Singapore's Marina Bay circuit brings a stern test for the drivers this weekend, as the heat and unforgiving nature of the street circuit leaves little room for error. The FIA has declared it a heat-hazard race, with temperatures forecast to soar above 31 degrees.

McLaren needs to rediscover the pace they enjoyed before Baku, but the straight-line speed issue with the car poses a problem.
