Formula 1 rolls into the Marina Bay Street Circuit for Round 17 of the 2026 season, marking the final stop in a demanding triple header. The Singapore Grand Prix brings its usual mix of brutal humidity and intense night racing, with temperatures expected to reach 32 Celsius. While Friday and Saturday carry a chance of rain that could throw a wrench into the running, Sunday's Grand Prix currently looks dry.
This weekend serves up the final Sprint of the season, which means the grid faces a compressed schedule with just a single one-hour Free Practice session starting at 1630 local time on Friday, 9 October. Sprint Qualifying follows right after at 2030. Saturday, 10 October kicks off with the Sprint itself at 1700, leading straight into Qualifying under the lights at 2100. Finally, the main event gets underway at 2000 on Sunday, 11 October.
