Formula 1 will return to Singapore GP after two years of break due to the Covid-19 pandemic at the Marina Bay street circuit.
After two weeks of break from racing, drivers will return to track at the Singapore GP this weekend. Marina Bay street circuit has been off the F1 calendar for the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
History shows that the racing at this particular track always turns out to be eventful and each of its 61 laps spread across the 5.063 km circuit is exciting.
However, this season, the F1 action could get even more eventful as heavy rain is predicted for the weekend.
Going into the 2022 Singapore GP, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen will look forward to increasing his lead in the standings and if everything works out in his favour he might even be able to clinch the 2022 title this weekend itself.
Meanwhile, his rival Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc would want to close the gap to the Dutchman to maintain his position at P2 as Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez chases with only nine points difference in P3.
Furthermore, Mercedes who has had a tough year this season with the W13 would aim to clinch their first win at the Singapore GP.
