It starts at 3:05 p.m.!
New information – this time for real! The pit lane opens at 2:25 p.m. and the normal procedure follows from there. That means it doesn’t start until 3:05 p.m. By then it will probably be dry enough for slicks again…
By the way: The time has now come for you, ours Session ticker with Norman Fischer to open. Only there is the complete coverage of the race, here we limit ourselves to the most important information, pictures and voices.
It’s best to just let both tickers run in parallel. And if you want to know how to watch Formula 1 live stream in Singapore, then you will find out here!
When does the clock start?
A Formula 1 race (including interruptions) may last a maximum of three hours. That is stipulated in the rules. But when does the clock start? From the planned start of the race (2:00 p.m.) or the actual one?
Opinions are currently divided on that. In other words, we don’t yet know how long we’ll be sitting here today. However, the rain has since subsided. So looks pretty good!
More delay
The information at 13:45 is that there is new information at 13:55. So the old salami tactics… The safety car is definitely on the track at the moment to check the conditions again.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to wait.

“If you are in front and then set the pace correctly, then you can [einem] Actually, the victory can no longer be taken,” says Marko, who is pushing the role of favorites in the direction of Ferrari and Leclerc.
More at 1:45 p.m
We still have no information on when it will start. At 1:30 p.m., the race control just gave out the short message that there should be more information in 15 minutes – i.e. at 1:45 p.m.
We keep waiting.
Start is delayed
And now we also have the confirmation: The start will be delayed, so the pit lane will not open at 1:20 p.m. There is no new start time yet, we are waiting for an update.
Vettel: “Pace not so bad”
The rain could help Sebastian Vettel, among others, to get a little ahead. “We have to see that we can somehow get past the crowd or get some fresh air at some point in the race,” he explains on ‘Sky’.
“And then, I think, our pace shouldn’t be that bad,” said Vettel. And of course the rain could help. Incidentally, the safety car has just checked the conditions. Let’s put it this way: I wouldn’t currently assume a punctual start …
