2026 F1 Singapore Grand Prix - Marina Bay start time this weekend
Round 17 of the 2026 F1 season takes place this weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay.
The race is due for a 20:00 local time start on Sunday, October 11th, and will last for 62 laps, with Mercedes' George Russell the defending race winner.
However, Russell will be carrying a back-of-the-grid penalty into the race, which will be applied only for the grand prix and not the Sprint, which is taking place in Singapore for the first time and will be held on Saturday, October 10th at 17:00 local time.
In the UK, BST is seven hours behind local time in Singapore, meaning the Sprint starts at 10:00 local time and the 2026 F1 Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay will begin at 13:00 BST on Sunday, October 11th.
