F1 Raceweek: Charles Leclerc ready for difficult challenge at Singapore Grand Prix

The Hindu  

After tasting back-to-back victories, Charles Leclerc is preparing for a tougher challenge at the Singapore Grand Prix. Leclerc claimed his first Formula One success at Spa and followed it up with a gutsy triumph at Ferrari's home circuit in Monza, holding off relentless pressure from Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. 23 corners x 61 laps = 1,403 turns That's what @Charles_Leclerc and #Seb5 will be taking on during Sunday's race #essereFerraripic.twitter.com/Ai3hKUf6O1 — Scuderia Ferrari September 17, 2019 "Singapore is maybe the toughest track for us drivers physically, just because of the heat and the humidity," said Leclerc. "After two positive weekends in Belgium and Italy, the race in Singapore doesn't look as good on paper for us, because of the very different circuit layout, featuring lots of slow corners and fewer straights. "We came back from the summer break knowing that the first two races would be difficult for us," said Wolff.
