Singapore Grand Prix - Betting Odds, Event Details, History and Records
Date: 2026.10.11Contest: F1
Location: Marina Bay Street Circuit
One of the major stops in the Formula One Championship is the Singapore Grand Prix, which is among the few F1 races that are held at night. The race was first run in 1966 at Thomson Road, while the modern F1-era Singapore Grand Prix has taken place at Marina Bay since 2008. The pandemic led to the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 editions.
Location and Circuit Details:
During the 1960s and 1970s, the Singapore Grand Prix was held at Thomson Road. Since 2008, the race has been staged at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. It is a tight, technical street layout with walls close to the racing line. Overtaking is possible but difficult, and precision, traction, and low-speed performance are at a premium.
Race Length and Laps:
The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix ran over 62 laps of a 4.927 km layout, for an official race distance of 305.474 km.
Race Atmosphere:
The Singapore GP is famous for its night-time setting, tropical humidity, and demanding duration. Temperatures often hover around 30°C, and cockpit heat makes this one of the toughest races of the year.
Weather and Physical Demands:
High humidity can lead to significant fluid loss, and the race often runs close to the two-hour time limit, testing concentration and endurance.
Safety Car Statistics:
Since the modern event began in 2008, the combination of walls, bumps, and a narrow track has made safety car interventions a frequent feature.

Betting Trends:
Marina Bay rewards high-downforce setups, traction, and tire management more than outright top speed. Historically, teams like Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, and McLaren have excelled here when their low-speed performance is strong. Given frequent safety cars, markets such as total safety cars, fastest lap, head-to-heads, and podium finishes are popular alongside outright winner bets.
