You can expect a calmer Sunday at the Singapore Grand Prix after Saturday’s heavy rain. The 62-lap race starts at 8pm local time, with temperatures near 27°C. For drivers, heat and humidity still make Marina Bay a stern test.
The latest Sunday weather forecast points to a lower rain risk than Saturday, though showers remain possible. Track conditions could shift quickly if rain reaches the circuit; check the race schedule and viewing details before lights out.
Singapore Grand Prix: Sunday rain forecast
Saturday’s torrential tropical downpour delayed the planned Sprint start by 30 minutes. Officials assessed standing water before drivers took to the circuit. Intermediate tyres handled the wet surface, while heavy spray reduced visibility. That disruption makes Sunday’s lower rain risk welcome, but not certain.
The Sunday rain forecast stays modest through the night, with showers still possible. A brief downpour could alter grip on painted street surfaces. Teams will keep close watch on radar as the race unfolds. Review Singapore GP session times and viewing options ahead of the start.
Marina Bay track conditions and driver comfort
Near 27°C, high humidity will test driver endurance across the 62 laps. Light winds should bring little relief beneath the Singapore night sky. The street layout leaves few easy moments for drivers to recover. Heat and moisture will shape race-day conditions as much as rain.
Teams will track surface heat and grip levels as conditions evolve. Track temperature affects tyre behaviour, even when air temperatures seem manageable. A shower may leave slick patches where cars turn or brake. Those details can influence tire strategy and each pit-wall call.
Tyre strategy if rain reaches the circuit
Saturday’s intermediate tyre choice showed how quickly teams must react. Sunday’s drier outlook points toward a different tyre plan. Yet an unexpected shower could force rapid changes in compound choice. Wet-weather race decisions may decide who keeps control on the narrow streets.
Friday’s largely dry sessions gave teams useful setup data. Sunday brings a fresh grip challenge under floodlights, with humidity likely to remain high. Each crew must weigh a stable tyre plan against the chance of rain. At Marina Bay, one passing shower can reshape the contest.
