Formula 1 confirms their 2023 calendar will feature 23 races instead of the planned 24. The Formula One season is set to begin on March 3rd in Bahrain and conclude on November 26th in Abu Dhabi – leaving one significant gap due to the Chinese Grand Prix’s cancellation earlier this year.

Singapore GP track changes for 2023

The circuit for the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix is set to be drastically different from its predecessor, with an alteration of the track layout removing a section along the marina and cutting a whopping twenty seconds off the lap time.

Notably, this was where Nelson Piquet Jr famously crashed back in 2008 during that dramatic race that saw Fernando Alonso as the victor. But fans will now look forward to considerable straights and long flat-out sections at breakneck speeds before reaching hairpin chicanes.

The upcoming Formula 1 race will be cut short by two laps, reducing the total from 63 to 61. If FIA approval is granted, drivers will have a shorter course when they hit the track this season – and look forward to returning back to normal in 2024.
