SINGAPORE The bumpy track has been changed since last year, due to construction work, with the 23 corners reduced to 19 and lap times set to be some 10 seconds lower as average speeds rise.

The hot and humid night race is one of the season's biggest physical challenges. Drivers can lose 3kg of weight during the race through sweating. Sunday’s race is the 14th in Singapore since its debut in 2008.

Three current drivers have won there -- Fernando Alonso (2008, 2010), Lewis Hamilton (2009, 2014, 2017, 2018) and Perez (2022). Mercedes and Red Bull have won four times each, Ferrari three. Ferrari, in 2019, had the first one-two in Singapore.

Hamilton has been on pole four times. The race has been won from pole position on eight occasions. The lowest winning grid position is 15th for Alonso in a now-notorious 2008 race in which Brazilian team mate Nelson Piquet crashed his Renault deliberately on team orders.

The safety car has been used in all 13 editions so far. WINS

Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won the last 10 races, a record run. The Dutch driver has won 12 of 14 races this season. He has 47 wins from 177 starts and is fifth on the all-time list. Alain Prost, with 51, is fourth.

Red Bull have won every race this year (Verstappen's haul and two for Perez) and 15 in a row dating back to Abu Dhabi last year. They have also won 24 of the last 25. Red Bull have had six one-two finishes in 2023, a team record.

No team has ever won every race in a season of more than 10 races. Hamilton has a record 103 victories from 324 starts but has not won since Saudi Arabia in December 2021.

Aston Martin's Alonso has 32 wins, most recently in Spain in 2013 with Ferrari, from a record 369 starts. POLE POSITION

Hamilton has a record 104 poles. Red Bull have been on pole 10 times this season. Leclerc took the top slot in Azerbaijan and Belgium, Hamilton in Hungary and Carlos Sainz in Italy. Verstappen has eight poles for 2023.

PODIUM Six teams and 10 drivers have made a podium appearance this season: Red Bull, Alpine, Aston Martin, McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari. Verstappen has yet to finish below second.

Verstappen holds the record for most podiums in a season -- 18 in 2021. He has been on the podium for the past 15 races. Michael Schumacher is the only driver ever to have finished on the podium in every race of a season, in 2002.

POINTS Verstappen leads Perez by 145 points.

FASTEST LAPS Seven different drivers have taken fastest laps this season - Alonso, Alfa Romeo's Guanyu Zhou, Verstappen (6), Perez (2), Hamilton (2), Mercedes' George Russell and McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

Piastri's fastest lap at Monza was the first of his F1 career. MILESTONE

Perez will be starting his 250th grand prix, only the 11th driver to reach that number. If Verstappen wins, it will be the 24th different circuit at which he has triumphed -- one more than Schumacher managed. Only Hamilton has won at more tracks (31).
