Singapore Grand Prix - 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track
The Singapore Grand Prix was first introduced to the F1 calendar in 2008. Since then, it has been a regular feature in the Formula One World Championship except 2020.
The race under artificial lights usually starts at midday GMT (8 PM local time) at the Marina Bay street circuit, which is the standard time for European Grands Prix. While this moderates the extreme daytime apparent temperature in the tropical climate, cockpit temperatures can still reach 60 °C (140 °F).
Controversy
The very first race itself was marred in controversy, courtesy of Renault. Apparently, Nelson Piquet Jr was told to crash his car deliberately to bring out the safety car.
Meanwhile, his teammate Fernando Alonso had already pitted for fresh tires and fuel. So, he benefitted handsomely when the rest of the pack pitted under the safety car, vaulting him up the order to an unlikely win.
However, months later, the FIA smelt a rat and investigated the incident. Then Piquet Jr squealed, revealing that his crash was a ploy to let Alonso win. As a result, team principal Flavio Briatore was banned and Nelson Piquet Jr's career was practically thrown away.
While the track itself isn't the best suited to overtaking, it makes for a spectacle with F1 cars shining under the lights in all their glory.
