Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025Formula 1

The lights are back on as Formula 1 heads back to its original night-racing venue. The Marina Bay circuit has had a few layout tweaks over the years, but still remains the hardest physical challenge for the drivers all season. A driver's fitness is trained to survive the 2 hours of heat, humidity, bumps, incessant cornering and closeness of walls that is experienced under the floodlights here. Often a sticking-point of a circuit for dominant cars, the layout seems pretty similar to Baku last week, where McLaren were particularly poor, compared to the seeming dominance of the MCL39. Piastri had a race to forget and Norris was unable to capitalise too much, while Max Verstappen's resurgence in the last few races must be starting to worry McLaren a bit. Who can tame the streets as we head to the SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX!

This is the race for Ferrari. For Charles at least.
McLaren should be better here, and the Red Bull doesn’t usually like the bumps. We could have a good race.

Yeah, expecting Ferrari to do well here, too.

I feel bad for Lewis. RIP, Roscoe. 😔

Hopefully no McLaren shenanigans.
