Lewis came to Singapore with but one aim. “I wanted to redeem myself after the last lap in Monza,” confessed the chastened Englishman. Redemption duly followed in the form of a mesmerizing pole to flag victory, making a mockery of his early season tribulations. For once, both the Brawn and Red Bull teams floundered allowing Jenson Button to maintain a handy fifteen point cushion. Toyota’s Timo Glock equalled his career best finish with an opportunistic second while Fernando Alonso took third for the disgraced Renault team at the very scene of the crime.

F1’s first night race on public roads running between historic landmarks and the spectacular marina has become an instant classic. Despite its claim to being the world’s busiest port, the city itself is relatively compact and easy to explore. Little India, Raffles Hotel and other remnants of a rich colonial past will vie for your attention with the space age architecture and modern duty free shopping malls. Click here for our photo gallery and a pictorial tour. The Miramar Hotel has long been popular with our clients and is no more than a thirty minute stroll from the track. If you don’t fancy the walk, simply hop on a nearby river taxi. After racing and sightseeing there will be time to chill out by the hotel pool or enjoy live music in the bar. Accommodation in Singapore is on “room only” basis.
