The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most atmospheric F1 events of the year. The race has always been held on the 5.065 km long Marina Bay circuit and it has become famous mainly for always being run at night: starting at 8pm local time, the track lit as bright as day with floodlights. Marina Bay is a street circuit with many of the usual right angle bends and few straight sections. Brakes get a really hard time because it is hard to cool them, partly because even though the race is run at night, it is always very hot, making life hard on cars and drivers. The Safety Car usually has to put in an appearance because there are very few run off areas. This is also why the race often runs up to the regulation time limit of two hours.
Scuderia Ferrari has won here three times, with Fernando Alonso in 2010 and two times with Sebastian Vettel, in 2015 and 2019. The 2019 event was also the most recent Singapore Grand Prix, given the fact that the 2020 and 2021 races were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also Scuderia Ferrari’s last win and last 1-2 finish until the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, as well as Sebastian Vettel’s last win with the Maranello team (and the most recent win).
