Singapore Grand PrixFormula 1 · Round 16 of 23
- Formula 1 brings sprint racing to Marina Bay for the first time, compressing practice, sprint qualifying and two races into three nights under the lights.
- Singapore’s first-ever F1 sprint puts points on the table before Sunday.
- Only one practice session comes before sprint qualifying, so setup errors carry through the weekend.
- Sunday remains the full 62-lap Grand Prix on the Marina Bay street circuit.
- It's a teammate title fight: Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell are 1-2 for Mercedes, separated by 84 points with 7 of 23 rounds remaining.
- Andrea Kimi Antonelli has won 8 of 16 races — the field is chasing one car.
- Andrea Kimi Antonelli stretched the lead from 66 to 84 points last time out — the momentum is all one way.
- Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) sits third, 106 points back — needing wins, not podiums, from here.
- Saturday's sprint pays championship points before the main event — no coasting through the weekend.
- US coverage: Apple TV.
- Round 17 of 23.
