Buckle up, fam - the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix just got a major dose of Filipino flair! As the only Southeast Asian stop on the F1 circuit right now, this high-speed extravaganza over the weekend drew not just racing fans but also some of the biggest names from the Philippines. Think of it as the Hollywood red carpet, but with roaring engines and a tropical twist.
From heartthrob David Licauco to the ever-stunning Catriona Gray, our Pinoy stars were out in full force, soaking up the adrenaline at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. It’s no shock that this event has become a magnet for celebs - with a killer entertainment lineup featuring legends like Elton John, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Foo Fighters, it’s basically Coachella with race cars. If you’re picturing the vibe, imagine a SoCal summer night, but swap the beach for a racetrack.
“Singapore F1 was unreal - the energy, the music, and the races had us all on the edge of our seats!” said David Licauco, sharing his excitement on social media.
We couldn’t help but keep our eyes peeled for more familiar faces strutting through the F1 paddock all weekend long. David Licauco, known for his swoon-worthy roles on local screens, was all smiles as he took in the fast-paced action. Meanwhile, Catriona Gray, our Miss Universe queen, brought her signature elegance to the stands - talk about a podium finish in the style department!
It wasn’t just these two stealing the show, though. A handful of other Filipino stars popped up trackside, mingling with international A-listers and proving that Pinoy pride runs deep, even halfway across the world. We’re talking major Malibu-style drama, but with revving engines instead of ocean waves - stay tuned for more snaps and updates from this star-studded affair.
While Singapore holds the crown as Southeast Asia’s sole F1 host for now, there’s some exciting buzz on the horizon. Back in March, reports dropped that Thailand is gunning to join the race with a potential Bangkok street circuit by 2028. Nothing’s locked in yet, but if it happens, it’ll be a game-changer, making Thailand the second country in the region to host a Grand Prix.
Imagine the vibes - Bangkok’s chaotic energy mixed with F1’s high stakes? It’d be like a Venice Beach street party on steroids. For now, though, Singapore remains the go-to spot for racing fans and celeb-watchers alike, and with Filipino stars lighting up the scene, we’re already counting down to next year’s event!
