Max Verstappen On Verge Of Second World Title As Formula One Returns To Singapore

Red Bull's dominant Max Verstappen can clinch a second world championship when the Singapore Grand Prix returns this weekend after a three-year absence because of Covid. The flying Dutchman has a mathematical chance to seal back-to-back world titles under lights around the spectacular and demanding Marina Bay street circuit. To do so, the 24-year-old must win the race -- something he has never done in Singapore -- and needs his closest rivals to falter badly.

1 600 floodlights and a stunning backdrop - F1's original night race returns after hiatus

Singapore first hosted a Formula 1 race in 2008. That year, 1 600 custom floodlights were positioned around the 5.063km street circuit, making the track four times brighter than a rugby game at your favourite stadium. It was impressive and continued to impress over the next 11 years.

Formula 1 confirms it will double number of sprints to 6 in 2023

Formula 1 will stage six sprint races in 2023, double the number of the format that has proved a popular addition to Grand Prix weekends in the past two seasons.

Formula One To Double Number Of Sprints To Six In 2023

Formula One will stage six sprint races in 2023, double the number of the format that has proved a popular addition to grand prix weekends in the past two seasons. Which circuits will host the 100 kilometre dash held on the Saturday have yet to be determined, F1 said on Tuesday. Silverstone, Monza and Interlagos hosted sprints when they first appeared on the calendar last year, with Imola and Austria's Red Bull Ring circuit followed by Interlagos again chosen this term. "Sprint sessions provide an exciting dynamic to the race weekend format and have proven to be popular over the past two seasons," said Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, the sport's governing body.
