The Singapore street lights are upon us as a weekend of racing underneath the night sky awaits for our annual trip to the equatorial city-state.
It's all long-haul trips from here as the season's final act gets into full swing and we fight for our P5 in the championship.
Get set for Round 18 with these five things to know about Singapore.
Who Turned Out the Lights?
We haven't had a race at night since way back at Jeddah in April, but the FW47 will dazzle under the lights again in Singapore.
The 2025 season sees us duelling against our competitors in the dark at a quarter of the races; Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
It's a far cry from years gone by, where the concept of a night race was pure fantasy. Singapore proved the concept as viable with the first Grand Prix under the stars back in 2008, paving the way for others to follow suit.
Nico Rosberg took his Williams FW30 to the podium in that controversial race, and F1 has returned every year outside of the COVID-affected seasons.
The City Block
F1 Academy is making its penultimate stop at Singapore, and a track where our representative, Lia Block, has previously excelled.
Lia heads to the Marina Bay Circuit after securing her first single-seater podium last time out at Zandvoort and should be encouraged at a return to Singapore.
Last year saw Lia's best weekend in the series, picking up a brace of P4 finishes to collect 24 points from a single round.
Misfortune has hit our American this year, and she'll be hoping to build on her Dutch P2 with more point-scoring finishes in the F1 Academy's final four races in Singapore and Las Vegas.

Hot and Humid
If "tight and twisty" defines Monaco, then "hot and humid" is the Singapore equivalent for each Grand Prix here.
Prepare to hear about the high humidity levels over the weekend as drivers and teams contend with the oppressive heat.
Often billed as the most physically challenging race in the season, ice baths and cooling vests always feature for the teams' pilots to keep their cool.
With high heat and humidity also comes thunderstorms, and we've had many Singapore GPs with monsoons affecting the race.
Will it rain this weekend? And just how hot will it feel on the streets? Our 2025 Singapore GP Weather Watch has all the information you need.
Singapore in the Sixties
Though the Singapore Grand Prix only debuted in 2008, racing in the city has a long past that even predates the country.
Still a street circuit, Thomson Road, much further north than Marina Bay, hosted the Grand Prix of Singapore and Malaysia Grand Prix between 1961 and 1973.
Featuring four-wheel and two-wheel races, the event saw a variety of cars entering. Early races were won by road cars like the Aston Martin DB3S and the Jaguar E-Type, before open-wheelers such as the Lotus 22 and Brabham BT30 took over.
Three-time winner, Graeme Lawrence, believed the circuit's mixture of monsoon drains, oil trails from diesel-powered buses, narrow track, and little run-off made it one of the most dangerous tracks in the world.
After multiple deaths over the years, the race was eventually cancelled on safety grounds, with the 1973 edition the last race until F1's maiden Grand Prix in 2008.
