October 8, 2026

The Formula 1 season opens its Singapore Grand Prix 2026 activities this Friday (9 October), the 17th round of the year. The weekend at Marina Bay will follow a Sprint format, which shortens the practice schedule to a single session before the first competitive action.

FP1 will take place at 5:30 a.m., Brasília time (GMT-3). Later, at 9:30 a.m., Sprint Qualifying will determine the starting grid for Saturday’s Sprint.
