Race
Welcome to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, set against the spectacular Singaporean skyline, and host to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
As the first night race in Formula 1 history, this event offered something special from its very first race and was a precursor of F1's day-or-night future.
The circuit winds through the city-state's streets, passing by landmark after landmark through a mix of high-speed sections, tight corners, and technical challenges — all with the threat of a tropical storm hitting at any time.
Circuit Overview:
The Marina Bay Street Circuit stretches over 4.940 km (3.070 miles) with a reduced 19 turns after last year's tweaks in the final sector but is still a long track that demands concentration under the bright lights.
Sector 1 contains the end of the start-finish straight's DRS zone and another zone on the exit of Turn 5 and into Turn 7 before the second sector's technical section takes over.
The third sector begins with the last overtaking spot on the track, with the heavy braking zone into Turn 14 before wrapping around the Singapore Flyer, the city's observation wheel, to conclude the lap.

So close, but so far...
After Alex's misfortune early in the race, Franco put up a great fight to stay in the running for points. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be – but we'll be back with full focus on the final six races of the season.
A full set of reactions, galleries and a report to come...
22 Sep 2024
Franco to James
"Yeah, James agreed. I could keep up with them, with Red Bull, with Haas and Aston, so... it's promising. I wasn't feeling well to fight, but yeah, let's keep building up.
"I had a lot of stomach pain, I think it's the drink, but a lot of stomach pain. I don't know if it's the sugar or something, but yeah, quite a painful stomach ache."

James to Franco
"Franco, you did a fantastic race. This is one of the toughest races you have ever done and you were there, a second from the points. We win together, we lose together. I think we had a car this weekend that if we got everything right, there were points available. But I can tell you one thing, I'm really excited by these last six races together. There's a fast car and so much potential."

PIT to Franco
"Okay, that's the flag. That's the flag. That was a tough one. That was a tough one. You made it to the circuit.
"I couldn't speak, but it's not that I didn't want to, it was just to save energy." Franco replies.
"I know. I know. It's good learning. It's good learning. It's building you up. OK? It's a very tough race. Probably the toughest of your life so far."

Pushing to the end
This is a really impressive drive from Franco. But it may be that points elude him this time...

Lando goes through
Lando goes through and costs Franco some time. Can he build it back for the final few laps?
Lap 58/62
22 Sep 2024
Lando behind 🟠
Blue flags will arrive shortly. The leader is coming up behind. Could that be the curveball we need?
