Formula 1 returns this weekend with the Singapore Grand Prix, where all eyes will be on the championship-leading squad McLaren after a disappointing Azerbaijan weekend.
The British outfit scored just six points through Lando Norris’ seventh-place finish as Oscar Piastri, who tops the drivers’ standings, crashed out on lap one.
Max Verstappen was the driver to profit as the Red Bull star scored a second win on the bounce, leading to belief that the reigning champion is now in the title battle.
That is despite a 69-point gap between him and Piastri, with Norris sandwiched between them, but with 199 left available it is still all to play for.
Some say this weekend will be crucial for Verstappen’s chances, while McLaren also has a chance to seal the constructors’ crown should it score just 13 points in Singapore.
So here is how to watch all of the action, starting with qualifying.
