The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race held on 5 October 2025 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore. It was the eighteenth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship. George Russell (Mercedes) converted his pole position into a win, ahead of Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Lando Norris (McLaren). McLaren won its tenth Constructors' Championship at this event, and second in a row; this marks the first time McLaren had won consecutive Constructors' Championships since 1991, and the first Singapore Grand Prix to feature the crowning of a World Constructors' Champion. This is also the first Singapore Grand Prix to not feature a retirement.[3]
World Constructors' Championship leader McLaren had an opportunity to secure its tenth title at this event, and their second in a row. With seven rounds remaining in the season, a maximum of 346 points could still be scored. McLaren had an opportunity to secure the title if they scored just 13 points, regardless of where either Mercedes or Ferrari finish. As such, winning the race or scoring a podium with one of their drivers would secure the title; if either prerequisite was not met, both drivers would at least need to finish above the mentioned teams to do so. Mercedes would need to outscore McLaren by 31 points, and Ferrari by 35, to disallow them from achieving the title in this event. Red Bull had already been eliminated from contention, for the second season in a row, following the preceding Azerbaijan Grand Prix.[7]
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C3, C4 and C5 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[12]
Circuit change
The pit lane was widened by one metre; as such, the pit lane speed limit was increased from 60km/h (37mph) to 80km/h (50mph).[13]
Weather forecast
Ahead of the weekend, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) received a forecast predicting that the heat index would be greater than 31°C (88°F) at some time during the race. As a result, the FIA declared a "heat hazard"; in these conditions, teams may either equip their drivers with cooling systems, with the minimum weight limit being raised by 5 kilograms (11lb) to compensate for the equipment, or add additional 0.5 kilograms (1lb) of ballast in the cockpit.[14] This change was introduced in 2025 to prevent driver overheating, as observed during the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.[15]
The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 21:00 local time,[1] and was topped by Oscar Piastri (McLaren) ahead of Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) and Verstappen. The session was affected by a red flag after George Russell (Mercedes) hit the wall at turns 16–17, breaking his front wing. Another red flag occurred shortly after the session resumed, with Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls) crashing his car after hitting the wall at turn 16 and stopping at the pit entrance.[17]
The third practice session was held on 4 October 2025, at 17:30 local time,[1] and was topped by Verstappen ahead of Piastri and Russell. A red flag was observed due to Lawson losing the car at turn 7, sending him into the wall.[18]
