F1 | Toro Rosso, Sainz: “Singapore? Long, narrow and tiring”

In home Toro Rosso it's time to dismiss the market and get back on track. Carlos Sainz, the man at the center of the negotiations of the last few days, spoke about what's next Singapore Grand Prix: “I would say Singapore's probably is the toughest race on the calendar, not only for the nature of its circuit, but also for the physical effort to which each driver is subjected. Driving with more than 50 or 60 degrees Inside the passenger compartment, due to the heat and humidity, subjects the body to great stress. The track itself is very long, narrow and extremely tiring. There is no time to rest during a fast lap and you have to remain 100% concentrated at all times, as the side guards are very close indeed. Last year I had one of my best qualifyings of the season, and it was something really important to do in Singapore, because on this track it is difficult to overtake during the race. We'll see if we can get a good result this year.".

Daniil Kvyat, however, in Marina Bay he goes hunting for those points that he is missing from the race Barcelona: “The Singapore Grand Prix is ​​a really great event because it takes place in the heart of a really cool city, there's a mega atmosphere. Running at night makes everything even more special and I would say that it is one of the most special weekends of the year. It's quite hot and humid here, which means it's going to be a physically demanding race. Last year I finished in the points (P9), after a good qualifying session (P7): I hope we can be competitive again this year. Then, anything can happen in Singapore, the barriers here are really close to the track and physical preparation can make the difference. We must seize every opportunity presented to us and bring home as many points as possible.".
