The2025 Singapore Grand Prix (officially known as theFormula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025) was aFormula One motor race held on 5 October 2025 at theMarina Bay Street Circuit inMarina Bay,Singapore. It was the eighteenth round of the2025 Formula One World Championship.George Russell ofMercedes converted his pole position into a win, ahead ofRed Bull'sMax Verstappen andMcLaren'sLando Norris.
McLaren won its tenth Constructors' Championship at this event, and second in a row; this marked the first time McLaren had won consecutive Constructors' Championships since1991, and the first Singapore Grand Prix to feature the crowning of aWorld Constructors' Champion. This was also the first Singapore Grand Prix to not feature a retirement.[3]
The top five remained unchanged for both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship, with Norris reducing his points deficit to 22 points behind championship leaderOscar Piastri. Defending champion Verstappen remained third, a further 41 points behind. In the fight for second place in the Constructors' Standings, Mercedes extended the gap to 27 points over Ferrari, who were seven points clear from fourth-placed Red Bull following McLaren's successful title defense, as they secured their second consecutive Constructors' title, and their tenth overall.
The event was held at theMarina Bay Street Circuit inMarina Bay for the 16th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 3–5 October.[4] The Grand Prix was the eighteenth round of the2025 Formula One World Championship and the 16th running of theSingapore Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship.[5]
Going into the weekend,Oscar Piastri led theDrivers' Championship with 324 points, 25 points ahead of teammateLando Norris in second and 69 ahead ofMax Verstappen in third.McLaren, with 634 points, led theConstructors' Championship ahead ofMercedes andFerrari, who were second and third with 290 and 286 points, respectively.[6]
World Constructors' Championship leader McLaren had an opportunity to secure its tenth title at this event, and their second in a row. With seven rounds remaining in the season, a maximum of 346 points could still be scored. McLaren had an opportunity to secure the title if they scored just 13 points, regardless of where either Mercedes or Ferrari finished. As such, winning the race or scoring a podium with one of their drivers would secure the title; if either prerequisite was not met, both drivers would at least need to finish above the mentioned teams to do so. Mercedes would need to outscore McLaren by 31 points, and Ferrari by 35, to disallow them from achieving the title in this event.Red Bull had already been eliminated from contention, for the second season in a row, following the precedingAzerbaijan Grand Prix.[7]
The drivers and teams were the same as published in the season entry list with two exceptions;[8]Yuki Tsunoda atRed Bull Racing held the seat originally held byLiam Lawson before Lawson was demoted back toRacing Bulls from theJapanese Grand Prix onward,[9] andFranco Colapinto replacedJack Doohan atAlpine from theEmilia Romagna Grand Prix onward until at least theAustrian Grand Prix on a rotating seat basis.[10] Before the race atSpielberg, it was confirmed that Colapinto would retain his seat with the team, effectively on a race-by-race basis.[11]
Tyre supplierPirelli brought the C3, C4 and C5 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[12]
The pit lane was widened by one metre; as such, the pit lane speed limit was increased from 60 km/h (37 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).[13]
Ahead of the weekend, theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) received a forecast predicting that the heat index would be greater than 31 °C (88 °F) at some time during the race. As a result, the FIA declared a "heat hazard"; in these conditions, teams may either equip their drivers with cooling systems, with the minimum weight limit being raised by 5 kilograms (11 lb) to compensate for the equipment, or add additional 0.5 kilograms (1 lb) of ballast in the cockpit.[14] This change was introduced in 2025 to prevent driver overheating, as observed during the2023 Qatar Grand Prix.[15]
Threefree practice sessions were held for the event.[1] The first free practice session was held on 3 October 2025, at 17:30 local time (UTC+8),[1] and was topped byFernando Alonso ahead ofCharles Leclerc andMax Verstappen.Alexander Albon had a brake fire early into the session, which meant he did not set any time.[16]
The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 21:00 local time,[1] and was topped byOscar Piastri ahead ofIsack Hadjar and Verstappen. The session was affected by a red flag afterGeorge Russell hit the wall at turns 16–17, breaking his front wing. Another red flag occurred shortly after the session resumed, withLiam Lawson crashing his car after hitting the wall at turn 16 and stopping at the pit entrance.[17] Leclerc was released from the pit lane early and crashed with Norris, damaging the front wing on the McLaren. Ferrari were fined €10,000 as a result.[18] The third practice session was held on 4 October 2025, at 17:30 local time,[1] and was topped by Verstappen ahead of Piastri and Russell. A red flag was observed due to Lawson losing the car at turn 7, sending him into the wall.[19]
Qualifying was held on 4 October 2025, at 21:00 local time (UTC+8), and determined the starting grid order for the race.[1]
George Russell took pole position for the race, driving forMercedes, his second pole of the 2025 season.Max Verstappen qualified in second, and Drivers' Championship leaderOscar Piastri qualified in third.[20]Williams driversAlex Albon andCarlos Sainz qualified in 12th and 13th initially, but after an investigation post-qualifying, they were both disqualified for breaching the technical regulations.[21]
