Ricciardo: “Singapore, the toughest race of the championship”

He left Monza with a double top ten thanks to eighth place Ricciardo and on the tenth of Kvyat. The Red Bull is preparing to face the first of the Asian rounds at the end of the championship in Singapore with the optimism of an opportunity not to be wasted given the layout of the circuit which does little to reward those driven by a powerful engine.

“It is usually very hot and humid perhaps due to the skyscrapers blocking the air. As far as I'm concerned, I consider it the hardest race of the year on a physical level. Already during the warm-up lap the drinking water becomes as hot as tea – he explained Daniel – Having said that, I like the track. She jumps on curbs and kisses walls. The atmosphere is nice and there is a lot of life in the city."

“It is one of the most demanding races of the championship in terms of duration and temperatures reached. In any case, the track isn't bad and it's a bit reminiscent of Monaco although it's a bit faster – comments from Daniil – Last year I struggled a lot because my liquid bottle didn't work, however I think I'm prepared for any eventuality. Speaking of difficulties in running at night, I don't think there are any in terms of time zones either. It's a shame not to be able to visit the place more carefully given my many commitments."
