2026 Singapore GP week: driver appearances, fan events and sprint schedule

Four F1 drivers are set for fan appearances around Singapore on Thursday, 8 October: Sergio Pérez and Zhou Guanyu at the Tommy Hilfiger x Cadillac pop-up in Paragon’s Level 1 Main Atrium at 1:30 p.m., and George Russell and Kimi Antonelli at Adidas Brand Centre Orchard. Thai stars Fourth Nattawat and Pond Naravit are also part of the Paragon event. The schedule comes from Motorsport.com’s Singapore race-week guide.

The same programme gives conflicting dates for Zhou’s appearance at the Jim Beam x Cadillac F1 Watch Party at Chijmes Main Lawn: it places him at the event under 8 October, but schedules the party itself for 9–11 October, from 4 to 11 p.m.

Other city events are planned across the week. Lewis Hamilton’s +44 Marina Spaceport is scheduled at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands from 5 to 11 October, and an Adidas x Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team activation is planned at Adidas Brand Centre Orchard and Raffles City through 12 October. A Jungle Ballroom event with Alan Dixon is set for 9 p.m. on 10 October; a Chivas Regal race-viewing event is scheduled for 7 p.m. on 11 October.

The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix is the event’s first sprint weekend. In local time, Friday, 9 October, has one practice session from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., followed by sprint qualifying from 8:30 to 9:14 p.m. Saturday’s sprint runs from 5 to 5:30 p.m., with Grand Prix qualifying from 9 to 10 p.m. The 62-lap Grand Prix starts on Sunday, 11 October, at 8 p.m.
