Singapore Airlines has extended its support of the Formula
1 Singapore Airlines Grand Prix for two more years, until 2021.
The Singapore Grand
Prix is one of Formula 1’s premier racing events as drivers race
through the Marina Bay Circuit, a street track against the city's
famous skyline as its spectacular backdrop.
SIA first
signed as Title Sponsor in 2014 for four years and subsequently
extended it for two years, through the 2019 race. Now the airline
has extended its sponsorship for another two years.
Formula 1 Chairman and CEO, Chase Carey, said, “We are very pleased that Singapore Airlines
will continue to be the title sponsor for the Singapore Grand Prix
until 2021. Singapore Airlines has been working closely with
Formula 1 at the Marina Bay Circuit since 2014 and during that
time we have seen brilliant races under the lights of an amazing
circuit. As one of the premier events on the race calendar, loved
by the fans and drivers, it is a perfect fit for us to work
alongside the national airline of Singapore. We are looking
forward to this year’s race that should, if the past eleven years
is anything to go by, provide an amazing spectacle and a
physically demanding race for the drivers.”
The Marina Bay
Circuit spans 5.063km with 23 corners, a bumpy street surface,
tight corners and humid conditions. The circuit also boasts some
of the most unique features of any track on the F1 calendar,
including Turn 18, which sees the drivers pass underneath a
grandstand.
SIA CEO, Goh Choon Phong, said, “The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand
Prix is a major event in Singapore’s sporting calendar, drawing
huge crowds to view the exhilarating Night Race and associated
entertainment line-ups. We are pleased to be continuing as title
sponsor, and helping to further enhance both sports and tourism
for the benefit of Singaporeans and visitors alike.”
