This weekend we heading to singapore, the original night race, bernie had many terrible ideas in his latter years in charge. but this was proof he still had glimpses of the old magic & id say his final great idea in charge of F1. an innovative idea that has revolutionised F1. with Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Saudi Arabia & Las Vegas all following suit, & this is 14th running which has now surpassed adelaide, estoril & equalled brands hatch in F1 races
If you're curious about how Formula 1's Net Zero 2030 plans align with the sustainability of night races, In 2022, it was disclosed that 85% of the grid's electricity consumption was carbon neutral. Renewable biodiesel powered 48% of the circuit & since the event in 2011, used cooking oil from food & drink vendors has been collected to convert into biodiesel. Following a successful trial with energy-efficient LED lights, all track lighting was replaced with LED bulbs in 2023, reducing energy usage for track lighting by approximately 1/3
A weird anomaly of the F1 calendar, there are only 3 surviving city states in the world. & F1 race in 2 of them Singapore & Monaco, It's unlikely we'll see a race in Vatican City to complete the set, but as they say, never say never. who doesn't want to see the pope waving the chequered flag
Singapore is among the 20 smallest countries in the world, with a total land area of only 682.7 square kilometres, which is the similar size as Madrid
also something to think about when you see the iconic view of the singapore flyer or the marina bay sands Hotel on the broadcast. Buildings in Singapore cannot be higher than 280 metres
The big news coming into F1 is that we all expected this would be Riccardio ongoing Farewell to F1, in a shock twist we all expected we would be saying goodbye in Abu Dhabi. but it news is growing stronger that we maybe saying goodbye this weekend. Liam Lawson will be brought in after the autumn break when he get back going in a months time at Austin
