F1 LIVE | Follow FP1 for the Singapore Grand Prix

The first free practice for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix is about to get underway. The Formula 1 cars will race around the Marina Bay Circuit on Friday for 60 minutes of practice. During this session, we will get the first indication of the performance levels between the top teams including McLaren and Red Bull, as the title battle continues to hot up. Will Lando Norris be in a position to cut his gap to Max Verstappen once more after doing so in Baku? Follow the liveblog to find out.

After a hectic Grand Pri in Baku last time out, there will be a lot to watch out for. McLaren took the lead in the constructors' championship thanks to Oscar Piastri's win. And, despite starting in P15, Lando Norris was able to cut the deficit to Max Verstappen to 59 points in the drivers' championship. However, lots of talk has been had about McLaren and their 'flexi-wing' on the rear of the car, so attention will be on that too.

Red Bull will be looking to retake the lead in the constructors' championship, but last year's Singapore Grand Prix was one to forget, so they will be hoping for major improvements. Ferrari and Mercedes will also be looking to find some pace, especially the Prancing Horse, who have had a lot of success on the street circuits this year, including a dominant win for Charles Leclerc at Monaco.
