The 2024 Singapore Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 22 September 2024 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore. It was the eighteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

A disrupted qualifying session was topped by Lando Norris of McLaren, taking his sixth career pole position; he went on to lead all laps of the race to take victory over Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Norris' teammate Oscar Piastri. This was McLaren's second win at the Marina Bay Street Circuit following the 2009 race, and the first time that McLaren won consecutive Grands Prix since the final two races of the 2012 season. It was the fastest Singapore Grand Prix, as well as the first not to feature at least one safety car period or yellow flag. [3] This was the 257th and final race start for eight-time Grand Prix winner Daniel Ricciardo, who finished in 18th place and took the fastest lap of the race; he was replaced by Liam Lawson from the following United States Grand Prix onward.
