Turn 1:
The run to Turn 1 at Marina Bay Street Circuit has heavy braking and is the most obvious part of the track to make up positions. The snaking opening complex of corners is always lively at the start of the race.

The original night race.
The original night race.
For the first time, Audi Revolut F1® Team is set to race under floodlights in the original Formula 1® night race: the Singapore Grand Prix.
For the final stop of the latest triple header, Audi Revolut F1® Team is preparing to go night racing for the first time. The first Grand Prix of the season to take place under floodlights, the Singapore Grand Prix follows on from two action-packed races in Azerbaijan and Malaysia, where the team was unlucky to narrowly miss out on points finishes.
Nevertheless, the R26 is showing signs of progress with its most recent upgrades, with Gabi returning to Q3 in Sepang and Nico finishing 11th in each of the last two races. With the Singapore Grand Prix hosting the sixth and final Sprint round of the year, it’s straight into important on-track running as the pit lane opens at Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Night racing since 2008.
When Singapore first arrived on the Formula 1 calendar, it did so with a bang. Being the sport’s first-ever night race, the all-new Singapore Grand Prix was always going to hit the headlines when it was staged for the first time in 2008. The events of that race made sure it was one of Formula 1’s most talked about Grands Prix ever.
Each October, after months of preparations – including the installation of thousands of light projectors around the circuit – Formula 1 takes over one of the world’s most densely-populated cities for a night race like no other. Now in its 17th edition, complete with a trackside festival and a race week vibe that emanates throughout the city, the original night race is arguably still the best.
The heat is on… again.
Straight off the back of a physically demanding race weekend in Malaysia, there’s no let up as F1® heads to Singapore for its most demanding race weekend of the year. With high humidity, close walls, soaring cockpit temperatures and races which often near the two-hour mark, the Singapore Grand Prix is the ultimate test of driver fitness.
And the heat is on in more ways than one at Marina Bay. This year’s Singapore Grand Prix has a slightly different flavour. As well as the traditional night racing, the fact that this will be a Sprint event means that F1® will race before sunset in Singapore for the first time.
While Sprint Qualifying, Grand Prix Qualifying and the Grand Prix itself will take place at night, the only free practice session of the weekend and the Sprint race will take place in conditions which will be largely unrepresentative of the rest of the weekend. It is an event of two halves, which will surely add a further layer of pressure.

Allan McNish
"It comes as no surprise that the fight to be at the top of the midfield is as close as ever.
Allan McNish
"We have seen some of the rivals farther back make steps forward, and now it’s a big battle at every race. We have faced challenges in both Baku and Sepang, missing out on points the final lap on both occasions, and that goes to show you have to deliver and execute a perfect weekend if you want to come away with something. The important thing now is to keep pushing and find that little extra in Singapore to get ourselves back into the points. We are confident in our team, and we know we can be competitive everywhere. With this being a Sprint event, it’ll be crucial to get things right from the very beginning. It’s been a long, demanding three weeks for everyone across the team, so we are looking forward to finishing the triple-header with a strong result.”

"Singapore always has a unique buzz around it."
Nico Hulkenberg
"It's one of the highlights on the calendar and a big weekend for Audi this year with the special livery, race suits and everything the team has going on across the city. There's a great energy around the whole week, and hopefully we can give everyone something to cheer about on track as well."
"I've always liked Sprint weekends because they get straight to the point, and I enjoy that. We've had a few encouraging moments over the last couple of races, but we also know there's still work to do. Hopefully we can put together a solid weekend and make the most of what we've got."

Gabriel Bortoleto
"The last couple of races haven’t given us the results we wanted (...)
Gabriel Bortoleto
(...) but there were still some positives to take with us. Our aim is to carry what we learned into Singapore and have a solid weekend. It’s a quite unique place, so it’s nice to be back. We’ve been consistently around the fight for points recently, so we’ll try to put everything together and give ourselves another chance in Saturday’s Sprint and again in the race on Sunday. I’m ready to get back in the car and keep pushing.”
Audi Revolut F1® Team heads to Singapore for the third and final leg of the Asian triple-header. Racing under the lights at Marina Bay, the weekend brings Formula One to one of the most unique stops on the calendar, in the final Sprint event of the season. After coming close to the points in both Baku and Sepang, the team will be working hard to make the step back into the top ten. Away from the track, a race-week programme spanning food, fashion, community sport, retail, entertainment and public viewing will offer fans across Singapore new ways to connect with the team throughout the weekend in some of the city’s most iconic locations.
Where the action is at.
A lap of Marina Bay Street Circuit is demanding. With walls just centimetres away and all the bumps of roads which are used to everyday city life, mastering this track requires traction, bravery on the brakes and a cool head.
Turn 1:
Turn 7:
It’s easy for the car to twitch under braking heading into the 90-degree Turn 7. Lunges down the inside can be made here – but with relatively low grip off the racing line, caution is needed. Drivers can soon find themselves in the run-off area if they are too optimistic.
Turn 14:
Turn 14: Watch out for lock-ups at Turn 14. After building up speed over the Esplanade Bridge, this is another tight and heavy braking zone into a 90-degree turn.
Turn 16:
The circuit’s penultimate couple of corners can be an unlikely but effective place to get overtakes done. Since the track’s redesign in 2023, Turn 16 has become a popular passing point.
Lighting up the city.
Audi Revolut F1® Team is set to dazzle under the lights of Singapore. Revealed earlier this week, the team has a special, one-off colour scheme for the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, which will see the R26 race with a Peranakan-inspired, light blue livery.
While Gabi finished 16th on his debut outing here last year, Nico’s 11th place finish in 2025 ended his streak of six consecutive points-scoring appearances at Marina Bay. With recent finishes on the fringes of the points, the battle for a top ten finish in Singapore is on.
