Race 16 - Singapore 2023 GP

[Nitrodaze]

The Singapore track now has corners 16 to 19 removed to produce a high downforce layout, replaced by a short straight linking the old corner 15 to corner 20, adding a lap to the race. This is a sweatbox of a race, bumpy with high tire deg.

Verstappen has never won this race. Checo won it last year. The McLarens may go very well here. If an upset will happen, this is one of those tracks where it could. A Mclaren win would be very popular, especially if Piastri pulls it off.

Leclerc is brilliant in street circuits and could be on the podium at this race. This track may also favor the Mercedes. Mercedes is a dark horse for the race win, especially in Hamilton's hands. But Russell seems pumped in the last few races, it would be interesting to see what he is able to do.

Ricciardo is in the paddock for the race weekend. I like to be a fly on the wall in the Alpha Tauri garage to see the chemistry between Ricciardo and Lawson.
