The Marina Bay Street Circuit was buzzing with energy this past weekend as the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024 drew in a sold-out crowd of 269,072.
With fans filling every inch of the revamped circuit (thanks to last year’s redevelopment of the Bay Grandstand) this year’s attendance hit a record high.
On track, Lando Norris secured his first-ever Singapore win, and his third win this season thus far. Defending champion Max Verstappen’s Red Bull took the runner up position, followed by the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
Oscar Piastri, who started fifth, fought his way to third, ensuring a double podium for McLaren. This, combined with a lacklustre finish for Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, meant McLaren extended their lead over Red Bull in the constructors’ standings.
Beyond the adrenaline on the track, the weekend has been a sensory overload for fans.
Tens of thousands soaked up performances by top global acts like OneRepublic, Kylie Minogue, Disclosure (DJ), Thirty Seconds to Mars, The Corrs, Kool & The Gang, HONNE, BABYMONSTER, Lenny Kravitz and Tones & I.
And if you’re already thinking ahead to next year, the Super Early Bird (SEB) tickets for 2025, which dropped just two days ago, have already sold out. Unsurprisingly, in record time.
Missed your chance? Don’t worry. More tickets in select categories will be available under the Early Bird phase starting 1 October at www.singaporegp.sg. If the Singapore Grand Prix 2024 is anything to go by, next year’s race will be equally as exciting.
