Singapore is dealing with 'unhealthy' air quality due to wildfire smoke from Indonesia ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend. The haze has left the city shrouded in fog, prompting the National Environment Agency to issue warnings. Despite concerns, the FIA states there is no threat to race visibility, although they have contingency plans for outdoor activities. Rain may provide relief, as showers are forecast on Friday and Saturday. Organizers are monitoring the situation and may offer masks to the expected 300,000 attendees over the event's three days.
