Vroom.
The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix attracted a crowd of 301,294 fans, placing it as the second-highest attended race in the event's history since its inclusion in the Formula 1 calendar in 2008, organizers reported. Despite the thick haze enveloping the island nation, this year's attendance surpassed the previous record set in 2022, when 302,000 spectators gathered to witness the street circuit showdown.
This season, the race introduced the sprint format at the Marina Bay circuit, with Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen expected to start from pole position after securing the top spot in qualifying. Having claimed his maiden victory of the season at the preceding Bahrain Grand Prix, Verstappen aims to secure a second Singapore Grand Prix triumph.
Joining him on the grid are Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, both determined to challenge the Dutch driver's maiden win in Singapore. The 17th edition of the race, set to commence at 8pm, promises an exhilarating night of high-speed action.
