WEEKEND WARM-UP: F1 set to go racing under the floodlights again as Singapore returns

Singapore plays host to the 16th round of the 2022 Formula 1 season as the sport heads back to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the first time in three years.

With the Covid-19 pandemic ruling out visits in 2020 and 2021, the venue is back on the calendar this year as part of a double header sequence with Suzuka and the Japanese Grand Prix.

The weekend will see Max Verstappen get his first opportunity to secure the 2022 title and make it back-to-back championship wins, but can Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc do anything to delay the party?
