Session start times verified against the official F1 timetable on August 11, 2026. Times can change — this page reflects the last verified schedule and updates automatically when it does.

What time does the Singapore GP finish?

The Singapore GP is scheduled to finish at approximately 14:00 UTC — about two hours after the 12:00 UTC start. F1 races run to the lesser of 305 km or two hours of racing, so most last around 1h45–2h of green-flag running; a red flag or repeated safety cars can push the finish later, and the FIA caps total race time at three hours. In the UK and Ireland that is roughly 3:00 PM BST, and on the US East Coast about 10:00 AM EDT. Treat it as a planning estimate — take the exact start time above and add roughly two hours.
