Marina Bay Metrics
As Fred says, the pit lane can so often play a real role in deciding the outcome of a Grand Prix in Singapore.
Marina Bay is one of two circuits on the calendar to have a 60km/h pit lane speed limit, along with Monaco.
This, combined with being one of eight tracks to have a pit lane longer than 400m, means the average total pitlane time in Singapore is 24.3 seconds – the second longest of the year after Imola.
Given its tight and twisty nature, it is not surprising that Singapore ranks low in terms of time spent at full throttle during a lap. Just 47.2% of the total lap time (only Monaco and Mexico are lower) and 59.2% of the lap distance (only Monaco is lower) is flat out for the drivers.
The combination of long straights and slow corners does mean that Marina Bay has more heavy-braking events of more than 4G (four) than any other track – apart from Las Vegas – on the 2025 calendar.
Singapore also has the highest level of fuel consumption per kilogram of the season, and only Monaco has a lower top speed than Marina Bay, which sees cars top out at around 314km/h during a lap.
And all of this is done in the hottest average ambient temperatures of the year, with the mercury reaching 29.3C.
You can expect to see the Safety Car, too. The 2024 race was the first in 15 editions to not feature a Safety Car period during the Grand Prix.
