his weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix is set to offer Daniel Ricciardo his best opportunity yet to recapture some of the form of his breakthrough 2014 campaign.

The tight and technical Marina Bay street circuit is likely to negate some of the advantages held by the Mercedes powered teams with handling and precision outweighing the need for outright grunt.

After scaling the podium eight times last season including three victories, Ricciardo has been forced to lower his expectations this term following persistent power and reliability issues with the Red Bull team’s Renault power unit.

The extent of Renault’s problems were highlighted at the Italian Grand Prix last time out when Ricciardo was forced to undergo two engine changes. One of the units failed after just five laps of running.

Engine concerns has seen Ricciardo unable to challenge the front runners on a regular basis, restricting the 26-year-old to a solitary podium at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

However, the Western Australian heads to Singapore with renewed hope with the circuit expected to suit the Red Bull RB11 enough to fight for a podium finish.

“I don’t want to get too excited, but we can all go in

there with some confidence,” said Ricciardo in the lead up to the event.

“I think the car has got better and better in the last few races, and Singapore will bring our car to life.

“Hopefully we can challenge Ferrari for a podium.”Meanwhile, the fallout from the tyre pressure

controversy at the Italian Grand Prix continues to rumble on.

Pirelli and the FIA will work together this weekend to issue clearer guidelines to teams in order to prevent a repeat of the incident at Monza, which saw Lewis Hamilton’s victory placed in doubt after his tyres were initially judged to be under the required tyre pressure limit.

As for the title race, time is beginning to run out for Nico Rosberg with the margin to Hamilton increasing to 53 points following his retirement at Monza.

The German must capitalise upon every opportunity if he wishes to reel in the Brit.

Street Circuit Whilst there is certainly more room in which to manoeuvre the car and avoid contact with the walls than in Monaco, drivers are nonetheless running mere centimetres from the barriers in a number of places around the Marina Bay circuit. Track Surface Contact with the ground serves only to upset the car on corner entry, so a compromise must be found for the optimal setup. Maximising the potential of the car around a lap whilst minimising the risk of errors is a tough balance to find - and all the more challenging since the removal of certain suspension tools. Tyres The soft and supersoft compounds have been nominated for this race - a standard allocation for the Marina Bay circuit. As proven in Monaco, this should not create any issues and a similar scenario to that of last season can therefore be expected.

What is interesting about Singapore is that, when the sun sets, track temperature stabilises at ambient temperature - usually around 30 degrees at this time of year.

MARINA BAY STREET CIRCUITAlthough this is not a particularly high figure, tyre overheating is a common occurrence. This is brought about by continuous sets of corners putting high amounts of energy through the rubber, coupled with minimal time spent travelling in a straight line to allow the surface to cool.

Safety Cars Once again, the tight nature of the circuit increases the likelihood of incidents and also makes it difficult to clear stricken cars away when they do stop on track. As a relatively new venue on the calendar compared to, say, Melbourne, the Singapore marshals are also not quite as experienced in dealing with such scenarios. Although they do a fine job, it can take a little longer for racing to resume here than at comparable circuits. There are also not as many access points as you might find in Monaco, for example. Each of these factors can contribute to lengthy safety car periods and, as a consequence, a race which often runs right up to the two hour limit. Climate Since the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix in 2008, there has not been a single wet session to date. It has come close to being

so on at least once occasion - but has thus far failed to materialise. This is unlikely to change, as the weather profile in Singapore is such that rain tends to arrive during the late afternoon, which does not clash with track running time.

Offset Hours Handling the offset schedule of Singapore in the most effective manner possible is a topic often discussed - and one that does hold some significance. There are a few schools of thought on this - the first being to tackle the change head on come race day. Then, there’s the more progressive approach - making the adjustment as early as possible and staging it over a few days. Whichever philosophy is adopted, the end result is very much the same in that team members must wake at around lunch time and head home as the sun rises the next day. Although it may seem a simple transition to the outside world, the fact remains that this is fundamentally confusing to the human body - which very much operates on the principles of daylight being the time to remain awake. For everybody involved, maintaining peak performance and avoiding mistakes during hours in which the body is used to resting is not as simple as it may seem.
