Marina Bay Street Circuit

Nevertheless, I want to talk about obviously the racing action from Sunday now from the race.

First and foremost, I think we should start with our race winner, Max Verstappen, who has now, and I'm sure this is the thing that makes him absolutely the happiest over this weekend, forget the race win, that's aside, he has now officially led more laps than Antonio Giovinazzi around the Marina Bay circuit, which probably brings a great smile to his face.

He got his 50th Grand Prix pole this weekend on his 250th Grand Prix start.

It is his 73rd career victory and it is, I believe, the 39th time he's converted a pole position into a win.

Temasek Polytechnic has launched a new Formula One simulator to help students learn data analytics.

Students can drive a virtual Marina Bay Street circuit and compare their performance with real-world data from F1 driver Max Verstappen.

The simulator tracks things like speed and steering, allowing students to analyze their lap and see where they can improve.

The new drive lab will be used in classes from April next year and will also be open to visitors during TP's open house in January.

The complication of Formula One these days is overwhelming its ability to cope on a regular basis, particularly when it's something like a triple header in faraway countries.

and we must remember of course that it's in singapore that we had that issue right in the first race in the marina bay circuit of the underground railway a massive power cable somewhere under the hairpin in sector 2 causing electronic glitches in the cars and ever since then the formula one cars have run protecting shields somewhere around the gearbox area to protect them from that And you have to wonder whether or not in 2026 with the battery power units we have now and with all the other sophistication we have with the electronics and the timing system, whether or not there's an issue still going on there and a greater protective barrier perhaps should have been created.

Maybe not.

I'm kind of putting two and two together at the moment and maybe getting five.

And without further ado, let's bring you the details, but first, we have to turn the clock back to Friday the ninth of October on the day of the F1 practice race.

Well, I'm right outside Conrad, Singapore, which is walking distance from the Marina Bay Street Circuit, where F1 races are taking place.

And I'm attending a couple of, uh, media events organized by Lenovo, which is a global technology partner of F1, to find out how the tech solutions giant is bringing the highest level of racing and entertainment to over eight hundred and twenty million fans worldwide.

And nothing beats hearing from an executive from Formula One at a media roundtable.

... solutions all together, and the customer, to your point, using AI library, can implement what they want to do with AI immediately.

After a deep dive into the technologies powering the greatest event of the year, it's time to walk over to the paddock to catch some action.

Okay, we are going to head into the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the event venue.

So I'm just going to wrap up here.

Great to have your company this morning, on this Tuesday morning.

Well, Kimi Antonelli might be too far ahead to catch in the F1 Drivers' Championship, but there does seem to be a bit of a swing back to Red Bull and Max Verstappen, particularly after the weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, where Verstappen won both the sprint and the Grand Prix on the Marina Bay Circuit.

He's got the full set now.

Good weekend, too, for Liam Lawson.
