Five Key Pointers
- Given the potential for traffic and small mistakes around this tight and twisty circuit, it is important to hook up a clean lap in Qualifying to secure the best grid slot possible.
- With the addition of a fourth DRS zone between Turns 14-16, there is the potential for more overtaking.
- Singapore in recent years has often gone against the form book but McLaren and Ferrari will be favourites given their street circuit performances this season
- With potential for yellow or even red flags at the end of each qualifying segment amidst track evolution, banking a strong lap in Qualifying early could be key.
- Due to the tightness of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, there is a high risk of safety cars which could well play a role in determining the race outcome depending on time of deployment.
Last Time Out
Carlos Sainz survived a tense race-long battle with Norris to claim victory on F1’s visit to Singapore in 2023, whilst Lewis Hamilton finished third following a last-lap crash for his Mercedes teammate, George Russell.
Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll though withdrew from the race following a huge crash in Qualifying.
