Two weeks ago, the 2023 Formula 1 season ended its tour in the European continent, and from now on, we will enjoy the remaining races in different parts of the world.
This weekend, the circus arrives in the Lion City, and there is no doubt that the excitement is palpable because, in addition to Sunday’s race, we will have an action-packed weekend with all the drivers trying to prevent Max Verstappen from getting back on top of the podium.
The Singapore Grand Prix 2023, a GP known for its spectacular night racing and challenging street circuit, will be held this weekend, which ends with the feature race on September 17, 2023.
On the other hand, this Singapore GP also begins the countdown to Max Verstappen’s coronation as a three-time world champion. While it is true that the Dutchman cannot do it mathematically in Singapore, there is no doubt that he has everything to achieve it in Japan, that is, in the next GP. In addition, let’s remember that Verstappen has won 10 consecutive races and 12 of the 14 that have been disputed in 2023.
The Circuit: Marina Bay
The Marina Bay street circuit, with its 19 turns, is one of the most physically demanding tracks on the Formula 1 calendar. The combination of high-speed straights, tight corners, and wet conditions tests the endurance of drivers and their cars. In addition, the circuit has a length of 4.94 km, as it underwent a reduction for this season, where up to 4 turns were eliminated.
Finally, the Marina Bay Circuit is illuminated by 1,600 light projectors, which offers a unique spectacle that is a must-see for every F1 fan.

Where can I watch it?
ESPN
There is no doubt that we have a strong candidate to win the Singapore GP, the reigning world champion, Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver has accumulated 10 consecutive victories this season, and it is more than likely that he will add his 11th. Moreover, this season, the only one who could face him is his teammate, Sergio Perez, who we can point to finish second in the race.
Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton are also strong candidates to spoil the Dutchman’s party, as both have enough experience to take victory in this street circuit. Lewis has won four times at Marina Bay, so he knows this tricky track perfectly. On the other hand, Alonso wants to continue his fight for third place in the drivers’ championship.
McLaren’s Lando Norris is another driver to watch out for. The British driver has shown his ability in the last races and can also be a driver to watch out for in this race.
The Singapore GP 2023 promises to be an exciting race full of intense competition. Whether you are a seasoned F1 fan or a casual spectator, placing a bet could add to the excitement of the race.
Betting Picks
Indisputably, Max Verstappen is our pick for the race winner at the Singapore GP. The Dutch driver seems unrivaled, and no other driver can keep up with him in the races. Then, we have a complicated choice, as everything will depend exclusively on what happens in Qualifying on Saturday afternoon.
Taking a bit of a risk, we go with a bet on Sergio Perez to second place and the experienced Lewis Hamilton completing the podium at Marina Bay.
