Singapore’s F1 season is back, and Marina Bay Sands is going all in.
From Ferrari displays and racing-inspired cocktails to rooftop parties and big-name DJs, the integrated resort is turning race season into a full-on after-dark experience.
Whether you’re there for the cars, the food, the parties or simply the excuse for a weekend in Singapore, here’s what’s happening.
Ferrari Has Taken Over Marina Bay Sands
First up, there’s some serious eye candy for F1 fans.
A Ferrari SF21 show car will be on display at the Tower 1 Hotel Lobby, while a Ferrari Testa Rossa J takes over The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
Both will be on display from 14 September to 12 October, giving visitors a chance to get up close with Ferrari’s racing legacy and, obviously, take plenty of photos.
There’s also Asia’s first Ferrari Lifestyle pop-up, running from 25 September to 25 October, featuring Ferrari ready-to-wear, accessories and collectibles.
And because apparently the cars weren’t enough, Marina Bay Sands will light up its skyline in Ferrari red every evening until 11 October, from 7pm to midnight.
Lewis Hamilton’s Brands Are Making Their Southeast Asian Debut
Hamilton fans, take note.
From 5 to 11 October, a limited-time +44 pop-up will land at The Shoppes, featuring the brand’s streetwear and an exclusive capsule collection created with Singaporean artist Jahan Loh.
Meanwhile, Almave, the non-alcoholic agave spirit co-founded by Hamilton, will make its Southeast Asian debut at Marina Bay Sands.
It will also be part of the resort’s Zero Edit programme, which focuses on premium alcohol-free drinks.
One drink to look out for? The Lewis, made with Almave Blanco, prickly pear, yuzu and shiso.
Basically, proof that skipping alcohol doesn’t mean settling for boring drinks.
The F1 Party Doesn’t Stop When The Race Ends
If you’re more interested in what happens after the chequered flag, Marina Bay Sands has plenty going on.
MARQUEE Singapore is bringing in a seriously stacked lineup for race weekend, including Diplo, Anyma and Martin Garrix.
And yes, Anyma’s appearance marks the artist’s Singapore debut.
For something a little more laid-back, rooftop spots like LAVO Singapore and Spago Bar & Lounge offer cocktails and skyline views before you head into the late-night chaos.
Basically, you can go from sunset drinks to a full-blown DJ set without leaving Marina Bay Sands.
Even The Cocktails Are Getting An F1 Makeover
Race season has also made its way onto the drinks menu.
At Mott 32, the Ginger Grid combines kirsch, pistachio, egg white and ginger for a cocktail that’s bold enough to match the F1 energy.
And if you’re going alcohol-free, there’s The Lewis, created around Almave with bright citrus and fruity notes.
Because apparently, the real competition this October isn’t just happening on the track.
Want Something More Chill? There’s That Too
After a weekend of engines, crowds and questionable sleep schedules, Marina Bay Sands is also offering ways to slow things down.
Its Earth Series wellness programme includes Friday evening Gong and Sound Bath sessions beside the ArtScience Museum’s Rain Oculus, as well as Tai Chi classes.
So yes, you can technically spend the same weekend watching F1, partying until late and doing Tai Chi the next morning.
Balance.
