Singapore Grand Prix entertainment may be curbed if haze worsens, FIA says

“Air quality levels are being monitored by the relevant local authorities, and appropriate contingency measures are in place,” said the spokesperson.

The FIA did not give a threshold for when plans affecting entertainment and other outdoor activity would be activated.

The spokesperson said they were following recommendations from local authorities and working closely with them to safeguard the health of F1 teams. 

Singapore’s National Environment Agency and tourism board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Wednesday evening, the environment agency’s haze update said: “Under the prevailing southeasterly to southerly winds, smoke haze from these areas may continue to drift towards Singapore.”

In 2019, when haze was similarly in the “unhealthy” range during the Singapore Grand Prix, organisers had first aid help on standby and made N95 masks available to those who needed them.
