Overview

• The FIA confirmed an 80 kph limit for Singapore after the Marina Bay pit lane was widened by one metre and its surface repaired.
• Under the previous 60 kph cap, pit stops cost about 25 seconds, so the higher limit is expected to make additional stops more viable.
• Overtaking remains difficult at Marina Bay, and changeable weather forecasts could still push teams toward conservative approaches.
• Pirelli has nominated the C3–C4–C5 compounds for the weekend, shaping how teams balance pace and durability.
• The adjustment follows a similar increase at Zandvoort earlier this year, indicating a selective, case-by-case rollout.
