements can go over 100% as the meters get a bit funky.
My first F1 race I went to was Singapore in 2010, I had a man crush on Webber, and he finished third after a poor start. In Australia will are told to set the air conditioning to 24c at 19c I would be looking for a jumper.
you forgot to say something. it'll RAIN 🌧️🌧️ this weekend there
I live in Singapore and the humidity and heat really makes you sweat profusely
Several times a week I get up at 5.30 to go cycling. I walk out of my lift, and through the lobby door, and get hit with 30 degree / 80% humidity, pretty much every day. I then wonder why the hell I’m doing this - any other country and I’d stay indoors.
28 degrees is a breeze for me
I love the night race aspect and the LED lighting around the track is awesome. However the narrow track areas and vertical sidings look pretty horrible.
Also, the track is counter clockwise (very few are), so it's not the best for their necks either. _Pierre said that in press conference_
Super entertaining presentation as usual! 😅😅👌👌
The thing I remember most about the singapore gp is I can’t remember anything about anouther singapore gp unless that,s the one vettel ramed bumped hamilton once and that made a fuss
In the afternoon in Singapore, the temperature is 41°C (highest for Thursday)
My favorite street track apart from Baku 😩😩😩
I’m singaporean and I love this video
The quantity of content on this page has increased significantly. Good job guys.
I always imagine this street race in cooler, dryer conditions because I believe it would be such an enjoyable technical race and the best of each driver would come out without having to worry about weather conditions.
Nyck the Vries is probably praying that Alex Albon can race!
In Monza he was completely knackered and that circuit is on the other end of the physical difficulty scale.
He likely has worked out a lot the past weeks, but will he be up to the challenge of Singapore?
Alex is confirmed to race this week. But straight from a surgery to the most physical race, hardcore stuff
I wanted to see what he can do in Singapore but if they had to lift him out from his car at Monza then i cant imagine what would happen here
@@spyrosbellos2522 Likely he would give up halfway, or he would crash.
It would not be good for his valuation in any case. Now he is the "super sub" that got points in his first race, he cannot better that in Singapore, but it can get worse.
Whatever about the 'why', the fact that it's a test of stamina and concentration gives it character
This is why I love Singapore.
let me tell you the heat and humidity in Singapore alone is the biggest nightmare
Oh Singapore and Malaysia, the race where drivers lose like 3 kilos. Unbelievable how these drivers can still drive that well
Marina Bay is my favorite Street Circuit
I'd say, get rid of corners 16 thru 19 and you have one of the, if not THE best street circuits out there.
hahahahahah the joke about the merc car this year giving him vibrating practice is too good
Shift workers have known for years to tape alfoil to the windows.
It reflects the light and heat all in one go 🥰
Can’t forget the ridiculous rain that always seems to come when we don’t want it 👍
I watched it in person and damn, the rain really came down and it was waterfalling through the seats
Everytime I race at Singapore in F1 games I tend to crash out a lot of times if not I'm in snails pace
So impressive to see how F1 drivers handle these craziness of Marina Bay like that.
Singaporean here. I can confirm. Just like my daily commute to work. :)
Absolutely love this track
The tires burns quickly as well because the heat bumps into the walls of the track and it circulates around.
Let me save you 5 minutes with the answer: most turns on the calendar, usually goes over 2 hours, and the most humid/hot race. There. Done.
It took me around 15mins to discover your comment.
@@MrKnowledge0014 you didn't know you were looking for it though. But keep replying. It's gonna help the rest find it faster than 5 mins 😂
@@nt.hunter Well after watching the the vid I jus scrolled through the comments and it took that long to get hear.
Seems like it’s gonna be a wet weekend.
Just maybe the first wet race?
Had a good walk on some parts of the circuit,
Highly eager for Prac 1 😊
Street circuits leave very little margin for error cos of the barriers and the less than perfectly paved roads. Also, Singapore is crazy hot around the time of the GP each year.
Most entertaining city circuit on the calendar though!
On top of that the subway runs below the track, and supposedly that causes all sorts of electronic issues for the cars.
Can't wait for Batam F1 circuit to be added to the calendar. It's located just few kilometers away from Singapore. It's gonna be a literal torture for the teams and drivers if Singapore and Batam are arranged 2 weeks in a row
Well then how about a Sepang, Singapore, Batam triple header?
@@wangsengsin2527 holy moly that would be a literal hell for them but a fire entertainment for us!
Sepang and Singapore GP in the future pls!
Lucky Australias race isn't In the middle of summer i live not to far from Albert park and it is almost always 35 degrees which is like 100 farenheit i think and on really hot days gets up to 45 although it is dry heat but is still bad
Dry heat is manageable but not humid heat....it will be a killer
Melbourne has little humidity. The drivers faced similar conditions to a Melbourne summer in France and Spain this year.
If you calculate how many break precure they need to pouch in each corner it is on average 58 kg a corner. That is a lot. I don't know how much force they can do but is does not seem a lot on averge.
Have been in Singapore in August. It started raining and we could not
Even tell it was raining cause it was already so humid. Unreal humidity.
I live in Singapore neighbors country with similar weather, and yes in the night the temperature can reach 30°c, make you sweat just doing nothing 🙃🙃
Third shift has taught me that blackout curtains aren't enough. For best results, add a sleep mask and a white noise machine. Or one of those 8-10 hour noise clips here on RUclips.
People who lives at dry place on humid place: It's friggin' humid & hot!!!
