Singapore F1 track changes set to help brakes and tyres
The layout of the track for this year’s race in Singapore has been changed due to construction work. The four near 90-degree corners towards the end of the lap have been removed and a new longer straight section has been added. These changes will result in a quicker lap time and reduce the demand on brakes, allowing the tires to last longer. The new layout may also create more overtaking opportunities at the newly introduced Turn 16. However, the faster lap time may pose challenges for teams in making strategy calls during safety car and virtual safety car situations.
