Williams suffering in Singapore?

At ease on fast tracks, as proven by the Silverstone or more recently Monza events, the team's FW37 Williams had shown itself in difficulty on the urban route of Monaco, or on the Hungarian turnstile, Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa failing each time outside the top 10.

This weekend, at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore, the drivers of Frank Williams' team believe that the challenge should also be tough for the Grove team. “Among the last races at the end of this season, this is probably the most difficult track for our car, but that doesn't mean we can't hope to pick up points, However, Massa comments.

It's not easy to get the perfect setting and get the tires working in the right operating window, and these are challenges we will have to face from the first session. »

Valtteri Bottas also reminds that the atmospheric conditions will also represent a real challenge. « Heat, humidity, and intensity on the track also make this track very physically demanding. There are some changes to the route this year, so it will be interesting to see what the effects are. »

The Singapore route was in fact modified at turns 11 to 13.
