The FIA says outdoor entertainment linked to this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix may face “some restrictions” if the wildfire haze worsening over the city-state pushes air quality further into hazardous levels. The race itself is not expected to be curtailed.
Multiple outlets report Singapore has been blanketed in smoke for weeks, with current air quality described as “unhealthy” ahead of the F1 night race. Coverage links the haze to large-scale wildfires in neighbouring Indonesia and notes it has coincided with a busy period as regional leaders and other visitors attend events.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on the possibility of limiting non-race activities (such as outdoor programming) rather than changing the race schedule, while others underscore broader causes, including El Niño-related weather patterns. A common theme is that organisers are monitoring pollution conditions closely as the Grand Prix approaches.
