Pat Symonds has said that going from the high-speed Monza circuit in Italy to the streets of Singapore presents a unique set of challenges.
Despite being shorter than Monza, the Marina Bay circuit in Singapore has more than twice as many corners and a considerably lower top speed, and the Williams technical chief says that it brings its own extreme demands as a result.

"The move from Monza to Singapore is one of extremes, going from the lowest downforce and drag circuit of the season to a street circuit where emphasis is on high downforce and good mechanical grip," Symonds told Planet F1. "Singapore presents many unique challenges, not least of which being that it is a night race."
"The circuit puts a premium on low-speed grip and traction. It also has a high braking demand with certain areas requiring good ride to maintain mechanical grip," he added. "It’s a circuit we have performed reasonably well on in recent years, so we look forward to collecting some strong points as we continue our championship battle."
