What time is the 2024 Singapore GP? | All start times for Marina Bay F1 weekend
09/17/2024 03:15 PM
The 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix is set to unfold over 62 laps of the 4.94-kilometre Marina Bay Street Circuit. Known for its challenging layout and dramatic night-time setting, the Marina Bay Street Circuit winds through the heart of Singapore, featuring a combination of tight corners, fast straights, and several heavy braking zones. The circuit, lit by thousands of floodlights, provides a spectacular backdrop against the city’s skyline, making it one of the most visually stunning and demanding tracks on the F1 calendar.
The Singapore Grand Prix is renowned for its unique atmosphere and grueling conditions. The race often sees high humidity and temperatures that test the endurance of both drivers and their machinery. Since its inception in 2008, the Singapore GP has delivered memorable moments, from dramatic crashes to strategic masterstrokes, thanks to its combination of slow-speed corners and short straights which demand precision and concentration from the drivers.
Unlike some of the recent additions to the calendar that feature the Sprint format, the Singapore Grand Prix weekend will adhere to the traditional format, consisting of three practice sessions, qualifying, and the main race on Sunday. This format allows teams to fine-tune their setups and strategies over three days, ensuring they are fully prepared for the rigors of the race.
The schedule for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix weekend begins on Friday, September 20, with two practice sessions, giving teams the initial opportunity to gather data and adjust their cars to the circuit’s demands, providing a crucial window for teams to run in conditions similar to those expected during the race.
