Singapore GP hosts F1’s final sprint weekend of 2026

Formula 1’s sprint calendar ends at Marina Bay from 9–11 October. The Singapore Grand Prix is round 17 and the season’s sixth and final sprint event.

The FIA has declared a Heat Hazard for both Saturday’s sprint and Sunday’s Grand Prix after the official weather service forecast a heat index above 31°C at some point during the Sprint or Race.

All times are BST: first practice starts Friday at 09:30, followed by sprint qualifying at 13:30. Its three sessions last 12, 10 and eight minutes and set the sprint grid; only the top eight finishers score points. Saturday’s sprint starts at 10:00, with Grand Prix qualifying at 14:00. The main race starts Sunday at 13:00 BST (20:00 local time).

Thundery showers are forecast for Saturday and Sunday daytime, but conditions should dry before the night-time action. Highs at Marina Bay are forecast to reach 33°C across the three days of track activity.
