What is the Singapore weather forecast?

Formula 1's governing body has issued its first 'heat hazard' warning for this weekend's 62-lap race.

The event at Marina Bay, which takes place at night, is known for its hot and humid conditions. But with temperatures expected to reach 31C on Sunday, under new regulations, which are not mandatory, drivers can choose to wear an FIA-approved cooling vest.

The grand prix, which starts at 8pm local time, is forecast to be dry throughout.

How can McLaren win the constructors' title?

Singapore presents McLaren with their second opportunity to wrap up the constructors' championship, after the team failed to secure the trophy in Azerbaijan.

To be crowned champions for a 10th time - and with six races still to go - McLaren just need to score 13 points to confirm the title.

Even if McLaren don't manage 13 points, second-placed Mercedes would need to outscore them by 31 points to keep the championship alive, while Ferrari in third need to outscore the leaders by 35 points to mathematically stay in the hunt.
