Singapore will be hosting the Youth Olympic Games at the end of August at the same Marina Bay area as the F1 race. This has raised concerns that the island nation won't be able to prepare for the race before the F1 circus arrives for round 15 of the 2010 world championship.
But amidst these concerns, a Singaporean official has played down the possibility, Justin Chew, the Singapore Tourism Board's executive director of F1 projects told MediaCorp: "We do have enough time"
"Based on the timeline set by the Youth Olympic Games organisers, they will take at least two to three weeks to vacate the circuit completely.
"But we have already 'de-conflicted' it and whatever time they need to move out and what we need to put in the area have been worked out," he insisted.
The tight schedule means that fundamental structures for the street circuit such as lighting trusses are already being erected.
