The F1 circus will return to host the annual Singapore Grand Prix next weekend to mark the start of the flyaway races for the end of the 2025 season. The original night race of the sport is arguably one of the most popular races of the season.
The Singapore Grand Prix was initially introduced to the F1 calendar in 2008 and has been a mainstay ever since, and has not been held just twice, in 2020 and 2021, due to Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
Heading into the 2025 Singapore GP, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has set the season alight with his back-to-back victories in Monza and Baku. His triumphs have piqued the curiosity of rivals and fans alike in their anticipation to see if he can mount on a late-season charge in the title race.

McLaren boss determined to stop Max Verstappen ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella stated that he was hopeful that they as a team could bounce back in the hot and humid conditions in Singapore, but believed that Red Bull driver Max Verstappen would be a contender as well.
Speaking with Autosport, the Italian engineer reflected and said:
"We have already seen in Monza that they improved, because the way they won Monza was something more, in our assessment, than simply a car that adapts well at low drag. They were fast in the corners, medium speed and low speed corners, fast in the straights, and we know that Max, when he has a competitive car, can deliver strong weekends.
"We will see now in Singapore, which should be more of one in which we should perform well. Hopefully, we can go back to fighting for victories, and then we will see how the rest of the championship will unfold. But definitely, Max is in contention. We knew it, and we got confirmation."
Max Verstappen has never won the Singapore Grand Prix in his career, while McLaren triumphed in the street race last year.
