Whilst being stuck into the live action can get the blood pumping, we’re all about the partying after. Singapore goes nuts for F1 weekend and we want to be right in the middle of all the off-track action. As per usual, extravagant after-parties will be hosted around the city centre to entertain us with three nights of fun.
