F1 Practice Today: Singapore Grand Prix 2024 start times, schedule, TV channel and live stream

Formula 1 is leaving the skyline of Baku behind in favour of the Marina Bay floodlights for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri secured his second ever grand prix victory at the Azerbaijan GP, and helped lift McLaren to the top of the constructors' standings.

His team-mate Lando Norris managed to claw his way from the back of the grid to finish P4, and remains 59 points behind Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship.

The Dutchman remained rather anonymous in Baku, finishing fifth but failing to challenge the frontrunners at any point during the weekend.

Red Bull's woes worsened when Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz crashed into one another, both losing crucial points for their team's championship campaigns.

Ferrari will be hoping to bounce back with a victory in Singapore, where they could usurp Red Bull for second in the constructors' standings with just 31 points separating the two teams.
