F1 Practice Today: Singapore Grand Prix 2025 start times, schedule, TV channel and live stream

The F1 circus roles into Singapore this weekend for the 18th round of the season, with the Marina Bay Street Circuit playing host to the resumption of a thrilling championship battle.

Max Verstappen's back-to-back victories in Monza and Baku have put him to within 69 points of championship leader Oscar Piastri, while Lando Norris is just 25 points behind his McLaren team-mate.

McLaren are also able to wrap up their second successive constructors' championship title in Singapore, just requiring 13 points to make it mathematically impossible for their rivals to catch them.

Before the points-paying competitive sessions get underway, there are three practice sessions for the drivers to navigate, with uncomfortable conditions expected at the track.

Here is how you can catch Friday and Saturday morning's action in your territory.
