How to follow the Singapore Grand Prix on the BBC

The 2024 Formula 1 season continues with the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit from 20-23 September.

Last time out in Azerbaijan, Oscar Piastri sealed his second victory of the campaign, with Lando Norris finishing fourth, to hand McLaren the lead of the constructors’ championship over Red Bull.

Max Verstappen remains in control of the drivers’ title, but after coming fifth in Baku, his advantage now stands at 59 points from Norris.

What is the Singapore GP weather forecast?

The early forecast suggest some rain could hit the Marina Bay Street Circuit at different points throughout the weekend.

Scattered thundershowers and a gentle breeze is predicted for all three days, although any showers could be clear by the time the track action gets under way.

That’s because Singapore is a night event, with Saturday’s qualifying taking place at 9pm local time (14:00 BST) and the following day’s 62-lap race starting 8pm local (13:00 BST).
