Race control has announced that the start of the Sprint at the Singapore Grand Prix has been delayed.
The final Sprint of the season was set to begin at 17:00 local time (10:00 GMT) in Singapore.
With around 10-15 minutes to go until the start of the Sprint, it suddenly began to rain hard at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Now, the start has been delayed for the second consecutive weekend. Last Sunday, the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia was also delayed due to wet conditions.
It is because of the large amount of standing water in Turns 2 and 3. However, in other parts of the circuit, the track is completely dry.

The next inspection is planned at 17:05 local time (10:05 GMT).
