Haze to loom over Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix
Singapore: Haze could loom over the coming Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix as the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) for the city state is hitting the range of “unhealthy” air quality over the past a few days, local media reported on Monday.
Singapore’s National Environment Agency said that PSI levels were expected to remain in that range this week, and many Formula 1 fans were worried about the impact that haze could impose on the event, reports Xinhua.
Opinions varied among fans in Singapore. Some have decided to be seated in the pit to watch the race with proper precautions as they thought it’s a special opportunity, while some said they will wait to see how the haze situation develops before deciding on their next course of action.
Race promoters Singapore GP previously said haze was one of the “potential issues” covered in its contingency plan. Singapore GP said it would work closely with the relevant agencies before making any collective decisions regarding the event, as haze may cause visibility, public health or operational issues.
Haze also affected the race last year, with the three-hour PSI hitting an unhealthy level in the middle of the race.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
