Singapore Grand Prix strategy guide

MARINA BAY, Singapore -- The Singapore Grand Prix is likely to be a one-stop race but it won't be a straightforward. The top ten will all start on the hyper-soft tyre, which isn't good for much more than ten laps while running on heavy fuel. They are then expected to switch to the ultra-soft for a long second stint, but tyre management will be absolutely crucial. Unfortunately, that means drivers are likely to limit their pace significantly from the start of the race and it's unlikely we'll see the sort of flat-out racing that made for such a thrilling Italian Grand Prix two weeks ago.
