2012 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix Betting

When: 21 - 23 September 2012 (Fri to Sun)

Where: Marina Bay Street Circuit

F1 Singapore Grand Prix

The Singapore is one of the newer races in the F1 schedule and has been setting the stage for one of the highlights of the Formula One calendar, earning it the title of "the jewel in the Formula One crown". The Singapore Grand Prix is the first and only Grand Prix to be held entirely at night under a flood lit track. Making it totally unique and a different experience for the drivers. Built once a year in the heart of the cities streets, the track is a piece of logistical genius and a showcase of Singapore and its ability to organise and deliver on the greatest challenges. The circuit winds its way through the city and around the bay, passing under grandstands, across Victorian bridges and past the Raffles complex.

Singapore Grand Prix Betting

Bet on the high-speed action, when F1 drivers take on the Marina Bay street circuit, with its spectacular city backdrop featuring historical landmarks, including the 100-year-old Anderson Bridge and the Raffles Boulevard. And what's more unique is the setting up of a state-of-the-art lighting system. A 5 kilometer track is lined with over 1,600 lamps, and is said to be four times brighter than those used at football stadiums.

Bet on F1 drivers as they race a total of 61 laps at speeds sometimes approaching 300 kilometers per hour - in a country that once banned the sport, in part for promoting reckless driving. The night aspect of the race makes it an interesting betting spectacle with all sorts of driver match up odds. The new addition to Grand Prix betting will provide a test for drivers on what is a street circuit, and will challenge F1 sports bettors judgement as they peruse Grand Prix odds. 

The Formula One Betting odds is starting to heat up at this stage of the season and the Singapore Grand Prix could be a pivotal race in the season. Marina Bay Street Circuit betting is considered quite difficult to predict due to it being a newer race in the F1 schedule, this only adds to the opportunity of picking a big price winner at Bookmaker Sportsbook.

The Singapore Grand Prix

The Singapore Grand Prix was re-introduced to the F1 calendar in 2008 following its discontinuation way back in 1973. The circuit is incredibly bumpy and is a huge physical challenge for the drivers who are likely to make numerous mistakes as a result. This demanding nature of the circuit is magnified by the fact that Singapore is one of the longest races of the year and the most dangerous on the Fomula One circuit.

Marina Bay Street Circuit

The Marina Bay Street Circuit offers a staggering 23 different corners, through 13 left hand and 10 right hand turns offering a number of overtaking opportunities. Drivers have to pay close attention to every corner if they want to end up over the finish line and not sitting in the gravel somewhere on the track.

Turn three of the Marina Bay Street Circuit is arguably the most difficult part of the course because it is a 75 degree turn which is difficult at any point of a race.

Turn ten of the Marina Bay Street Circuit is the start of a chicane which is very deceptive. The common thinking with chicanes is that they can be tackled at high speed but the angles of this chicane are slightly more extreme and it follows a straight which means a driver could easily go off.

Turn 13 of the Marina Bay Street Circuit starts the final sector of the track and is almost an exact replica of turn three. The problem here is that the ground is not level in the run up to the corner which can be deceptive for drivers as they approach.

The Singapore Grand Prix also includes one of the most dangerous pit lanes in F1. This is because the pit lane ejects riders out right at the first corners. Any car coming down the home straight could easily crash into a car coming slowly out of the pit lane hence the difficulty of this point.

Recent winners of the latest edition of the Singapore Grand Prix are Fernando Alonso, who won in 2008 and again in 2010, with a win for Lewis Hamilton for McLaren in 2009.
