Hamilton keeping time with Europe in Asia
Published Date:

Lewis Hamilton is planning to go the hard way in his preparations for next weekend's historic Singapore Grand Prix.
The island state hosts Formula 1's first night race, with the circuit taking in a number of famous landmarks such as Raffles Boulevard, Anderson Bridge and the Singapore Flyer ferris wheel.
But it is the timing of the event that is all the talk, with the two practice sessions on Friday starting at 7pm and 9.30pm local time.
The unusual timings mean an entirely different approach to the weekend for drivers, and for current championship leader Hamilton team doctor Aki Hintsa is key.
"Our doctor has prepared a very precise schedule for the drivers to stick to because all the sessions are so late in the day," said Hamilton.
"Essentially we must not acclimatise to the local time.
"For the drivers, our meal, waking and sleeping rhythms will all be in European time."
