Singapore GP 2026: Sprint Weekend Schedule, Weather, and How to Watch Live
Summary
Formula 1 wraps up its Asian triple-header with the Singapore Grand Prix Sprint weekend, featuring a thrilling race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
In the previous round in Malaysia, Max Verstappen clinched Red Bull's first victory of the season, while Kimi Antonelli maintained a commanding 84-point lead in the Drivers' Championship over George Russell, who faced a late retirement due to a power unit issue. Lewis Hamilton made headlines with a remarkable recovery, moving from 18th to the podium despite a strategy gamble that didn't pay off in challenging conditions.
The F1 Sprint format will see drivers face a demanding schedule, starting with just one practice session on Friday before jumping into Sprint Qualifying, which determines the grid for Saturday’s 100km Sprint. The Marina Bay track is notorious for its tight corners, making overtaking a challenge, with the best opportunities at Turn 7 and the back straight towards Turn 16.
Weather forecasts indicate no rain for Friday and Saturday, but thunderstorms are expected on Sunday, with temperatures ranging from 28C to 33C. Drivers will need to adapt to the high track temperatures and low-speed corners, which can heavily impact tyre performance.
