Formula 1 heads to the iconic Marina Bay Street Circuit for the final round of the triple header — and Singapore could have plenty in store. It's one of F1's most spectacular and recognisable tracks, but does the racing actually live up to the setting?

In this week’s Everything Trackside, we take a proper look back at the Spanish Grand Prix and spend a  lot  of time asking how F1 managed to make such a big new event feel so underwhelming.
