“THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!”
Sainz takes brilliant victory in stunning Singapore finish

17 September, Singapore – Carlos Sainz won the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Grand Prix 2023 for Ferrari in one of the most thrilling finishes the Marina Bay Street Circuit had ever seen in its 14 races to date.

The 29-year-old Spaniard sacrificed sheer pace for brilliant race-craft to hold off the attacks of British trio Lando Norris in his McLaren and Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in the closing stages of the 62-lap race.

“An incredible feeling, an incredible weekend,” said Sainz after taking the second win of his F1 career and Ferrari’s sixth Singapore success. “I always felt like I had the headspace and the pace in hand to do whatever I wanted to do.”

That included managing the early race pace with help from teammate Charles Leclerc, then responding to a Virtual Safety Car at two-thirds distance which allowed Mercedes to pit both drivers and try to exploit the faster Pirelli Medium tyres which they alone had in hand.

Using his own speed to help Norris profit from the DRS zones as the English driver defended against the Mercedes pair, Sainz controlled the last 10 laps brilliantly to win by just 0.812 of a second.

Norris’s own cause was helped by Russell’s last-lap crash that brought a wail of “No, no!” from the 25-year-old Englishman’s cockpit. “Carlos was very generous, trying to help me get DRS,” admitted Norris as he equalled his best-ever F1 result. “We did everything we needed to do and more, so super-happy.”

“This is how it should be!” beamed Hamilton, the four-time Singapore winner claiming the 196th podium of his 325-race career. “The team did an amazing job today.” Hamilton also claimed the extra point for fastest lap, a 1:35.867 for an average speed of 185.507 km/h.

The Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix’s record of a Safety Car intervention at every race continued when Logan Sargeant’s Williams hit the barrier at Turn 14 on lap 20, shedding pieces of carbon fibre as the American limped back to the pits.

The Virtual Safety Car was needed when a brilliant drive from Esteban Ocon ended with his Alpine stopped on track with a suspected gearbox problem. The team could take some comfort by an equally strong drive from Pierre Gasly, who fought back from elimination in the first qualifying segment to claim an outstanding sixth place.

That put him one behind Max Verstappen, the previously all-conquering Dutchman saying “It feels like driving on ice” as his ill-handling Red Bull struggled for grip despite its obvious race pace. His teammate Sergio Pérez was eighth, sandwiched between two of the three rookies in the field.

Oscar Piastri produced what McLaren boss Zak Brown called “an awesome drive” to come home seventh, while New Zealander Liam Lawson strengthened his case for a permanent race seat with his first points in ninth place in only his third outing as deputy for Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri. The final point went to Haas’s Singapore specialist Kevin Magnussen.

Sixteen of the 19 starters were classified, the field cut by one when Lance Stroll decided discretion was the better part of valour after his huge Saturday crash and the Canadian Aston Martin driver did not take part. On Singapore’s shortened layout the race finished on 1 hr 46 mins 37.418 secs, comfortably within the two-hour limit.

Frenchman Florian Latorre kept his head as he negotiated the Marina Bay Street Circuit’s barriers to claim his second straight win in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, 7.2 secs ahead of China’s rival Kailuo Luo, closing out the weekend’s action-packed support races.

Earlier, in TSS The Super Series, there was also a double for Tanart Sathienthirakul, whose clean sweep of all sessions peaked in Sunday's thrilling second race two. Safely negotiating multiple safety car interventions, the 30-year-old Thai was 10.2 seconds ahead of rival Adrian D'Silva, with Lin Hao third.

Rounding off the electric entertainment programme that also saw performances by Kings of Leon, Madness, and Groove Armada at different zones of the Circuit Park earlier in the day, Robbie Williams performed to a crowd of 65,000 at the Zone 4 Padang stage after the chequered flag was waved. It was a memorable race weekend with over 80 hours of entertainment throughout the Circuit Park, including 139 artistes across 13 performance and DJ stages, as well as an array of activities to complement the race action.

Overall, the Marina Bay Street Circuit welcomed 264,108 fans to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 over the thrilling race weekend.

17 September, Singapore – The Marina Bay Street Circuit welcomed 264,108 fans to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 over the race weekend.

Despite the closure of the Bay Grandstand as part of the planned redevelopment of The Float at Marina Bay, which led to this year’s reduced attendance from 2022’s record capacity, six new grandstands as well as additional walkabout tickets were introduced to mitigate the loss of capacity, and these were all fully taken up due to very strong demand. This year’s turnout exceeds the previously announced anticipated attendance for 2023 of 250,000 over the three days.

In the last two days, the home of Formula 1 night racing has seen stunning action on track capped by a thrilling Qualifying session in which Carlos Sainz claimed Ferrari’s seventh Singapore pole ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell and Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc. Singapore now holds its collective breath in anticipation of what could possibly be a sixth different race-winner tonight.

Over the last two days, the Padang stage concerts headlined by Post Malone, Kings of Leon, as well as a line-up of artistes presented by 88rising including Jackson Wang, Niki, and Rich Brian have attracted tens of thousands of fans. Ticketholders can look forward to another amazing night of performances tonight with Robbie Williams and Groove Armada at the Zone 4 Padang stage, as well as the Kings of Leon and Madness at the Zone 1 Wharf Stage.

In a sign of continuing strong demand into 2024, the Super Early Bird tickets for next year’s race have also sold out having gone on sale only 72 hours ago. For the next ticketing phase selected tickets will now be available at Early Bird prices from 26 September via the official website www.singaporegp.sg.

PRANCING HORSE ‘PROGRESSES’ TO POLE POSITION
Shocking day for Red Bull at the Marina Bay Street Circuit

16 September, Singapore – Carlos Sainz took his first pole position as the Marina Bay Street Circuit witnessed one of its most dramatic qualifying sessions at the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023.

Sainz took his second successive pole with a lap of 1:30.984 to edge out George Russell’s Mercedes by just 0.072 of a second with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc third, a further seven-thousands behind.

“We are definitely making a bit of progress,” said 29-year-old Spaniard in what may be the understatement of the year. “We hit the ground running from FP1 and went on from there. It was a bit of a messy session for everyone but we kept the focus. Tomorrow I’m going to give it everything.”

“It was definitely a challenging session,” said Russell, “but you have to keep your composure and keep cool.” British compatriot Lando Norris put his seriously upgraded #4 McLaren into fourth place while Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes maintained his record of never qualifying out of the top five in Singapore.

Kevin Magnussen, owner of the fastest lap on the longer track layout of previous years, renewed his own love affair with Singapore, putting his Haas on the third row of the grid, with teammate Nico Hülkenberg rounding off a great day for the American team in ninth spot. Between them are the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon’s Alpine.

Liam Lawson continued his impressive form since taking over the AlphaTauri from the injured Daniel Ricciardo, the 21-year-old New Zealander qualifying 10th ahead of teammate Yuki Tsunoda.

A disastrous day for the previously untouchable Red Bulls saw championship leader Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Pérez, winner in Singapore last year, knocked out in the 15-minute Q2 segment for the first time since 2018.

Verstappen described his final quick lap as “an absolutely shocking experience” to end a day when he complained long and loud about his RB19’s gearshifts. “I knew it was going to be tough to put it on pole,” said Verstappen, “but this I didn’t expect. The car was undriveable. It will be a long, tough afternoon tomorrow.”

To cap it all Verstappen’s on-track behaviour earned him not one but two calls to see the race stewards, first for holding other drivers up in the pit lane during Q1 and later for impeding Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri at Turn 4 in Q2. He shrugged that part of his day off: “It was just so messy, it doesn’t matter if you start 11th or 15th.”

There was a lengthy stoppage after the 18-minute Q1 segment, which ended with Lance Stroll climbing unaided from his Aston Martin after a high-speed accident on the final corner which brought out the red flag.

Alfa Romeo duo Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu could not celebrate their new contracts as they were eliminated along with Stroll, American Logan Sargeant in his Williams and the luckless Oscar Piastri, whose McLaren was unable to complete its flying lap when the red flag was shown.

“I was in the final corner,” said the rueful Australian. “It wasn’t the best lap I’ve ever driven but it should have been enough to get through.”

In the day’s other track action series leader Florian Latorre of France reasserted himself with a 1.313-second win over determined pursuer Kailuo Luo of China in the first 12-lap race of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia event. Latorre set fastest lap of 2:05.061, an average of 142.090 km/h, on lap 6.

In TSS The Super Series action Thai polesitter Tanart Sathienthirakul started poorly but fought back to end up a runaway winner of the first 25-minute invitational race, 10.520 seconds clear of China’s Lin Hao. The winner also set fastest lap with a 2:14.171 or 132.547 km/h on his sixth lap.

So we know how crucial qualifying is at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, where eight of the 13 races have been won from pole. Will Sainz underline that important statistic – or might another new Singapore winner be waiting in the wings?

The day’s off-track entertainment saw concerts by The Kooks, Kings of Leon, and Culture Club in the Circuit Park, with Post Malone capping them off with a performance to a crowd of 65,000 at the Zone 4 Padang stage after the Formula 1 Qualifying session.

FERRARI AT THE DOUBLE, RED BULL HIT TROUBLE
Sainz tops the times on new-look Marina Bay Street Circuit

15 September, Singapore – Ferrari claimed the top two spots at the end of the first day’s running in the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 as changes to the Marina Bay Street Circuit’s layout saw lap times tumble.

F1 experts predicted a nine-second drop with the lap shortened by four corners and 135 metres, but Carlos Sainz’s quickest lap of 1:32.120 seconds, at an average speed of 193.052km/h, was in fact 10.913 seconds faster than the equivalent session in 2022.

The 29-year-old Spaniard led teammate Charles Leclerc by 18-thousandths of a second as the scarlet cars carried their form at Monza to the very different surroundings of the Singapore streets.

Third, two-tenths slower, was George Russell for Mercedes, who clearly liked what he saw from the cockpit. “I am really enjoying the new track layout,” said the 25-year-old Englishman. “It makes the final sector, and the lap as a whole, much more flowing. It definitely improves the experience behind-the-wheel and should help create better racing on Sunday.”

Two-time Singapore winner Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin was sandwiched between Russell and the second Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton, while a raft of no fewer than nine upgrades helped Lando Norris’s new-liveried McLaren to sixth, albeit over half a second off the front-running Ferraris’ pace.

Max Verstappen, yet to win in Singapore, and Red Bull teammate Sergio Pérez, winner here last year, both complained about their cars’ handling as the Mexican took seventh spot ahead of the dominant Dutchman.

“Every braking zone I feel like I’m going to crash,” Pérez complained as his 250th race weekend got off to a sluggish start. Same problem for Verstappen, who at one point admitted “I lost it” as his RB19 went into a lurid slide out of Turn 13. He nearly lost Sainz as well, the Ferrari driver yelling “I almost crashed into this guy!” as the Red Bull dawdled in front of him with 20 minutes of the session left.

Kevin Magnussen, whose two fastest laps have both come in Singapore, again excelled at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, powering his Haas to an unexpected ninth place, backed up by teammate Nico Hülkenberg in 11th. Between them was the Alfa Romeo of Valtteri Bottas, complete with a new floor which the veteran Finn said was “the upgrade we have been waiting for all season.”

Alex Albon’s Williams looked superb in its new race livery but the 27-year-old who has over-performed in a still under-performing car lasted no longer than 10 minutes of second practice. “I lost power” was the ominous message from the cockpit and Albon’s race and qualifying preparations, for which this session is crucial, were over.

Earlier in the day, Thai driver Tanart Sathienthirakul took a commanding pole position for the first TSS The Super Series race. The 30-year-old’s Audi R8 Evo II had already enjoyed a comfortable 3.6-seconds gap from the 16-car field in a free practice session stopped early after Hong Kong driver Mak Hing Tak’s Bentley GT3 came off second-best in a crash with the Singapore barriers. The Thai star then extended the gap to 4.233 seconds in a superb qualifying performance.

In Porsche Carrera Cup Asia's opening practice, China’s Kailuo Luo laid down a marker for Saturday’s qualifying session, clocking 2.06.022 to leave series leader Florian Latorre 0.435 seconds in his wake.

Series stalwarts Chris van der Drift, a double race-winner last time out, and Martin Ragginger were third and fourth in a session which was also halted 15 minutes early after John Shen stopped at Turn 10.

Off-track, 88rising’s line-up of artistes including Jackson Wang, Niki, and Rich Brian performed to a crowd of 50,000 at the Padang stage in Zone 4.

“THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!”
Old hands and young hopefuls share the Singapore thrill

14 September, Singapore – More overtaking opportunities, an extra lap: the Marina Bay Street Circuit has changed, but drivers young and old are still as excited as ever as the Formula 1 roadshow roars into Singapore for the 14th time.

Old hand Nico Hülkenberg has been there, done that, but the 36-year-old German cannot wait to hit the Singapore streets again: “Formula 1 has integrated a few night races into the calendar now,” says the Haas driver, “but this is the original, and with that comes some added excitement.”

Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez took an outstanding win here last year, but facing his 250th Grand Prix the 33-year-old Mexican is under renewed pressure to perform in the ‘other’ RB19. The changes may help: “The new track layout is going to make things quicker,” says Checo, “and there will be rain, so it could be fun!”

A two-year extension to his Mercedes contract means four-time Singapore winner Lewis Hamilton will be racing at the pinnacle past his 40th birthday. He has no plans to slow down in pursuit of that elusive all-time record eighth world title.

“We have never been hungrier to win,” says Sir Lewis, who hasn’t won a race since round 21 in 2021. “We have learnt from every success but also every setback. Our story isn’t finished, we are determined to achieve more together, and we won’t stop until we do.” Singapore may be his best chance of victory number 104.

Already well past 40 is Fernando Alonso, whose switch to Aston Martin paid instant dividends with podium after podium early in the year. The top step in Singapore may be a stretch, but the 42-year-old Spanish cavalier still breathes fire and has the memory of two Singapore wins in the first three years to keep his own hunger alive.

At the other end of the F1 scale, three Singapore rookies will be on the streets this year. Logan Sargeant needs a strong finish to the season to keep his place at an improving Williams team and for him it couldn’t start at a better place. “I’m really excited to be driving under the lights at Marina Bay for the first time,” says the 22-year-old American. “It’s a track I’ve wanted to race at since I was a kid.”

Same feeling for 21-year-old Liam Lawson, deputising for the injured Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri: “When I was a kid it was my favourite circuit,” the New Zealander recalls. “I think because it was a night race and just looked really cool – I used to play it on the Formula 1 games all the time.”

Meanwhile, over at McLaren, 22-year-old Australian Oscar Piastri has five top-ten finishes and a fastest race lap in his debut year, a clear sign that F3 and F2 champion Piastri is a star in the F1 making – but Marina Bay is another major test.

And what of F1 icons Ferrari? The scarlet team already boasts three Singapore wins, six poles and 10 podiums; they come fresh from a three-four finish and pole position at their home race in Monza. “A really cool place to race,” Carlos Sainz calls Singapore,” a really cool city.” But the Spaniard also knows the challenge: “the warmest, the longest, the toughest!”

Keep an eye on the Alpine pairing of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, who has his 27th birthday on Sunday. Might Singapore be one of the ‘ups’ in an up-and-down year for the French team? Gasly thinks so: “I do enjoy the track,” says Gasly, also 27. “I’ve scored points at the last two races there and intend to make it three in a row.”

As always, qualifying will be crucial, a one-stop strategy is what tyre-suppliers Pirelli say is “the clear way to go”, and Singapore waits to see if it will have its sixth different race-winner.

Which brings us to Max Verstappen. F1’s serial record-breaker has never won in Singapore in six previous attempts: could this be lucky number seven for the Flying Dutchman? With 12 victories so far, Max has got most things right this season, and he also ‘gets’ Singapore. Forget the high temperatures and the heat of battle, says Verstappen: “Marina Bay is a cool circuit!”

SINGAPORE GP TO HALVE ENERGY EMISSIONS FROM THE FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX BY 2028

• The event's first carbon footprint report found that energy accounted for 96.1% of Circuit Park emissions.
• Singapore GP plans to use hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in half of the event's power generators by 2025, and 100% by 2028.

8 September 2023, Singapore - Race organiser Singapore GP Pte Ltd (SGP) will halve the energy emissions from the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix by 2028 by focusing on energy reduction, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, and utilising Renewable Energy Certificates¹ (RECs) for unavoidable emissions.

The move follows SGP's first carbon footprint report, which found that total emissions in the Circuit Park amounted to 2,372 tCO2e² in 2022. Energy use made up most of the emissions at 96.1%, while the remaining 3.9% resulted from transport, waste and water.

Energy at the forefront

Energy usage comprised 96.1%³ of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Consequently, SGP will focus its efforts on energy use — the area with the greatest potential for impact. To tackle emissions from power generators, Singapore GP will gradually phase out diesel, and increase the use of low-carbon fuel alternatives.

“We have adopted incremental sustainability measures since our debut in 2008, but with advancements in technology and the evolution of best practices, we now have an opportunity to do more,” said Sasha Rafi, Director of Sustainability, SGP. “Equipped with data from our 2022 carbon footprint report, we have developed a roadmap that will allow us to meaningfully reduce emissions, with a distinct focus on energy use. These measures will be taken in tandem with Formula 1’s global efforts to reach net zero by 2030⁴.”

The feasibility trial to substitute diesel fuel with renewable fuel such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), will take place from this year. SGP will work towards implementing HVO in half its Circuit Park power generators by 2025, and all of its power generators by 2028. This initiative will reduce CO2e emissions by up to 52% when fully implemented. Where possible, the organisers will also adopt renewable energy to reduce emissions drawn from the electrical grid.

Earlier this year, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) installed solar panels at the F1 Pit Building. The amount of electricity generated by these solar panels in a year is enough to power the building for an entire race month. 100% of the track lights are being replaced by energy-efficient LED lights, reducing electricity use by at least 30% than the previous metal-halide bulbs.

“Sustainability is a collective responsibility. We are committed to work with like-minded industry players to scale up in sustainability solutions and capabilities for the Singapore race. This is the start of our journey and we will continue to take steps towards our goal of becoming one of the most environmentally sustainable street circuits on the Formula 1 calendar,” said Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, STB.

SGP will continue to utilise RECs to offset remaining unavoidable emissions. In 2022, it purchased RECs to cover 85% of its electricity consumption in the Circuit Park.

A holistic approach to sustainability

As F1 continues its efforts towards Net Zero by 2030, it has worked closely with all promoters and race organisers to provide guidance on best practice in several key areas alongside energy and carbon reduction, including recycling and reuse, local fan travel, wellbeing and nature, and local community. These are all areas SGP has shown strength in and will continue to develop.

While energy management will remain the cornerstone of SGP’s sustainability drive, other measures to minimise the event’s environmental footprint will also continue to be explored.
In 2023, SGP will roll out container toilets with enhanced water efficiency⁵ in the Circuit Park. Set to be deployed for the first time at a local event, these solar-powered toilets will save an estimated 129,600-litres of water over the three-day race weekend.

Other ongoing initiatives include the long-standing practice of collecting used cooking oil which saw 8,105kg of it recycled into biodiesel in the last five editions. In 2022 alone, this achieved at least 4,000kg of CO2e reduction. Last year, SGP also ceased sales of single-use plastic bottled water, which eliminated an estimated 160,000 single-use plastic bottles.

Given the nature of the street circuit, fans are also encouraged to travel to the event by public transport. The Circuit Park is served by six MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) stations that are within walking distance to the gates.

SGP will also endeavour to achieve additional standards to align its sustainability initiatives with industry benchmarks and maintain a high level of accountability. In 2022, it received a one-star rating for the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile Environmental Accreditation Programme. The F1 Pit Building has also been certified Green Mark GoldPlus by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority since 24 Feb 2022.

Collective effort for a sustainable future

SGP remains committed to actively involving patrons in minimising their environmental impact. It will continue to promote sustainable practices, such as utilising public transportation, and offer convenient water points to encourage patrons to bring their own reusable bottles.

SGP invites like-minded organisations to work together to share best practices and pilot sustainable measures, so as to foster collective impact that extends beyond its annual event.

All external vendors and contractors will also be required to pledge towards SGP’s Environmental, Social and Governance commitments by 2025.

¹ Renewable Energy Certificate is a type of Energy Attribute Certificate that represents the environmental attributes of the generation of a one-megawatt hour of energy produced by renewable sources.

Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 almost sold out

29 August 2023, Singapore – Demand for tickets to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 continues to be very strong, with 16 out of 23 categories currently sold out. Of the remaining categories, five have very limited availability.

Nearly all hospitality packages for the 14th edition of the night race have also been taken up. Only a limited number of seats remain at the Vista Suite and Pit Entry Lounge hospitality suites located opposite the pit entry at the Singapore Flyer.

Based on current inventory, the Marina Bay Street Circuit is expected to host approximately 250,000 spectators this 15 to 17 September 2023. The reduced capacity – some 17% lower than last year’s record-breaking attendance of 302,000 – is due to the closure of the Bay Grandstand as part of the redevelopment of The Float at Marina Bay.

“We were prepared that we would temporarily lose our biggest grandstand when we saw the redevelopment plans for the facility a few years ago and have been hard at work to actively identify potential sites for new viewing opportunities. We were always aware that we will not be able to completely replace the inventory, especially given the limitations of a street circuit,” said Adam Firth, Executive Director of Singapore GP Pte Ltd.

“Fortunately, we were able to overcome the challenges and recoup 10,000 tickets with several exciting new options for our fans. We are delighted to have such a fantastic response to the six new grandstands introduced earlier this year, and look forward to build on this momentum for a fantastic race weekend this September.”

With the event just weeks away, preparations for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 are on schedule. Visitors have plenty to look forward to, including a brand-new track layout and an exciting entertainment line-up of more than 40 artistes that includes Post Malone, Robbie Williams, Kings of Leon, Madness, Groove Armada and Culture Club.

Singapore GP and Singapore Tourism Board on track to drive change at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix

New features starting this year will generate cleaner energy and reduce the carbon footprint of the event

9 June 2023, Singapore – With 100 days until the Formula 1 (F1) Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023, the race is on track to become more environmentally sustainable. The installation of solar panels on the F1 Pit Building has been completed, while installations for a more energy-efficient lighting system at the night race has begun.

In 2022, Singapore GP Pte Ltd and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) laid the foundation for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix to become one of the most environmentally sustainable street circuits on the race calendar. This included initiatives such as moving towards cleaner energy, going digital for greater resource efficiency, improving waste management and reducing single-use plastics.

This year, to transition the F1 Pit Building to cleaner energy sources, STB appointed ENGIE South East Asia to install solar panels on the facility’s rooftop. Works have just completed, with the 1,396 solar panels now fully operational. By converting sunlight into electricity, the panels are expected to generate 803,155 kWh of energy in a year. This amount of solar energy is sufficient to power the F1 Pit Building for an entire race month. This includes providing the power for the Formula 1 Paddock Club suites, Race Control Room, Media Centre, garages, as well as the administrative offices. Any excess solar energy will be sold to the grid to offset the facility’s utility costs.

“We are thrilled that the F1 Pit Building can now be powered by renewable energy. This is an important milestone because it will reduce the carbon footprint of the race, as well as all other events that use the F1 Pit Building beyond the race period. Sustainability is a key priority for the Singapore race, and we will continue to work with Singapore GP and our partners to make our race more sustainable," said Ms. Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, STB.

Work is now underway to install a more energy-efficient track lighting system for the remainder of the term until 2028. The metal-halide projectors that were in place since 2008 will be fully replaced by LED track lights to illuminate the 4.928km-long race track. Supplied by DZE Asia in collaboration with Signify Singapore, the upgraded LEDs will require significantly less power per fitting, consuming at least 30% less electricity than the previous bulbs. In addition, the new lights also do not require any warm up time to reach their full luminance when switched on, saving time and energy.

The new ArenaVision LED floodlights are designed to provide optimal lighting conditions for drivers, while also offering unforgettable experiences for F1 fans, media and broadcasters. Featuring a higher colour temperature of 5,700K, the lighting system will provide outstanding visual clarity, effective heat management, and a long lifespan – all while meeting the latest broadcasting standards.

The metal-halide lights will be given new life through recycled art. DZ Engineering and Dino Zoli Foundation will be organising an art exhibition featuring creations that artists will make out of the old projectors to promote a more sustainable future. The exhibition is slated for September and more details will be shared later.

“We are excited to kick off our sustainability efforts for the new term and we look forward to drive change at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. More initiatives are currently being planned for the night race, and we will be announcing these, as well as the results of our carbon footprint report from last year’s event in the coming weeks,” said Ms. Sasha Rafi, Director of Sustainability for Singapore GP Pte Ltd.

See Annex A for more details on the solar panels and LED lighting system.

18 April 2023, Singapore – Get your party engines started, as race promoter Singapore GP Pte Ltd unveils the first wave of entertainment acts set to light up the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023 from 15 to 17 September 2023.

He also scored “the highest-certified single in RIAA history” with the 17x-platinum Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse) [feat. Swae Lee], netting the biggest single of his generation.

Robbie secured his 14th UK Number 1 album with XXV, which topped the chart in its first week of release. With this amazing achievement, the music icon has now broken the record for the solo artiste with the most UK Number 1 albums - only The Beatles now have more UK Number 1 albums than Robbie with 15. Robbie has also raised over £75 million to date for charity through co-founding Soccer Aid for UNICEF in 2006. His hits include Angels, Millennium, Candy, Feel, and She’s the One.
