It just irritates me. I find it pointless. I'll make an extra effort to like it this year
Favourite part of the circuit has to be the penultimate/last corners. Love those sweepers.

I won't see this LIVE, as I'm at Rockingham for the BTCC. |

After last year's problems with the kerbs, they've had steel ones fitted. |

are we talking about the kerbs at the sling specifically, or on other sections of the track? |

Around the other sections. Remember that last year I think at Turns 3, 7 and 14 they kept coming loose and eventually they just painted a kerb on, which most drivers ignored. I always find it a shame they can't remodel the Sling, I find it horrible. |

nah, it's an integral part of the circuit. Frustrating, but adds that extra element. |

If the drivers moan about something, it's usually a good thing that there needs to be more of. Therefore, the Singapore Sling is one of the best things in F1. |

I like the drifting at the exit of Turn 1 in order to place the car in the best possible position for Turn 3. I can already imagine the slow-mo's of the drifters: Schumacher, Raikkonen, maybe Alonso. |

I love the whole night experience; seeing the cars under the lights. And being able to see the drivers eyes. |

For some reason I have a feeling this race is going to suck balls. |

well, doesn't it do mostly? |

There's usually something going on. Even if it does suck, it's an awesome spectacle. Every race has some sort of intrigue. It doesn't have to be a race with 100 overtakes to be exciting. Although 2012 is going down the trend of 2011 a little - teams understanding the tyres from mid-season and the races on the whole being calmer. |

I'm looking forward to this race. It's the longest race in calendar (without rain-delays or SC periods) lasting for almost two hours (1:56:06.337 was the fastest race in 2009 here). Funny thing that it comes right after Monza, which is the shortest race of the year

always a race to look forward too, because the track lay out is so 'unusual' at some parts. |

the sparks, the clear visors, the blue flames of heat coming from the exhaust, the unusual setting. A quite unique event indeed. |

Did someone say sparks?

This is by far the hardest race on the calendar. A really tough track, 2 hour race, heat, fatigue, racing under lights. The circuit could do with some changes in the future to open up some of the corners and extend the back straight a bit. |
