Petrov travels early to Singapore

19 September 2011

Vitaly Petrov is heading to Singapore by as early as Monday in order for what he considers the best possible preparation for Formula 1’s only night race. This weekend’s event promises to be one of particular excitement, with some rain forecast.

“I don’t think you can easily prepare for this race,” says the Russian Renault driver. “The conditions will be the same as we faced in Malaysia and we can’t simulate these weather conditions back in England!

“I like the fact that we will be working at night and sleeping during the day; I actually think that in adopting this pattern I will be able to sleep more!

“The best way to prepare is to arrive in Singapore as early as possible to acclimatise oneself. It will be the same for everyone so I don’t fear this race, not at all.”
