What do we know about the Marina Bay Circuit?

• Circuit length: 5.063km
• First grand prix: 2008
• Laps: 61
• Race distance: 308.706km
• Race lap record: 1.41.905 (Kevin Magnussen, 2018)
• 2019 winner: Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari
• Number of corners: 23
• Overtaking chances:  For a traditional street circuit (and not one of those fake ones like Australia, Canada and Russia) it’s not too bad, but most areas come with some risk; we have seen a lot of misjudged moves and collisions over the years. Don’t expect to see too many of them, though a safety car period could make things interesting.
