The upcoming Formula 1 event on everyone's radar is none other than the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix, set to take place at the dazzling Marina Bay Street Circuit from 15 - 17 September. As the 15th race in the Formula 1 calendar, it marks a significant transition, serving as the inaugural stop after the conclusion of the thrilling European season.
The highly anticipated 2023 Singapore Grand Prix promises an adrenaline-packed spectacle. Of all the F1 circuits, Marina Bay’s 3-mile loop has the second most corners, with at least one safety car deployed in every race to date.
The weekend will kick off with two free practice sessions on Friday, leading up to one final intense 60-minute practice session on Saturday. Following this, the heat will intensify as the contenders battle it out in the qualifying rounds. Circle your calendars for the main event, the Singapore Grand Prix, which will be held on Sunday, September 17.
After the Singapore spectacle concludes, the Formula 1 excitement doesn't stop. The racing circuit stays in Asia, with a relatively short hop over to Japan before the eagerly anticipated Qatar Grand Prix in October.
