It definitely won't make the racing any easier – that is for sure. With all those lights you will get reflections and glistening off of the road - it is no different to when you are in a road car. It is going to be tough if that is the case.

That is one scenario Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa would probably prefer not to have to deal with as they are both in a close fight for the 2008 drivers' title. It is going to be thrilling to see how that fight develops now in the remaining four races and also it will be interesting to see what role their team-mates play.

Don't write off BMW's Robert Kubica or Kimi Raikkonen however. Anyone doing that would be foolish. F1, as we have seen, can throw up some very unpredictable results and things could yet change.

Granted Kimi is having a bad run but if all of a sudden he gets his act together and puts together a string of wins and a few guys behind him have problems, it could all look very different come Brazil.

Let's face it Kimi left it very late to try and pull everything back in the world championship last year - and he did do it. Maybe the same thing could happen. You can never discount him. The moment you think he is not quite pulling his weight he gives you something to talk about. Kimi and Kubica are definitely not out of it yet.

Having said that though, I reckon the McLaren will be better than the Ferrari around Singapore. The fact it is a street circuit, the fact there could be rain, the fact track temperatures will be lower - all those factors should play into the hands of Ron Dennis' men and Hamilton.

The competition behind them will be close though and teams like Toyota and BMW could do well and poke their noses in.

You may even see Toro Rosso up there and challenging for points, elevated by the huge confidence boost they will have got from Monza. STR has been very quick in the wet and the team has been looking quite sensible in dry conditions too.

So to sum up, I think Lewis could well grab pole position as I believe he will excel in Singapore.

I don't think the Ferraris will be too far back though, and Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen will also be up there in qualifying and may start second and third.

Lewis will definitely be the main contender on the Sunday, but something tells me it is not going to be easy for him to take the maximum 10 point haul.

Enjoy the grand prix...
