Michael Schumacher will race in Singapore for the first time. At the wheel of his Mercedes, he will discover a new track and a night race.

"I have always been fond of getting to know new circuits and Singapore will definitely be an exciting adventure," said Michael Schumacher in a team preview.

"I have three reasons to look forward to the weekend; it is a new circuit for me, it is a city race and it will be my first night race. Driving a new track has never been too complicated for me and I am usually very quick to learn and find the rhythm. As a team, we would like to perform strongly and we will give our maximum to deliver as good a show as possible."
