Formula 1 drivers believe this year's track changes to the Singapore circuit will deliver more exciting racing in Sunday's Grand Prix.
The construction of the multi-purpose outdoor venue NS Square means Turns 16, 17, 18 and 19 have been removed from the final sector, so the track will no longer go under the grandstand towards the end of the lap.Instead, there will be a straight from Turn 15 to the old Turn 20 and 21 chicane, which will now be the Turn 16 and 17 chicane.
'Maybe that can potentially create more opportunities to overtake because there are not a huge amount.'Aston Martin's Lance Stroll echoed the Mercedes drivers, saying: 'I think it's good for racing on Sunday for sure.'It's been a place that is a lot of fun on Saturdays but can be a little bit dull on Sunday.'Hopefully it can give us a bit more exciting racing on Sunday.
