MARINA BAY STREET CIRCUIT TRACK GUIDE
The Marina Bay Circuit holds one of Formula 1’s most spectacular weekends as the cars glisten under the streetlights in Singapore, the home of the sport’s original night race.
Singapore was one of two new street tracks introduced as part of the 2008 Formula One season. Whereas Valencia was ditched from the calendar after the 2012 event, Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore remains on the calendar and the challenge of competing here is much loved by drivers, teams and fans alike.
The Marina Bay Circuit passes by many of Singapore’s landmarks such as the Fullerton Hotel, the Anderson Bridge and, of course, the striking Singapore Flyer which opened in the same year as the first Grand Prix here. The track has numerous unique features, including the fact that it is the only track which goes under a section of grandstand – between Turns 18 and 19. The corners are referred to by number here, though some do have names. Turn 1 is named ‘Sheares’ and Turn 7 is named ‘Memorial’. The names were given to the corners as part of a local competition in March 2009, but they are rarely used.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME AT THE SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX?
Lando Norris dominated the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix weekend as Daniel Ricciardo bid farewell to Formula 1.
While a lizard on track resulted in a red flag period in final practice, there was the usual barrier scraping and wall bumping at Marina Bay Street Circuit as the drivers prepared for qualifying. Sergio Perez was eliminated in Q2, while Carlos Sainz crashed out in Q3. Lando Norris kept it clean to secure pole position.
Norris started with Verstappen alongside him on the front row and the two Mercedes locking out the second row. There was plenty of action at Turn 1 with multiple drivers running off track and Franco Colapinto making up three positions from where he started.
Out front, Norris stayed ahead and would do so for the rest of the race, leading every lap for the first time in his career. That was despite a number of close calls for the British driver, with a deep moment on Lap 29 very nearly costing him his front wing and a wall tap on Lap 45 just inches from putting him out of the race.
Verstappen lost position to Charles Leclerc at the pit exit but would regain it from the Ferrari driver on Lap 31, at the same point that Norris made his pit stop. Norris’ team-mate Oscar Piastri pitted later in the race, on Lap 39, hopeful that the tyre offset would allow him to pass both Mercedes drivers ahead for the final position on the podium.
Piastri passed Lewis Hamilton for fourth one lap after his pit stop and by Lap 45 was on George Russell’s tail, subsequently securing third position. Kevin Magnussen scraped the wall, causing a puncture for the Haas driver which ultimately put him out of the race.
Norris won with a 21 second advantage over Verstappen. Piastri completed the podium. Ahead of the on-track action, rumours swirled in the paddock that the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix was to be Daniel Ricciardo’s last in Formula 1. It turned out to be so. On the final lap of the race, Ricciardo secured the fastest lap.
