Williams' Lance Stroll in unknown territory

Lance Stroll will be racing in unfamiliar territory this weekend as the Williams rookie tackles the Singapore Grand Prix for the very first time.

After a three-race points scoring stint which started at his home race in Montreal, Stroll's efforts were fruitless in Great-Britain, Hungary and Belgium.

But the 18-year-old returned to the top ten at Monza two weeks ago with a battling drive, proving his doubters - if there are any that still remain - wrong once again.

Singapore could prove challenging however for the young Canadian, not only because of its unfamiliar scene but also because of the difficulties associated with the twisty and bumpy street track.

Stroll is undaunted however, and will take it all in his stride, as usual.

"Singapore is new territory for me, but I don’t mind that at all," he says in Williams' race preview.

"So far the only night race I have done was in Bahrain, but this will obviously be very different as it is on a street circuit.

"I like the looks of the track from what I have seen and certainly it appears to be very technical."

The Marina Bay's hot and humid - and electrifying - atmosphere can throw a spanner into a driver's works, but Stroll has prepared accordingly.

"While I am sure Singapore as a place to visit is really cool, the temperature when we race there will be the exact opposite and the conditions will be hot and humid," he adds.

"The race should be really demanding physically and we will do a bit of training in the heat before going there.

"However, really you just have to carry on with the normal training and then suffer through the conditions."
