The Singapore Grand Prix is always one of the most gruelling events on the Formula 1 calendar. The hot and humid conditions and the relentless circuit layout always make it tricky for drivers. They often climb out of the cockpit feeling dizzy. Though there's also another challenge: it's a night race.

With the race lasting around two hours, the drivers don't get out of the cockpit until around 10pm. Then, there is the media commitment, recovery and team debrief to complete. Mercedes informed the media that George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were unable to complete the media duties due to exertions. Wolff later said: "They are both suffering from overheating but they are fine now. They put themselves in the ice baths and I think that helped a bit."

Life away from the track in Singapore

Russell's girlfriend, Carmen Montero Mundt, posted on Instagram on Monday. It was her first trip to Singapore and she explained there were "dinners at midnight, walks at 2am".
