Circuit
The race takes place over 62 laps of the 4.927-kilometre Marina Bay Street Circuit. The official timetable is subject to change.
The Marina Bay Circuit arrived on the scene in 2008 with the city skyline as its backdrop, hosting the first night-time race in Formula 1 history. After a 2023 layout change the lap runs 19 corners over 4.927 kilometres, and the bumpy street surface plus humidity make it one of the most physically demanding races on the calendar.
