Circuit
Marina Bay Street Circuit
Singapore
The Marina Bay circuit is a tight, bumpy street track run at night under lights. A long lap with a great many corners and walls close throughout makes it one of the most physically gruelling races of the year, fought out in heat and humidity that sap the driver over a long, concentration-heavy distance. The bumps and close barriers punish the slightest lapse in placement.
Winding through the streets of Singapore past the bay and the floodlit city skyline, it is a spectacle as much as a race. Stamina and unbroken concentration matter as much as outright pace, because a single mistake against the barriers can undo an entire evening's work.

- “No further action from the stewards. As a team, we can see Lando has to avoid Verstappen, so we won't take any action during the race. We can review further afterwards. Mate, that's not fair. I'm sorry, that's not fair. Oscar, we'll have the opportunity to review together afterwards. Focus on this race, mate. We can still have good results here. Yeah, but if he has to avoid another car by crashing into his teammate, then that's a pretty **** job of avoiding.”Oscar PIASTRI · 2025 Race
