The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most-awaited races in the Formula 1 calendar each year. It takes place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and was the inaugural night race and first street circuit in Asia for F1 races. The Singapore GP 2022 is scheduled to take place from 30 September to 2 October, as F1 action resumes after a week-long break.
The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a 5.063 km long track in a harbourside location similar in style to the Circuit de Monaco and the Valencia Street Circuit. The circuit holds a unique record of having at least one safety car appearance in every race to date. It is an FIA Grade I licensed circuit with a crowd capacity of 90,000.
Sebastian Vettel is the most successful driver in the history of the Singapore Grand Prix with a record five wins to his name. Ferrari and Mercedes are the joint most successful constructors with four wins each. Interestingly, Kevin Magnussen’s lap timing of 1:41.905, while driving a Haas VF-18 in the 2018 Singapore Grand Prix is the official race lap record at this GP.

Max Verstappen leads the standings with 335 points followed by Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who occupies the second spot with 219 points while Sergio Perez lies in the third spot with 210 points – ahead of George Russell, Carlos Sainz, and Lewis Hamilton.
