RACE INTO THE NIGHT
As Formula 1® returns to Marina Bay, the world’s leading drivers will once again take on the challenge of racing at night through the streets of Singapore.
And there’s even more at stake in 2026. For the first time, the Singapore Grand Prix will feature an F1 Sprint, adding another race to an already demanding weekend.
Who will own the night as the battle for the FIA Formula One World Championship™ heats up?
Racing under the lights
Singapore made history in 2008 as Formula 1®’s first night race. The floodlit Marina Bay Street Circuit and spectacular city skyline have since made it one of the championship’s most distinctive events.
More racing. More at stake.
The Singapore Grand Prix will host an F1 Sprint for the first time in 2026. With Sprint Qualifying on Friday and the Sprint on Saturday, there’s competitive action across all three days of the race weekend.
No room for error
Marina Bay’s tight streets and unforgiving barriers leave little margin for mistakes. Heavy braking zones, technical sections and limited overtaking opportunities make precision and track position particularly important.
A race of endurance
Racing after dark doesn’t mean escaping Singapore’s tropical conditions. High heat and humidity, combined with the physical demands of a street circuit, make this one of the toughest races of the season for drivers.
Marina Bay is a circuit that rewards precision. Its combination of tight corners, heavy braking zones and unforgiving barriers means there is little room for error — and opportunities to overtake have to be taken when they appear.
4.927 KM · 62 LAPS · 19 TURNS · 305.337 KM
TURNS 1–3
Opening-lap battleground
Heavy braking into the opening complex creates an early opportunity to attack, particularly on the first lap.
TURN 7
Prime overtaking opportunity
One of Marina Bay’s key braking zones, where drivers can attack after building speed on the approach.
TURNS 16–19
The final test
A technical sequence towards the end of the lap where rhythm and precision are crucial to carrying speed through the final sector.
Watch the braking zones. Passing opportunities can be limited around Marina Bay, making the major braking zones particularly important. Track position and a well-timed move can make all the difference.
The title fight heads to Singapore. With the championship entering its closing stages, every point matters as the leading drivers and teams battle for position. See how the championship stands heading towards the Singapore Grand Prix.
