Marina Bay is hosting a sprint weekend for the very first time this year.
Sprint qualifying has three sessions, where the six slowest cars are knocked out from the first two – like normal qualifying.
These sessions, known as SQ1, SQ2 and SQ3, and last 12, 10 and eight minutes respectively.
This will make up the grid for the sprint race.
Only the top eight finishers score points, with eight points awarded for first place down to one point for eighth, which will get added to the overall drivers’ championship standings.
