Max Verstappen's dominance of the 2022 Formula One world championship has seen him take a 116-point championship lead into the final six races.

Although unlikely – especially with Verstappen starting eighth and Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc on the front row – it is possible for him to win the championship if things go his way this weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Circuit.

When is it?

The 2022 Singapore Grand Prix takes place from Friday September 30 until Sunday October 2.

What time does it start?

With Friday practice done and dusted and qualifying over, that just leaves the Singapore Grand Prix itself on Sunday.

That begins at 1pm BST on Sunday.

What TV channel is it on?

Sky Sports F1 have near-exclusive live coverage rights in the UK this year and indeed for the next few with their usual excellent team.

Sky's qualifying program starts at 1pm on Saturday with their race coverage at 11.30am on Sunday.

Channel 4 also have extended highlights coverage this year, with their qualifying show starting at 7.15pm on Saturday with their race highlights program at 6.30pm on Sunday.

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.

What are the latest odds?

  • Charles Leclerc 5/4

  • Max Verstappen 2/1

  • Lewis Hamilton 10/3

  • Sergio Perez 10/1

  • Carlos Sainz 16/1

  • George Russell 66/1
