F1 Chief Bernie Ecclestone is so happy with the success of the Singapore GP that he wants it with an unchanged format for more 20 years.
At the opening of a Hublot watch boutique near the Marine Bay venue, Ecclestone expressed his delight at the event being a sold out.
The local Straits Times newspaper quoted as Ecclestone wanting the Singapore race to stay the same until 2030 "and then see what needs to be changed".
He said the GP is a jewel in F1's crown which keeps getting polished.
A few drivers however criticised the circuit, with Hamilton comment the turn-10 chicane as "ridiculous" and "the worst corner I've ever driven in Formula One".
While his team-mate and current World Champion, Jenson Button said, even after the rain had stopped long, there was "a lot of water coming up through the circuit".
The race days predictions says light drizzle which would be challenging for drivers with glare of the floodlights while driving at night.
