Marina Bay Street Circuit
Singapore is one of the toughest challenges on the calendar for drivers due to the intense humidity and physically demanding nature of the circuit.
But this time round the drivers will have had a chance to get used to the humid conditions after racing in Malaysia for the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend.
The Marina Bay Circuit has been on the calendar since 2008 and is one of the standout tracks. The race takes place at night with its breathtaking views of the city's skyline as cars make their way through the tight and twisty circuit.
Drivers can lose around 3kg in body weight after each race due to the amount they sweat.

What happened last time out?
Russell claimed pole position in Singapore last year and crossed the line 0.182 seconds clear of Red Bull's Verstappen, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri behind.
Russell took his second win of the season, but there was plenty of other drama during the race, especially at McLaren.
Norris, who started in fifth, knocked into Piastri when trying to pass him in the first corner. Piastri managed to gain some ground towards the end of the race, but he had to settle for fourth on the day McLaren lifted the trophy for the constructors' title.
Piastri's drivers' championship lead to Norris was separated by only 22 points with six races left of the season.
Who will win this year?
One to watch this weekend is Red Bull and Verstappen after he won the race last weekend. The team brought major upgrades two races ago and improvements to its overall performance has been evident.
Russell, who suffered a major blow to his championship hopes after retiring last time out, will be looking to maximise the points on offer across the weekend.
Mercedes are expected to be strong, while Ferrari are quick in cornering speed. Hamilton has won four times here, so could be a threat. McLaren's Norris and Piastri fell under the radar and struggled for pace in Malaysia.
All will be to play for under the lights in Singapore as we head into the business end of the season.
