Formula 1 will keep racing in Singapore until 2028

 

Formula 1 will keep racing in the Marina Bay street circuit after it made a new deal to keep the Singapore gp until 2028.

The Singapore GP, a firm F1 favourite since debuting its night race in 2008, has had to be cancelled in the last two years due to the coronavirus pandemic and, even though it was included on this season's calendar, that was despite not having a contract for 2022.

"The Marina Bay Street Circuit hosted the first night race in F1 history in 2008, and Singapore has continued to thrill fans, teams, and drivers ever since," said F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali.

"Singapore holds a special place on the F1 calendar, and this extension is part of our long-term commitment to continue to grow the sport in Asia."

He added: "The plans that are in place to reduce the carbon footprint of the event are impressive and align with our plans to be Net Zero Carbon as a sport by 2030 and I look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Singapore GP and the Singapore Tourism Board as Formula 1 returns to this incredible city."

The last race in Singapore was held in 2019 where Sebastian Vettel and Scuderia Ferrari won the race taking there last win together and also the most recent win for both Vettel and Ferrari.Vettel is the most successful driver on this circuit having 5 wins on his name.
