Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024Formula 1

The original night race is upon us, as the Marina Bay circuit which hosted the first Formula 1 race fully under lights in 2008 is in its second season with the grandstand chicanes removed to make a longer straight. The proper Street Circuit is one of the most physically demanding and sapping races on the calendar for the drivers with the heat, humidity and relentless nature of the corners, bumps and walls. The grid is incredibly competitive at the moment, with Max Verstappen still favourite for the title due to his lead and everyone else squabbling over who gets the points at race weekends. Will any of the contenders start to mount a run of wins to close the gap? We will find out at the Singapore Grand Prix!

Anyone in the mood for Denim Disaster Ricciardo?

What I absolutely love on the social media channels is they're putting up the Ferrari 2017 crash and some people quote the "factual version of events" tweet that Ferrari put out for a laugh. A lot of people not understanding where it came from and starting arguments.

Denim VCARB

They should have put the zipper on the nose instead of the side, and confused people into thinking it was a BAR tribute livery.

We only have FP1 but I think it will be another F1 race weekend where we see a close battle between the McLaren and Ferrari. Not sure if we see a Red Bull driver on the podium this Sunday.

Ferrari looking quick. How much that both McLarens lose out to a Ferrari in the championship by a single point?
