The Singapore Grand Prix marks the 18th round of the season, with the Marina Bay Circuit playing host to the race under the night lights.

George Russell will start the upcoming race from pole position with Max Verstappen for company on the front row.

The weekend has largely been a dry affair thus far, although there have been some spots of rain on occasion - but never when the cars have been on the track.

F1 teams will need to keep an eye on the radar today as the threat of a thunderstorm lingers around the track.

Showers and thunderstorms are common in the Singapore area, but their precise location is difficult to predict.

Nevertheless, the threat has increased for the race compared to previous sessions this weekend, adding an extra element of stress for the race.

Despite the possible rain, a heat hazard has been declared by the FIA, with temperatures not expected to drop below 30°C during the grand prix.

As a result, drivers can opt to wear a cooling vest to help control their body temperatures. Should they choose not to use it, they must add 0.5kg of ballast to the car.
