Fairy tale venue, fantasy podium, nightmare day for Ferrari – all made for a dream début for Singapore and for night racing in Formula 1.

The first [...]
After a day’s delay because of tropical storm Hanna passing through, the final NASCAR Race for the Chase took place in perfect conditions, sunshine and blue skies making you wonder what all the fuss had been about the previous day.
