The 2024 Formula One season swings from the Caucasus Mountains to Southeast Asia this week as teams descend for one of the season's most popular and dynamic races in the shape of the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Drivers return to the city-state that gave the sport its first night race, and the event remains popular even with the flurry of variations that have followed. It offers a challenging course that weaves around the edge of the Downtown Core.
It comes after a seismic race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix where Oscar Piastri’s win for McLaren saw them overhaul Red Bull in the World Constructors’ Championship, and team-mate Lando Norris further cut the gap on Max Verstappen’s push for a fourth world title.
That sets up this race nicely, with the Briton just 59 points behind the Dutchman, with seven grand prix events left for him to overhaul his rival - but one slip-up likely sees the latter headed for history once again as he continues to take aim at the seven crowns of Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.
With plenty of other twists and turns expected over this last third of the campaign, there will be a lot at stake for many competitors further down the order, so how can you watch it all unfold? Allow GOAL to guide you through where to watch the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and race.
