The tremendous downforce generated by F1 cars allows them to turn corners at a blazing 320km/h, almost double the speed that a normal sports car can handle.

Brake to speed up?! The Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K) in each F1 car can convert the energy generated from braking to produce up to 160 brake horsepower for about 33 seconds per lap.

Each team competing in the FIA F1 World Championship now travels something like 160,000 kilometres (100,000 miles) a year between races and test sessions.

The highest recorded speed of a F1 car during a race is 369 km/h (229 mph). Thats faster than the average take-off speed of a jumbo jet!

Why does the Singapore Grand Prix have 61 laps? The circuit length, when multiplied by the number of laps, meets the minimum distance of 305km required for F1 races (61 x 5.065km = 308.828km).

- 4kg

A F1 car is made up of 80,000 components. 100% precision is absolutely necessary even if they were assembled 99.9% correctly, that would still mean that 80 things were done wrongly.

F1 drivers lose up to 4kg of their body weight in sweat every two hours of racing. Thats more than 2 big bottles of isotonic sports drinks!

A drivers neck has to withstand 24kg of weight under hard acceleration. Thats close to the maximum weight of each piece of checked-baggage on most airlines

Gone in 1.923 seconds! Red Bull is the first F1 team to achieve a pit stop in under two seconds.

SINGAPORE RIVERThe Singapore River was once the lifeblood of colonial commercial trade. Today, its riverbanks are still abuzz, but the bustle of entrepot trade has been replaced with an array of historic buildings, restaurants and after-dark entertainment. The contrasting sight of restored colonial landmarks like The Fullerton Hotel Singapore against towering modern skyscrapers makes this neighbourhood a particularly striking one to explore.
