Go behind the scenes at the venue of the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, where thousands of people are working tirelessly to create a street circuit in Marina Bay.
Even as the chequered flag was waved and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez’s winning car, Number 11, from Garage 11, crossed the finish line at the 11th second after 11:11pm in October 2022, work for the 2023 Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix had already begun.
New grandstands have been introduced to mitigate some of the overall reduction in capacity due to the closure of the Bay Grandstand as part of the redevelopment of The Float @ Marina Bay.Putting together a street circuit in the middle of a city involves a detailed plan and months of preparation. With the system comprising 108.4km of power cables and 240 steel pylons, its set-up is not the work of a moment.
Depending on the area of responsibility assigned, each marshal can expect to clock a minimum of 32 hours’ training. Singapore has one of the highest marshal retention rates and number of female marshals among the F1 circuits. For every edition of the event, the marshals' training sessions give the new volunteers a good grounding in the requirements, protocols, and regulations in their respective roles. The training also serves as a refresher to the returning marshals.
