After a week's break, the 2025 Formula 1 grid heads to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the 18th race of the campaign, the Singapore Grand Prix, set to take place on Sunday.

Defending drivers' champion Max Verstappen has shifted into higher gear in the second half of the season. He reigned supreme at the tricky Baku city circuit to record the second successive race win, and the fourth of the year.

McLaren dominance was stalled for a while as Oscar Piastri did not finish the race while Lando Norris finished seventh. 

Despite the slip-up, Piastri leads this season's drivers' standings with 324 points, while McLaren have a strong lead in the constructors' championship with 623 points, followed by Mercedes with 290 points.

The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
