Sergio Pérez will be visiting Singapore’s Marina Bay for the first time this weekend, with the Mexican having joined Sauber at the start of the 2011 season. Earlier this year, the rookie finished seventh on Melbourne’s semi-street circuit before being disqualified for a rear wing irregularity.
“I believe the Singapore circuit could be a good one for us,” says the 21-year-old. “I have not raced there yet, but I have gone a lot of work in the simulator and, knowing our car, I really hope we can have a positive weekend there. We obviously need to score points to get back our sixth position in the World Championship.
“I did some night racing in Qatar when I was in GP2 - it is a very special feeling if you live at night and it can also be fun. I will arrive from Zurich, which means I come from the European time zone and then for the night race you actually just stick to that and don’t go onto local time.
“I only had a quick look around Singapore during a stop-over, so I can’t say much about it as that was only a few hours. This time I will make sure I go early enough to discover a bit more about it.”
After the Italian Grand Prix, Sauber lie just one point behind Force India in their quest to recover sixth place overall for 2011.
