How the Weekend Unfolded
Verstappen won the Sprint on Saturday, 10 October, and later that day he took pole for the Grand Prix with a 1:31.373, 0.054s ahead of Leclerc (1:31.427) and 0.123s ahead of Hamilton (1:31.496), according to the official qualifying results page. Hamilton finished second in the Sprint, 2.591s behind, with Leclerc third, per the FIA’s final Sprint classification (Document 66).
Singapore GP counted 301,294 people across the 2026 weekend and called it a sell-out. The organiser said that was the second-highest attendance on record and the highest since the track change in 2023. For context, it counted 300,641 across the 2025 weekend.
What Comes Next
Tickets and dates for the next Singapore Grand Prix will be announced on Singapore GP’s official website and in the Singapore GP app.

Chivas Regal Screened the Race
Ended Sun 11 Oct.
Chivas Regal ran race-viewing parties, each one built around Chivas Regal 18 bottle packages. Inspired by its partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP and global ambassador Charles Leclerc, the brand invited fans to watch over a bottle package or order race-day serves by the glass, such as the Chivas 18 Highball and the Leclerc Spritz.
Every order came with a ticket for a chance to win one of ten prize sets, which include Chivas Regal x Scuderia Ferrari HP clothing and accessories. The grand prize is every item plus a bottle of Chivas Regal 18.
Ollie Bearman Hit Orchard Road
Five days before the Grand Prix, a current F1 driver turned up at a pet brand’s pop-up. Ollie Bearman is the young British driver who debuted as a Ferrari stand-in in 2024 and now races for Haas. He appeared at VETRESKA‘s motorsport-themed pop-up at ION Orchard on Tuesday, 6 October 2026.
The pop-up ran from 3 to 11 October at L1 Outdoor, ION2, with racetrack-themed photo walls. VETRESKA launched its Circuit Collection of motorsport-inspired pet accessories in Singapore there.
For Zone 4 ticket holders, the date mattered more than the merch. That pass keeps you out of the pit-side and driver areas at Marina Bay, so a mall appearance was the best shot at getting near a driver during race week.
The pop-up was part of Live the Race, ION Orchard’s race-season programme from 15 September to 13 October. The other stop was the VISA x TUDOR x HUGO space in the L1 Atrium from 1 to 11 October, where the payment network, the Swiss watchmaker, and the fashion label teamed up again.
Russell and Antonelli Landed at adidas on 8 October
Ended Thu 8 Oct.
Five City Malls Went Racing
CapitaLand’s Race To Indulgence 2026: The City Edition turned five city-centre malls into a race-season trail that ran until Sunday, 11 October 2026. Bugis Town (Bugis Junction and Bugis+), CQ @ Clarke Quay, Funan, Plaza Singapura, and Raffles City Singapore each had their own pop-ups, plus F1 experiences and shopping and dining rewards to win.
Funan had the car. Audi and adidas brought the R26 F1 show car there with interactive activities. INNERDRIVE 2026 powered by MEURAKI set up there as well, and at Plaza Singapura it added meet-and-greets with Singapore athletes.
Raffles City Singapore had the adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team pop-up and its Singapore-exclusive Vanda Bloom collection. In the same mall, Breitling ran a racing simulator and a reaction challenge, plus a driver meet-and-greet. Bugis Town’s official F1 merchandise pop-ups stocked Mercedes AMG, Red Bull Racing, and Ferrari gear; the store at Bugis Junction’s Fountain Square stayed open until 12 October, a day after the rest of the trail ended.
Funan and Raffles City Singapore both sit by City Hall MRT station, which put the show car and the Mercedes pop-up on one walk. Breitling’s pop-up had a driver meet-and-greet, with Fernando Alonso appearing there on Wednesday 7 October, 5pm to 7pm.
The F1 Exhibition
The F1 Exhibition in Singapore runs until Sunday, 18 October, with immersive displays and interactive exhibits for all ages.
It’s the best pick here for families whose kids are too young for a late night at Marina Bay.
Singapore’s First Sprint Weekend
Formula 1 put Singapore on its 2026 Sprint calendar, so this was the first Sprint weekend at Marina Bay. A Sprint is a shorter race with its own championship points, which meant two races counted: the Sprint on Saturday, 10 October and the Grand Prix on Sunday, 11 October. Friday had the weekend’s one practice session.
The street circuit’s walls make overtaking hard, so grid position tends to decide the podium, and Verstappen turned pole into the win. The Sprint’s results are above under How the Weekend Unfolded.
Pick Your Zone, Then Pay
Ended Sun 11 Oct.
This is how the 2026 passes worked.
The circuit park is split into Zones 1 to 4, and the zone on your ticket decides where you can go. We laid out the same split for the 2023 race, and it still holds: Zone 4 Walkabout covers one zone, and Premier Walkabout covers all four.
Zone 4 Walkabout is the entry-level pass, with standing room on general-admission platforms in Zone 4. The Padang Stage and the other Zone 4 stages come with it. Checkpoints turn you back before Turn 1, though, and the Wharf Stage, F1 Village, and free Singapore Flyer rides aren’t included.
Premier Walkabout opens all four zones. You get raised platforms near the first and last corners, at pit entry and exit, and at Turn 5, plus the Wharf Stage, F1 Village, and Flyer rides.
Walkabout crowding was the biggest gripe in 2025 Reddit threads from fans who went. Get to your platform hours before the session and chope your spot (Singlish for saving a place, traditionally with a packet of tissues).
Your zone is locked in the moment you pay, and no amount of charm at a checkpoint will change it.
The App Rules Nobody Reads
These were the 2026 ticket terms in the Singapore GP app. Next year’s may differ, so check the terms when tickets go on sale.
Your ticket lives in the Singapore GP app, and nowhere else. Screenshots and printouts get turned away, and it’s one ticket per person per day. The terms allow no re-admission in the final hour before the park closes.
Transfers are a one-way street. Once a friend accepts your ticket, it disappears from your app, and nobody can pass it on after it’s been scanned at entry. Tickets can’t be refunded or changed once confirmed, including those from official resellers such as Pelago. The terms make no exception for a session that’s red-flagged or cut short by a thunderstorm. Pack the poncho.
Stick to Singapore GP’s website or authorised resellers, because fake F1 tickets turn up on Carousell and Facebook. The in-app transfer is the one legitimate way to hand over a ticket. A seller offering you a screenshot is a scammer.
The Music and the Food
Every race ticket came with concerts, and for plenty of fans the stages pulled as hard as the cars. The 2026 concert line-up and the after-parties have a home of their own in our concerts piece.
Race week spilled well beyond Marina Bay. The race-week eating, shopping and city promotions are rounded up in our food-and-city guide.
Dive deeper. Race season began on Orchard Road: BABYMONSTER Gave 600m of Orchard Road Its F1 Main Character Moment, Doughnuts and All is our report from the adidas street takeover of 29 and 30 August. For the engineering side, Motul 2714E: 9 Months and 40 Tests for a Gear Oil Only McLaren Can Use explains the oil made for one team’s gearbox. And if it is the shoe you are after, Where to Get the S$129 Black Orchid Samba Jane BABYMONSTER Got First has the price and the stores.
Frequently asked questions
Which MRT station is nearest the Singapore Grand Prix circuit?
It depends on your zone. The Padang side of Zone 4 is a short walk from City Hall MRT on the North-South and East-West Lines. LTA’s 4 September release lists the nearest station for each gate: Gate 1, Nicoll Highway; Gate 2, Promenade; Gates 3A, 3B and 7, City Hall or Esplanade; Gates 4, 5 and 6, Raffles Place; Gate 8, Bayfront. Your ticket shows your gate.
