Three nights of roaring engines, spectacular lights, and a city running on pure adrenaline. The 2026 @f1nightrace brought Marina Bay to life once again, with high-speed drama on the circuit, familiar faces in the paddock, and a calendar of parties and celebrations that carried the excitement long after the chequered flag fell. From the moments that kept us on the edge of our seats to the style statements and star-studded appearances that made headlines off the track, Singapore’s biggest race weekend delivered plenty to remember.

We spent the first day at the Singapore Grand Prix with @skinceuticals at the exclusive Casa Ferrari overlooking the pit straight. Three floors of hospitality, a rooftop with incredible track views, delicious bites, bespoke cocktails (hello, Leclerc Spritz), and all the action from FP1 to Sprint Qualifying. And in true pit-stop style, we took a moment to recharge with Skinceuticals’ Redline Light Finish treatment, featuring LED light therapy for a little post-travel, post-stress skin reset—much needed in this heat and humidity. Because race-day prep isn’t just about the cars, it’s about the glow, too.
For 18 years, @moetchandon has been part of the celebrations surrounding the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, from the historic inaugural race held in Singapore in 2008, won by Fernando Alonso, to Lewis Hamilton’s pivotal victory in 2017. This year, the champagne of celebrations returns to toast the shared pursuit of excellence that unites motorsport and champagne-making. Among those joining the festivities were celebrities @biblesumett and @annecurtissmith, as well as our Tatler Most Stylish honouree @willamazing, who raised a glass to Moët & Chandon and kicked off the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix celebrations in style. #MoetChandon #Bible Wichapas #AnneCurtisSmith #TatlerSports #TatlerSingapore
Marina Bay has never been a circuit for the faint-hearted. With concrete walls closing in, punishing heat and humidity, and little margin for error, the Singapore Grand Prix demands more than outright pace. This year, the challenge is even greater as the city circuit hosts its first-ever Sprint, leaving drivers with just one hour of practice before the weekend’s competitive action begins. From Max Verstappen’s unfinished business in Singapore to Kimi Antonelli’s title ambitions, the drivers to watch are those who can keep their composure when the pressure rises. On a track where memory, precision, and judgement can matter as much as raw speed, the smallest mistake could change the course of the weekend.

The Prancing Horse gallops into @marinabaysands. Race season shifted into high gear with the arrival of Asia's first @ferraristyle boutique at the #HomeOfChampions, bringing the Ferrari way of life beyond the racetrack through fashion, design and the unmistakable codes of the Italian institution. Under the creative direction of Rocco lannone, the pop-up joins a constellation of Ferrari moments around the resort-including the SF21 show car and the exquisite Testa Rossa J, an electric reimagining of the legendary 250 Testa Rossa. From the paddock to the wardrobe, and racing heritage to contemporary lifestyle, one thing is clear: at Marina Bay Sands this race season, Ferrari isn't merely making a pitstop. It's taking over.

Toshisuke Kanazawa (@toshisuke.kanazawa) turned 90 on 29 August. The next day, he competed in Hiroshima and won the 85-and-over category at the All Japan Masters Fitness Championships, his 17th national title. He started competing as a young man, winning Mr Japan twice in his twenties, before leaving the sport at 34. He returned nearly 15 years later, training to give his ailing wife something to hold onto. She has since passed away, but Kanazawa says he still wonders if she's watching whenever his name is called. His win came in the same week Japan recorded its highest-ever share of elderly residents. At 90, Kanazawa is still stepping on stage and competing. Swipe to see his story. Photos: @toshisuke.kanazawa, Getty Images
