Singapore GP: Sprint weekend schedule and how to watch

Formula 1 concludes its Asian triple-header with a Sprint weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix. A dramatic race in Malaysia last time out saw Max Verstappen secure Red Bull's first victory of the season, while Kimi Antonelli extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 84 points over George Russell, who was forced to retire late on with a power unit issue.

Lewis Hamilton produced an impressive recovery drive, charging from 18th to the podium after a strategy gamble failed to pay off in the mixed conditions. The Ferrari driver will be confident of another strong result at the next round in Singapore, where the tight, twisty streets are likely to suit his strengths.

That is followed by a gruelling race on Sunday, with the circuit's low average speed meaning the Grand Prix can run close to the two-hour time limit. The challenge will be even greater this year, with just one practice session on Friday before the drivers head straight into Sprint Qualifying, which will set the grid for Saturday's 100km Sprint.

Singapore GP track - Marina Bay Street CircuitThe Marina Bay Street Circuit is one of the toughest on the calendar due to the close proximity of the barriers and the series of 90 degree corners and chicanes. Overtaking is difficult but the best place to make a move is into the left hander at Turn 7 or the back straight towards Turn 16.

Due to the low-speed corners and reliance on traction, plus the high track temperatures, the tyres get punished which opens up strategy options. Singapore GP weatherThere is currently no rain on the forecast for Friday and Saturday's track action in Singapore but thunderstorms are predicted for the Grand Prix on Sunday, with temperatures between 28C and 33C throughout the week.

When it does rain, it is usually torrential - as proven at the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix which was delayed due to the conditions.
