Singapore Grand Prix delayed as torrential rain hits circuit flooding pit lane

The start of the Singapore Grand Prix has been delayed by adverse weather and the formation lap will now take place at 2.05pm.

Heavy weekend downpours plagued both practice and qualifying, and further torrential rain had flooded the pit lane. However, it has now been confirmed that the race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit will get underway just over an hour later than scheduled.

F1 reporter Chris Medland tweeted earlier: "If the FIA radar is correct, we’ve still got worse rain to come and the pit straight is already flooded. Starting to look very unlikely that this starts on time, even an hour out."
