Before Singapore’s first Sprint weekend, Charles Leclerc said the format would be tough for both drivers and teams, but that he was looking forward to it.
The Ferrari driver said teams would need to find the right set-up and get the car and tyres into their operating windows, while drivers judged how far to push in Sprint qualifying. The planned schedule included one afternoon practice session before Sprint qualifying at night, with the Sprint itself also scheduled for the afternoon.
Leclerc said he particularly likes the exercise and considers Marina Bay one of his favourite circuits of the season.
