The organiser of the Formula One's Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix has stressed that it is ready to deal with the haze.

A spokesman told media that it has been closely monitoring the situation in case it worsens as race day looms.

The Singapore Grand Prix is scheduled to be held from Friday to Sunday.

A spokesman told The Straits Times: "In the event that the haze causes visibility, public health or operational issues, Singapore GP would work closely with the relevant agencies before making any collective decisions regarding the event."

The night race at the Singapore Grand Prix is the 13th race of the 2015 season.

The festive atmosphere, the opportunity to mingle with like-minded fans, and the sound of the cars racing down the tarmac are just some of the reasons the Singapore Grand Prix draws hordes of Formula One fans to the tracks.
