Saturday at the Singapore GP F1 2017, the circuit prepares the lights for the qualifying session, but before we have seen some interesting free practice 3 at the Ferrari seemed to have found the solution to the problems that were found yesterday to warm up the tires. The Maranello seem to have given with the key, and today the Ferrari has been fastest, with Vettel at the front by the pole, therefore will go out first thing tomorrow morning without too much discomfort, since Mercedes have been left behind. We have already mentioned yesterday that the car of Mercedes is slightly longer than the other and it seems they don’t come any good on street circuits like Monaco or the other. So that would be a good site for that Sebastian did a good performance and recortase points for the world with regard to Lewis Hamilton.
In the free 3 we have also seen the two McLaren-Honda very strong, like Red Bull. Remember that it is a circuit that does not matter both the engine and yes the traction and aerodynamics. Alonso put his car in 4th position, while Vandoorne was just behind in 5th position on the leaderboard. However, in classification has been somewhat different, as the rest of the cars seem to save a plus or have a special map for the engines and Honda is left behind. So, Fernando Alonso has only been able to be 8th, followed by his team-mate who has also entered the Q3, a sign that the car is going very well in this type of circuits but I lack a good power unit. All forms will already be aware of what happened yesterday with the announcement of Toro Rosso-Honda and McLaren-Renault to 2018. If the japanese solve their problems and reach beyond to Renault would be to pull your hairs since then…
The other Spanish, Carlos Sainz, has been able to sneak into Q3 unexpectedly, as the simulator for the team of Faenza said they were in around 12th place and was able to get 10th. His objective tomorrow will be to catch a point, as has been mentioned today. We’ll see how they behave under the McLaren-Honda-and if the race kept the reliability. If so, I hope I can get some point. By the way, McLaren came to this circuit with the hopes of being the 4th best team/car and at the end they have cast some ahead, as the Renault of Nico Hülkenber. The gauls made some statements prior to the Singapore GP, alleging that they, too, opted to be the 4th car here, and it seems to have gotten. You have to be cautious and see what happens tomorrow in the race, because that is when the points are allocated. Starting McLaren has used all the sets of tires soft, so I have not saved anything like other times to be able to be there in those positions.
they should be congratulate are the Red Bull, which have been very strong all weekend, placing its cars in the top positions and today have been 2nd and 3rd, with Max Verstappen highlighting after the Ferrari while Daniel Ricciardo has been just a few thousandths behind his team mate, but both in front of another Ferrari, that of Kimi. Care morning in the output, because we have already seen that Verstappen does not think much at the time of attack, and it may have some touch, in addition to let us remember that the first curves are something critical, do not go to see pieces jump and cars off track at the first change. Be that as it may, it seems that is waiting for us an interesting race and beautiful under the dark sky of Singapore with a circuit illuminated with spotlights, something that gives a very special touch.

Morning the key of the race will go through to keep the pace between the walls and not give any rubbing with them as usual in this circuit. Remember that here you can exit Safety Car and change it all by some accident. The concentration of the pilot among these streets of walls of hormigón is complicated, not only by the attention they demand a street circuit, but because the conditions of heat and humidity here are also extreme, with very high temperatures inside the cockpit. Also hard for the mechanics, which must withstand these weather conditions if they want to score. With all these toppings, it raises and interesting to see if Hamilton can hunt down Vettel or not, although I see it difficult for the English.>
