F1 Singapore 2026: Where to meet your favourite drivers

The F1 Singapore Grand Prix is almost here, and the city is already buzzing. Some of us can’t wait to watch the cars tear around the floodlit Marina Bay Street Circuit, while others are gearing up for the concerts at the Padang from Friday onwards, with JJ Lin, Lana Del Rey, Cortis and Janet Jackson on the line-up.

But if seeing the drivers up close is what you’re really after, you’re in luck. Several of them are making appearances at brand activations around Singapore before race weekend. For instance, Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown will be chatting on stage at McLaren Racing Live at the Sands Theatre on 7 October, while Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris are dropping by the Puma store in Singapore for a meet and greet with the fans. 

That being said, if you’re hoping to catch your favourite drivers in person this October, we’ve listed down some of the important dates and venues you should take note of.

Alex Albon: Quadrant Pop-Up (6 October)

Quadrant, the motorsport, gaming, and lifestyle brand founded by McLaren’s Lando Norris, will be having a special pop-up in Singapore during race week, and they’ve got something special lined up for fans. For the first time ever, the brand will be debuting its first F1 driver collaboration with Atlassian Williams Driver Alex Albon. The collection will be exclusively available at the pop-up located at Bugis+, from 6 to 11 October, and fans can also get a glimpse of Alex Albon in the flash on the 6th at 7.30pm, where he will be doing a quick Q&A session with the fans.

Ollie Bearman: VETRESKA Circuit Collection Pop-Up (6 October) 

Pet lifestyle brand VETRESKA is going full speed for race week with a motorsport-themed pop-up outside of ION Orchard (near the Louis Vuitton store) from 3 to 11 October. Inspired by all things motorsport, you can expect racetrack-inspired photo walls and the Singapore debut of the Circuit Collection, which includes a line of leashes, harnesses and poop bag dispensers in racing red, silver and black. 

At the event, Haas driver Ollie Bearman, who is also VETRESKA’s global brand partner and dog dad to Freddie and Ruby, will be at the pop-up on 6 October from 4pm to 6pm, where he’ll talk about the partnership and join a pet fashion runway. His appearance is part of a closed-door event, but you can still pop by and hopefully steal a glance of him while he’s there visiting the pop-up.

Oscar Piastri: McLaren Racing Live - In Conversation with Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown (7 October) 

McLaren Racing is bringing a one-night-only event to the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands, where Oscar Piastri and McLaren CEO Zak Brown will sit down and share more about the 2026 season so far. The conversation between the two and the special guest host will also cover Oscar and Zak’s thoughts on this year’s rule changes (for eg. the new engines and aerodynamics), and their take on the team chasing for their third straight Constructors’ title and Piastri fights for the Drivers’ crown.

Fans can stand a chance to win a spot at Leclerc’s meet-and-greet by joining the contest on  Puma Singapore’s Instagram.

The Ferrari driver will make a special appearance at Ray-Ban’s Beyond The Track pop-up at CQ @ Clarke Quay in partnership with Ray-Ban and Scuderia Ferrari HP, from 5pm onwards, where he’ll take the stage to chat with fans. Unlike some of the other meet-and-greets, you don’t need to win a contest to see him here, so we recommend that you arrive early to get a good spot. Aside from that, you can also experience the pop-up, which runs from 1 to 14 October and features the Ray-Ban for Scuderia Ferrari collection, a Scuderia Ferrari SF-23 show car and a line-up of race-inspired experiences.
