Watch the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix live streams to see the first-ever night Sprint race in F1 history, as well as the first Sprint weekend at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. It’s one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar, with 19 corners winding through the streets of Singapore. It’s also one of the slowest circuits in F1, with only Monaco having a lower average speed.
Red Bull head into the Grand Prix with a car that finally looks competitive after Max Verstappen’s first win of the season last week and his victory in the inaugural Singapore Sprint. Ferrari will be hoping to capitalise on their pace and challenge for a strong result from second and third on the grid, while Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli starts fourth, with teammate George Russell at the back of the grid.

Singapore Grand Prix 2026: Preview
Last time out in 2025, George Russell converted pole position into victory to give Mercedes its second and final win of the season. This time around, however, the 28-year-old Briton will start Sunday's Grand Prix from the back after receiving a 40-place grid penalty for taking four additional power unit elements.
Russell has now suffered back-to-back retirements, first in Sepang and then in Saturday's Sprint, which delivered a record nine DNFs – the most in F1 Sprint history, arguably due to the wet conditions. Russell had initially taken the lead from Max Verstappen in the rain but threw away his advantage almost immediately after crashing at the final corner on the opening lap.
Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli, meanwhile, started the Sprint seventh but climbed to fourth, benefiting from the two McLarens colliding on the final lap. Mercedes have looked pale in comparison to Red Bull and Ferrari since introducing their upgrades in Sepang. Antonelli will start fourth, but he now holds an 89-point lead in the Drivers' Championship, so the result is unlikely to be a major concern for the Italian.
Red Bull arrived this weekend with arguably the strongest momentum of any team. Max Verstappen finally claimed his first win of 2026 at Sepang, and he has backed that up with another commanding performance in wet conditions, winning the inaugural Sprint at Marina Bay. He then grabbed pole for the Grand Prix, finishing just 0.054 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc, who was only 0.069 seconds quicker than his teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Ferrari, however, looked well placed to challenge for pole after Hamilton topped both Q1 and Q2. But he was unable to improve on his final attempt after struggling with a snappy car in Q3. Leclerc, then, secured second. He started and finished third in the Sprint, with Hamilton producing an impressive second-place finish after lining up sixth. Hamilton overtook both McLarens and his teammate in the opening corners before settling into second behind Verstappen.
McLaren, meanwhile, just cannot catch a break. The team has struggled to produce meaningful results since Lando Norris' podium in Madrid. The two papaya drivers, Oscar Piastri and Norris, started the Sprint fourth and fifth respectively but collided on the final lap while fighting for position. Norris recovered to finish eighth, while Piastri retired after spinning out. Qualifying offered little respite, with Norris taking fifth and Piastri seventh, leaving both behind the leading Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes cars.
