Mar.31 (GMM) Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen will be perhaps the best prepared drivers for F1's first ever night race in Singapore later this year.
Representatives for the Anglo-German team McLaren were in the Asian city-state at the weekend as race organisers tested the lighting system for the event along a stretch of the street circuit's layout.Retired double world champion Mika Hakkinen was conducting demonstration driving duties for fans in one of last year's McLaren single seaters, and he told reporters that he thought special testing so that drivers can get used to night driving is not necessary.Meanwhile, McLaren technical staff witnessed the lighting demonstration on Saturday, and took detailed photographic footage of the scene, the local Pan-Asian news service Channel Newsasia said."When we get back to England, we are going to put this on our simulator," McLaren's special projects chief, and long time associate of Ron Dennis, Neil Trundle, said.
