IN Formula 1, Singapore Grand Prix, 2024, Friday, Round-Up, Formula One

As the sun set over Marina Bay, the Friday practice sessions for the Singapore Grand Prix unfolded under the floodlights.

This Marina Bay Street Circuit underwent a little makeover this year, and boy did it shake things up.

The F1 experts predicted that the changes to the circuit would shave off about nine seconds from the lap times. But guess what? It turned out to be even more impressive.

Carlos Sainz clocked a blistering lap at 1:32.120 seconds. That's not just faster; it's a whopping 10.913 seconds quicker than the same session last year.

Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix - Friday round-up

IN Formula 1, Singapore Grand Prix, Friday, Burnpavement

The time sheets were all flashing Scarlet Red, with our Bull championship leaders running into some trouble.

So Honda has unveiled a camo-wrapped Civic Type R, complete with video clips of it charging around Suzuka Circuit, and we here at Burnpavement are happy that it appears to look more subdued than the incumbent FK8R, with its plethora of fake vents and aero devices.

The outgoing model features a 2-litre turbo inline-4 engine pumping out 315hp. We hope the next variant takes things up to around 340hp.

Unwrapping later this year will tell the full story.

Based on Audi’s new MLB-Evo platform (first found in the new Q7), the new A4 is as much as 120kg lighter than the outgoing model. Although it really does not look it, the car has also grown in size, 25 mm longer and 16 mm wider to be precise. The model we tested is the Design trim which comes with extra chrome trimmings and the sportier 17-inch alloy wheels.
