BMW Sauber’s boss, Mario Theissen, believes that the Singapore Grand Prix will be the highlight of the 2008 Formula 1 season.<\/p>\n
There will be 1500 spotlights illuminating the streets of Singapore this weekend for the sport’s first night race.<\/p>\n
Theissen confessed that he was very impressed by the place.<\/p>\n
\u00ab The setting is impressive and spectacular with all these skyscrapers, roads, and parks, \u00bb the German stated.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It’s incredible. I’ve already gone over the route and I find it really different from what we’re used to seeing. I didn’t quite expect this. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab In March, the circuit seemed much faster in certain areas. I thought that some were very difficult, particularly approaching the bridge. This has been significantly modified. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab Security has been strengthened but at the expense of overtaking opportunities. If you look beyond the track, with the media enthusiasm or the commitment of the largest companies, for example, I think this Grand Prix will be the pinnacle of the season, \u00bb he continued.<\/p>\n
However, Theissen is not sure that the Marina Bay circuit will see more overtaking than the Valencia circuit which, despite the praise, did not offer any spectacle in terms of overtaking.<\/p>\n
\u00ab As in Valencia, the question mark for me is the overtaking. I expected something different from the Spanish track, which is certainly faster than this one. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
