0: As surprising as it may seem, Max Verstappen has never won in Singapore. His best result is a second place in 2019.
1: During its first edition in 2008, the Marina Bay circuit became the first in history to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix taking place entirely at night.

13: Like the number of editions of the Singapore Grand Prix held since 2008. The 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
