The crazy night race in Singapore
Singapore / Cologne - Only four days until the first night race in Formula 1 (Sunday, 14 clock). Singapore, which means a crazy chase with Tempo 300 by Hochausschluchten.
1600 floodlights provide stadium atmosphere. And even the most fearless Formula 1 drivers have respect.
EXPRESS listened to the paddock - and answers the important questions.
"Singapore - this only occurs to me: Lights out, walk down," says Monza winner Sebastian Vettel (21) in his usual flippant Art by hooks EXPRESS: Have no fear, nothing to see? "One just needs to open his eyes," jokes of Hesse.
"No, seriously, I hope that they do not switch off the light." It would be the nightmare scenario: What happens when the middle of the race suddenly the lights go out?
The Italian lighting specialists Valerio Maioli, the high-tech system designed for Singapore. "Back-up generators to guarantee, as with any Formula 1 race, the safety of spectators, drivers and track marshals," he said, assuring the best visibility conditions:
"Our 1600 light projectors with a total capacity of 3,180,000 watts care with 3,000 lux for four times more light than in sports stadiums."
Toyota driver Timo Glock (26) has been from his time in the U.S. Champ Car night experience: "I've ridden in Las Vegas 2005, a night race, because of the lighting conditions, it produces no change," says Glock, but I know also: "Singapore is very different, because there certainly is raining."
The tropical island is located 137 km north of the Equator and the probability of rain is 70 percent at the race Sunday. Vettel weather in Singapore! And the twisty course with 23 corners and three plays to the overtaking Toro Rosso's young star.
"Can super Seppi" hope after his historic victory in Monza rain chaos on another success?
"It would be presumptuous to expect from us a victory in Singapore," said Vettel, but is looking forward to the new challenge: "I think it is quite another to drive into the night. And the route is the hammer. "
Nick Heidfeld BMW-Star Singapore provides a very pragmatic: "I'm more of a night person and not a great early riser. So I should fit well the rhythm of this weekend. "

Lufthansa is now doing to budget airlines
Berlin / Frankfurt --
Budget airlines like RyanAir and Air Berlin have showed how it - less space, less service, for cheaper airline tickets. Now wants to follow suit, the German Lufthansa.
The airline wants to become more efficient in the loss-making European routes and remove the low cost market share again. "It can not be right that we go with a lot of strength and managerial capacity to win one or the other foreign markets such as Switzerland or Austria as the home market and simultaneously lose important parts of our domestic market," said Deputy CEO Christoph Franz, the "world .
This should be specifically incorporated elements from the business model of budget airlines in some areas. For example, in Europe should be increased traffic, the seating density. In return, the backs of airplane seats would be thinner. Means closer seats, but more seats.
Currently, there are also six levels of service depending on the flight - from snacks to full dinners. That makes planning difficult, is very expensive and would therefore be reviewed as well, "said Franz continued. Says: Soon there may be fewer choices and less service.
The "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung," Franz said that it was illusory to try to transfer the concepts of low cost one to one on the business model of Lufthansa.
In addition, the agency with its subsidiary, Lufthansa German Wings has for some time to prove that they could with any other corporate brand in this segment as "moving quite well." There plans to take your money and extra for additional services such as other competitors, it is not currently, "Franz said, however, the market was being watched.
With regard to the individual group brands were told that the competition between the members of the airline alliance had "expressly requested". "If our companies do not exploit their opportunities in the market, it will do its competitors. We make sure that the competition effect for the benefit of the whole system. "
