How to watch the F1 Singapore Grand Prix

Singapore Grand Prix circuit, lap count, tire compounds

Circuit: Marina Bay Circuit (3.07-mile, 19-turn temporary street course) in Singapore
Race length: 62 laps for 190.34 miles
Lap record: N/A (new configuration for 2023)
Tire compounds: C3 (Hard), C4 (Medium), C5 (Soft)
2022 winner: Sergio Perez, Red Bull-RBPT

New Marina Bay circuit layout

Since its debut in 2008 the Marina Bay circuit has seen its layout consistently tinkered with. The first major revision came in time for the 2012 race, which removed the ‘Singapore Sling’ — a tight chicane at Turn 10 that was unpopular among drivers. The second alteration came in 2015 with re-profiled corners 11-13, which includes the Anderson Bridge. Now they have eliminated four corners that used to take the cars in front of a 27,000-seat amphitheater facing a floating barge that serves as a performance venue.

The change has resulted in a more than seven-second lap time improvement in a simulator.

Top drivers and best bets for the Singapore Grand Prix

Verstappen enters the weekend as the massive favorite as he has all season, this time around with a -350 moneyline for the race win, according to BetMGM. Perez, the winner at Singapore a year ago, has the next-best odds at 8-to-1. Next up are Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton — Nos. 3-4 in the drivers’ standings, respectively — and Lando Norris in the resurgent McLaren at 18-to-1.

Best odds to win
Max Verstappen -350
Sergio Perez +800
Fernando Alonso +1800
Lewis Hamilton +1800
Lando Norris +1800

Yahoo Sports’ Nick Bromberg wrote earlier in the week on some bets he likes for Singapore, including a podium for Hamilton (+165) and a top-10 finish for Alpine’s Esteban Ocon (+110).

Singapore Grand Prix weather

It’s monsoon season in southeast Asia which means the air is wet, the temperatures are high and the chance of rain is perpetually likely. The forecast calls for more than a 51% chance of rain for all three days of on-track running including thunderstorms on race day. While F1 cars are more than equipped to run in the wet, thunderstorms would preempt the cars coming out of the paddock.
