Alpine's Esteban Ocon believes 2022 F1 cars will behave like go-karts over kerbs on the streets of Singapore next weekend.
The new cars have been already proved to be tricky at similar temporary venues such as Montreal and Baku earlier this season.
While bouncing has to some degree been dialled out at recent events, it is expected to be more prominent once again in Singapore, which F1 will visit next weekend for the first time since 2019. "It's going to be very bumpy,” said Ocon. “A big challenge I think for us, very physical. I love Singapore. But the track itself is not my favourite. They are go-karts on kerbs, it's going to be a tricky one.
"It's not going to be fun. But we're up for the challenge. And I think it's going to be interesting also to see who chooses what, in terms of set-up. If you go for the car that rides well, or the car that has grip." Asked if it might be the worst track of year, he said:"I think Canada has been pretty bad. But probably it will be one of the worst ones. It always is, it's not news."
