What is the Singapore weather forecast?
The weather forecast for this weekend’s race in Singapore is the usual mix of hot and humid temperatures and the threat of a thundery shower or two.
Racing at Marina Bay takes place at night, and the conditions should be dry for lights out at 8pm local time on Sunday. However, rain could arrive at some point during the 62-lap grand prix.
Saturday is more likely to be dry, while Friday’s two practice sessions could have rain.
How can McLaren win the constructors’ title?
Singapore presents McLaren with their second opportunity to wrap up the constructors’ championship, after the team failed to secure the trophy in Azerbaijan.
To be crowned champions for a 10th time – and with six races still to go – McLaren just need to score 13 points to confirm the title.
Even if McLaren don’t manage 13 points, second-placed Mercedes would need to outscore them by 31 points to keep the championship alive, while Ferrari in third need to outscore the leaders by 35 points to mathematically stay in the hunt.
