The 63 laps race takes place on a 4.928 km (3.062 miles) circuit at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, as part of the Formula One World Championship.


The fastest cars in the world around a race track, with a single-seat, open-cockpit, open-wheel, with substantial front and rear wings. Carbon fiber and similar ultra-lightweight materials, for a minimum weight permissible of 740 kg and engines producing between 730 and 750 kW (980 and 1,000 hp), that's what gets cars reaching top speeds of 375 km/h (233 mph).


The Red Bull's Max Verstappen winning streak, and a formula 1 record of 10 straight wins, Singapore GP has a lot to offer. Winning the Spanish Grand Prix on his debut at the age of 18, the youngest driver ever. A son of a former Grand Prix driver (Jos Verstappen).

"A car is nothing without an engine and the Honda power unit is probably the best on the grid. Unlike last year's RB18, the RB19 is a lightweight chassis. The lighter your car is, the faster you will go," said Kravitz.

For the minimum weight limit, the RB19 is operating at close to 798 kg in 2023. Drag Reduction System offering an advantage of around two tenths of a second per lap. The RB19's suspension geometry balanced on acceleration and braking.


At the Singapore Grand Prix track, the sequence of four near 90-degree corners towards the end of the lap have been removed for this year's race. It's replaced with a longer straight section that leads from the gentle left-hander at Turn 15 to the tight right-hander at what used to be Turn 20, but is now Turn 16, creating a much quicker lap time.


The changes at the Marina Bay Street Circuit reduce the demand on brakes and will also help drivers to keep the tyres alive over a full lap, for a race event starting with two practices on the 15th, a practice and a qualifier on the 16th; and a race on the 17th in September 2023.
