What we think

Singapore is an important race for F1. It is the Monaco of the East and will always have a place in history as the sport’s first night race. The first event changed the global perception of Singapore in one memorable night and the race remains popular with the F1 world. This year’s event was a great success, despite the weather, with 302,000 spectators over the three days, compared to the 268,000 who attended in 2019, the last time F1 was able to visit Singapore. The race will remain on the calendar until at least 2028, following the news that the original contract was extended by two years, to cover the races lost in the COVID-19 pandemic, and another five-year deal was agreed from 2024 to 2028. The only problem that Singapore has faced has been the question of overtaking. It was hoped that with the new generation of cars this year it would become possible, but the race showed that the problem still exists.
The good news is that there may be a solution ahead. The original track layout has to be modified in the future because of the redevelopment of the waterfront of Marina Bay, with the construction of a new ‘NS Square’, which will replace thefloating stadium through which the cars pass. This is fiddly but provides the Grand Prix with permanent seating for thousands of fans, which means that the track does not have to build more temporary grandstands to house everyone.
It is hoped that the new straight that will be created by the work will facilitate overtaking. If that is the case, we also hope that Singapore will keep the idea permanently, although this would mean that the permanent seating in NS Square would not be used.
Our view is that it is better to have a great race track than to have seats overlooking an area where nothing much happens...
