Ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, the FIA has confirmed a number of changes to the 3.152 mile street circuit.

The track has been resurfaced in various places, the most important being around turn 5 and on the approach to turn 7.

The first and third apex kerbs at turn 10 have been moved slightly in order to 'point' cars further left on the exit of the chicane. The former has been moved right by one metre and the latter left by two metres.

The kerb on the exit of turn 10 has been moved closer to the wall to prevent cars from being able to mount it.

The wall on the exit of turn 21 has been moved slightly closer to the track to cover half of the drain covers.

A new track cleaning machine has been brought in to help prevent any repetition of the dust problems encountered in 2009.
