Singapore Grand Prix officials have consulted with the F1 teams and the FIA for the changes, and now they’ve started working on it.

It’s a work-in-progress and construction is set to start soon.

The Changes

Turn 1

  • Track to be made sharper by relocating the corner apex
  • To have more overtaking
  • Will be a slower corner
  • Kerbs to be installed, to prevent wide turn by drivers

Turn 5

  • Road surfacing work to be carried out to reduce excessive bumps

Turn 6

  • Road surfacing work to be carried out to reduce excessive bumps

Turn 7

  • Road surfacing work to be carried out to reduce excessive bumps
  • The bump smoothed out

Turn 13

  • Will be a faster turn
  • To have more overtaking
  • Car expected to reach speed of 275km/h now

Turns 14

  • Braking zone to be enlarged
  • Reducing corner radius, thus reducing cornering speed
  • Turn will be slower than previously
  • To have more overtaking

Turn 22

  • The runoff to be reduced for spectator sake
  • New spectator facilities to be added here
  • Better spectator circulation

Pitlane Entry/Exit

  • To be revised. F1 car has problem and confusion with the line marker margins
  • A dedicated pitlane entry to be built to reduced the risk of inteference by pitting vehicles for those lapping the track
