Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo is heading to Asia with high hopes of achieving a good result in Singapore at a venue the smiling Aussie particularly appreciates.
Formula 1 will resume with its night racing ways at the fifteenth round of the World Championship, a thrilling and challenging experience according to Ricciardo who has performed well in Singapore in the last two years.
"Singapore is great, a real night race," say the Red Bull Racing stalwart.
"Being able to drive through a massive city at night with all the lights flashing between buildings as you go past is an awesome feeling. It’s weird, I think it actually feels like you are going faster at night."
The specifics of the circuit and its environment hold many difficulties, but Ricciardo admits to enjoying the challenges imposed on the drivers, which are also well balanced with the pleasures provided by a vibrant city which isn't too far away from his native Australia.
"It’s really hot and humid out there, I would say it is probably the most physical race of the year but I enjoy the challenge.
"One main highlight for me is the food, It’s amazing in Singapore. You can get everything and anything but Chili mud crabs are pretty mega so I love having them a lot.
"It seems like a really fun city and I’m really fortunate to get a lot of people coming over from Australia and especially Perth, this means I get a lot of love in Singapore."
