Singapore GP circuit and details
Drivers will face a different challenge in Singapore this season, with major adaptations made to the circuit in an attempt to make it faster than ever.
Turns 16 to 19 have been bypassed: the well known grandstand chicane, in which cars go underneath the watching fans, has been replaced with an almost 400 metre-long straight which begins at the exit of Turn 14.
Not only will this make the lap faster, but should give drivers more changes to overtake come race day.

The circuit has three DRS zones: one exiting Turn 5 onto the circuit’s first proper straight, the next from the run down to Turn 14 and the final one on the start/finish straight itself.
In the past, the circuit has been a success story for cars with high downforce and drivers with quick reactions, but it has also been at the centre of controversy – Nelson Piquet Jr crashing purposely in 2008 to allow fellow Renault team-mate Alonso to claim victory.
At 4.928km in length, the circuit is marginally smaller but will prompt a higher number of laps in the Grand Prix – jumping from 61 to 63.
As if a new layout to master wasn’t a big enough challenge, drivers will also have to compete against the weather, with scattered thunderstorms expected across Saturday and Sunday. All signs point to chaos.
