Worries over the weather for the Singapore GP | OneFootball

The Singapore Grand Prix once again puts Formula 1 drivers and teams on alert, as the weather threatens to play a key role over the weekend at the Marina Bay street circuit. According to the forecast, thunderstorms and rain are expected between Thursday and Saturday, which could complicate both the qualifying sessions and Sunday's race.

The weather report indicates stable temperatures around 29° and 30 degrees, with a thermal sensation that tends to be even higher due to the high humidity (over 75%). For Thursday and Friday, the forecast predicts heavy storms, while Saturday will also see instability and possible precipitation. On Sunday, race day, isolated showers and a sweltering climate around 31° are expected, adding another challenge to an already demanding track.

The Marina Bay circuit is one of the most challenging on the calendar: a street circuit with tight corners, little room for error, and more than 60 laps that usually push both the drivers' concentration and physical endurance to the limit. In rainy conditions, the urban asphalt easily accumulates water and visibility is reduced to a minimum, multiplying the risks of incidents and unexpected race strategies.

In 2024, rain had already created uncertainty during practice and qualifying, and now everything indicates that history could repeat itself. Singapore's tropical climate makes changes sudden, so teams and drivers must be prepared to switch between dry and intermediate tires in a matter of minutes.

Thus, the Singapore Grand Prix is shaping up to be one of the most demanding of the season: extreme heat, oppressive humidity, and the constant threat of thunderstorms that could alter the grid order and the very development of the race.
