Singapore has been part of the F1 racing calendar since 2008, due to the demanding layout of the track, the races held under the lights are very popular with spectators, and slightly less enthusiastic with the drivers, as it is one of the most physically and mentally demanding races of the season , which takes almost two hours with its 61 laps.

Pirelli has released a list of tire variants that will bring them to the next three races. In both Singapore and Japan, the tires will remain the same, while Russia has opted differently.

Right turn 11 remains, but will be relocated to be closer to the left side of Fullerton Road. Compared to 2014, this will mean slightly lower cornering speeds. Minor changes relate to turn 12, from which racers will enter the Anderson Bridge on the left, and then head for turn 200 at 13km / h, which is similar to how fast it was last year. The latter bend will increase by one meter, allowing more overtaking.
