Giancarlo Fisichella admits that visiting new venues even being a F1 veteran still excites him ahead of the maiden Singapore GP.

Fisichella has traveled widely during his 12 year F1 career but the buzz of racing on a new race track in a new country still gives him the adrenaline thrill.

He said: ""From all I have heard, Singapore is going to be a fantastic event. Even after 12 years in F1, it's nice to go to new venues and particularly one where fans and media have really got behind the sport."

"It will be interesting to race under lights too. I think it will be different, but we will soon adapt - we will do our track walk when it gets dark so we will have an idea of how it will be and how the track will look with the glare from the floodlights"

"I hope we can carry forward our improved performance to Singapore."

"There's a lot of support from Indian fans over there and I hope we can put on a good show for them."
His counterpart, teammate Adrian Sutil, said: ""I'm really looking forward to this event as it will be very different to any other race on the calendar."

"It's a new venue in an amazing city, and of course a night race."

"For sure having a race in the dark will be very interesting, the lights are going to be very bright, so for us it might seem like we are racing during the day, perhaps even brighter."

"Timing wise I will try to stay on European time so I am used to being awake during the night."

"I think this is very important as you want to be at your peak during the sessions, and not feeling like you need to go to bed!"

"I will also arrive a day earlier than I normally would for a flyaway race to get used to the humidity and the heat, which I expect will be very similar to Malaysia."
