Praise for Singapore's dazzling F1 debut

"It feels like a street circuit... I think they did a tremendous job, so I feel everyone deserves a real pat on the back because it is really impressive." - Lewis Hamilton, as told to Bleacher Report

"The build-up to the first night-time Formula One was the most excitement I've had with racing cars... To think
night life in Singapore used to peter out with a gin sling at the Raffles Hotel." - Jasper Gerard, The Telegraph

"Atmospherically probably the best pictures ever seen in F1. The scenery - it's unreal, it's like a movie. It's a big, big step forward for Formula One."  -Norbert Haug, motorsport vice-president for McLaren's co-owners Mercedes-Benz, as told to Reuters

"I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Singaporean Government and Bernie Ecclestone, and everyone else who has made this event possible. It's a fantastic circuit." - McLaren boss Ron Dennis, as told to iTV

"The style of the place is unique. This was a good start to what will become the most exceptional race weekend of the year." - Willy Rampf, Team Technical Director of BMW-Sauber, as told to Reuters

"There are few venues that do more for F1 than the sport does for them - Monaco is the only obvious example, but Singapore looks set to join it... The challenge now will be for other venues to show F1 how they can move it forward." -James Allen, Financial Times
