Singapore Grand Prix 2026: Will the race go on with the haze?
Singapore has been shrouded in smoke for weeks, with air quality staying in the unhealthy range in the days running up to the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix weekend (Oct 9-Oct 11). But even if the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) persists, the engines are set to roar at the Marina Bay circuit."There is absolutely no risk to the event and the conditions where the event is taking place are not at any level of concern," an F1 spokesperson told AsiaOne.Addressing concerns about the haze, race promoter Singapore GP said the possibility of haze is just one of the many potential issues that are covered in the race's overall contingency plans.A Singapore GP spokesperson highlighted that the plan was formulated and refined in consultation with stakeholders and Government agencies to safeguard the health and safety of all involved, while ensuring smooth delivery of the race and race entertainment experience.This, the spokesperson said, includes clear communication across various owned platforms, and ensuring the availability of N95 masks on-site, if required.
