What time are the practice sessions for the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix?
The 2023 Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit will take place on Sunday, September 17, at 13:00 BST. Two practice sessions will take place on Friday at 10:30am BST and a second at 14:00 BST. It will be the 15th race in the 2023 Formula 1 season and is the first event after the European season. It's always humid when F1 are in Singapore, so expect a tough challenge for the drivers.
Verstappen and Red Bull Racing will be the favourites going into the race weekend because of their long streak of consecutive wins, though Verstappen hasn't won the Singapore Grand Prix before. The Dutchman already has a huge lead in the World Championship, and it's already a question of when rather than if. Meanwhile, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin and even McLaren will push to try and topple Red Bull's record run of wins.
When will the drivers be in action?
The Singapore Grand Prix weekend will see the traditional format of Formula 1. That means three practice sessions will be completed on Friday and Saturday. Qualifying will occur on Saturday afternoon, and the race will occur on Sunday, September 17, at 20:00 local time (13:00 BST).
