The stunning nighttime skyline of Marina Bay is set to be the dramatic setting for a key race this Sunday, as title contenders Lando Norris and Max Verstappen go head-to-head at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Verstappen is eager to dispel the growing concern surrounding his title defense, as he has not claimed a victory since his win in Spain in June. This winless streak has allowed Norris to chip away at Verstappen’s lead in the Drivers Championship, which now stands at a precarious 59 points. Norris is in an advantageous position as he starts from pole for the upcoming race.
The main event will kick off on Sunday, September 22, at 7:55 p.m. Singapore Time, which corresponds to 12:55 p.m. British Summer Time, 7:55 a.m. ET, 4:55 a.m. PT in North America, and 9:55 p.m. AEST in Australia. The race will take place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, covering areas of Downtown Core and Kallang in the city. In the United States, the race will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN Plus.
Fans looking to follow the entire race weekend, including practice and qualifying, can tune into ESPN’s various TV and streaming platforms. Viewers will need access to channels such as ABC and ESPN or utilize live TV streaming services for comprehensive coverage.
Last weekend, Norris finished fourth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, one position ahead of Verstappen, further intensifying the competition.
In the U.S., ESPN Plus offers a reliable way to catch F1 races, costing $11 per month or $110 annually. While ESPN Plus shows a majority of the season’s races, it may not always include every practice or qualifying session. For serious fans, bundling ESPN Plus with Disney Plus and Hulu may provide added value, especially for those who enjoy a variety of entertainment options.
