Max Verstappen finally has a win in 2026, but he has little time to enjoy it. He beat championship leader Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton at a storm-delayed Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, Red Bull's first victory of the year, and Formula 1 now moves to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the Singapore Grand Prix. This time there is a twist, because Singapore hosts its first-ever Sprint. Antonelli's lead is now 84 points over Mercedes teammate George Russell, so the extra points on offer could matter. The weekend runs from October 9 to 11, and the Grand Prix starts at 5:30pm IST on Sunday, October 11, live on FanCode. Here is the full F1 Singapore GP 2026 schedule in IST, including Sprint Qualifying, the Sprint and qualifying, and where to watch it live in India.
