Heidfeld questions first race at night
18 September 2008Formula 1 will travel to Singapore next week for the first Grand Prix at night. The street circuit will enjoy its first F1 race in Singapore under floodlights. BMW Sauber F1 driver Nick Heidfeld still questions the conditions of racing under floodlights, especially when it rains.
"It is quite simply an unknown entity," said Nick Heidfeld ahead of the 15th race. Neither the German nor his racing driver colleagues have ever competed in a Formula One event at night. "Maybe it will be ok, maybe not," says Nick. "We don't know what awaits us, especially if it rains - and at the moment there is every chance of there being a few drops of rain, particularly in the evening."
While preparations in Singapore started quite a while ago, the BMW Sauber F1 Team drivers have not yet had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the extraordinary conditions under the floodlights. A night race represents a real challenge for Nick and Robert. Nick says: "Even if it looks well lit, I think it should have been possible to test it at least once in advance."
