F1 Singapore Grand Prix - Friday Practice - LIVE UPDATES
F1 returns after a mini-break following the final European race of the season at Monza
Max Verstappen could win his second title this weekend as F1 returns to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Verstappen is gunning for his 12th victory of the season, which would put him one shy of the record - 13 - set by Michael Schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (2013).
F1 returns to Singapore for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Friday practice kicks off at 11am UK time, while second practice is at 2pm UK time.
