Friday: First and second practice.

Sunday: Singapore Grand Prix, 62 laps of the 4.94-kilometer (3.07-mile) Marina Bay Street Circuit. It starts at 8 p.m. local time (8 a.m. ET / 1200 GMT).
F1 drivers face one of their toughest physical tests of the year on the streets of Singapore. The heat and humidity add an extra dimension to this night race under floodlights. It’s a twisty circuit with barriers close to the track, so crashes are common and the safety car can shake up the race. Lando Norris won there for McLaren last year. Singapore is the only track on this year’s schedule where Max Verstappen has never won.
Verstappen catapulted himself back into the F1 title fight with a dominant win from pole at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as McLaren had its worst race of the year. Oscar Piastri crashed out on the first lap but his standing lead was only trimmed from 31 points to 25 because teammate Lando Norris finished seventh. George Russell took second for Mercedes despite battling illness all week and Carlos Sainz, Jr. was third for Williams’ first podium since 2021.

1 – Singapore is the only one of the 24 tracks on this season’s schedule where Max Verstappen hasn’t won a race.
3 – Carlos Sainz, Jr.’s third place for Williams makes him only the second driver in F1 history to finish on the podium for McLaren, Ferrari and Williams, three of the sport’s most storied teams.
6 – After Liam Lawson was fifth and Yuki Tsunoda sixth in Azerbaijan, 19 different drivers have finished in the top six this season. The only exceptions are Franco Colapinto and Jack Doohan, who have no points from their partial seasons with Alpine.
“It looks like a little bit worse weather than what we’ve had over the last few years, but excited. It’s one of my favourite tracks of the season, so happy to get going.” – Lando Norris.
“When you’re racing in 90% humidity and the cockpits are getting on for 60 degrees (Celsius), it’s a bit of a sauna inside the car. So I think we all welcome it.” – George Russell supports cooling vests for drivers.
