Lando Norris doubts Singapore’s first Formula 1 Sprint will be one of the best races fans could see, but he is looking forward to the challenge of getting up to speed quickly at Marina Bay.

The Marina Bay Street Circuit hosts its first Sprint this weekend. Teams have only one practice session before competitive running begins; the FIA schedule places practice and Sprint qualifying on Friday, with the Sprint on Saturday.

That short preparation window is part of the appeal for Norris. He said he enjoys finding the limits with little time and believes that could be one of his strengths.
