Question: Is this an overtaking circuit (Singapore), Lewis?
Lewis Hamilton: My guess is as good as yours. It is very wide, so I am sure there is a bit more room to do so but whether or not you can close enough to people, we will find out.
Question: And your feelings about the circuit? Have you had a look?
Lewis Hamilton: Not really, no. I drove to the track this morning and got off the motorway or wherever we were and I saw some of the circuit. But I haven’t yet gone round the circuit. I’ll do so later tonight.
Question: Lewis, a disappointment in Paris. How do you move on?
Lewis Hamilton: I don’t think I am coming from a disappointment. I come away from quite an exciting race in Monza. I had a great flight out here and I feel great for the weekend. We have got some good upgrades for the car. It is going to be an interesting one for all of us. I am sure we are all very excited to get out on the circuit for the first time and just experience what it is like. I am sure we have all participated in a night karting event or something like that in the past but this is going to be a lot different driving at high speeds. We will just have to wait and see how it goes. I am just excited.
Question: What is the most exciting or challenging part of the race that you are really looking forward to?
Lewis Hamilton: I would agree. It’s difficult to point out something that we just don’t know; we just don’t know what’s going to be the most exciting thing when we get out on the track. It’s just that it’s at night. We’re driving at 200mph at night time with lights flashing in our eyes and we just have to see how we deal with that. That’s going to be most exciting thing.
Question: What could be dangerous, what could go wrong in a night race?
Lewis Hamilton: The lights switch off.
Question: There is always an extra motivation when competing in your home race or Monaco. Is there any extra motivation to be the first winner here?
Lewis Hamilton: For sure, being the first time in Singapore, the city we’re in here is beautiful. And so to come here for the first time and see the city and to win the first night race ever for sure would be spectacular and a great experience. It’s not the same as winning your home Grand Prix obviously but I think it could be special for any one of us drivers.
