Follow the three practice sessions, here’s Badger’s special table showing you times and relative gaps for each session to help you judge the form of the cars and drivers around Marina Bay.
You can catch up with the goings on during Friday Practice 1 and 2 here, and as for practice 3, well Sebastian Vettel wasn’t at the top of the leaderboard, so that’s news, but it was still Red Bull fastest with Mark Webber edging out Button for the best time in the final session ahead of qualifying.
Like Monaco, Singapore is a great track in that it’s possible to get a very quick time by running as close to the barriers and eeking out every last millimetre of track to get the ultimate best time, however, like Monaco if you push too hard or go beyond that fine limit known as ‘the edge’ then it’s game over. Because of this, here at Badger, we’re very much looking forward to qualifying…
