Singapore Grand Prix: Event Information

Event Preview

The Marina Bay Street Circuit forms the back drop of one of the most challenging races on the Formula 1 schedule at the start of October. A grueling race will stand ahead of the drivers, and it could yet be pivotal in the race for the Drivers’ Championship.

A second race weekend on the bounce to forget for McLaren occurred in Azerbaijan, with championship leader Oscar Piastri crashing out on the first lap. However, teammate Lando Norris couldn’t make in roads on the leaderboard after finishing only seventh.

Those results mean that Piastri’s championship advantage now stands at 25 points. However, the eyes are quickly drawn to four-time world champion Max Verstappen.

The Dutchman has been back to his very best in recent weeks, winning back-to-back races in Italy and Azerbaijan. Verstappen sits 44 points behind Norris, but his form ensures that he is a direct championship contender once again.

George Russell battled well to take second in Baku, while there was a memorable podium for Williams and Carlos Sainz. His pace on the street circuit in Azerbaijan bodes well for his chances in Singapore.

Singapore Grand Prix Picks

Verstappen’s charge in the second half of the season deserves huge respect. The Dutchman was comfortable on the streets in Baku last time out, and a repeat success could ensure that pressure is put on the McLaren duo at a crucial period of the season.
