The recent Formula One night race in the Lion City had other kinds of pit stops
NICO MANIA AMG
Petronas F1 team driver Nico Rosberg dropped by at Suntec City’s west wing atrium, where his fans had gathered. Sharing the limelight with a GT S sports coupe, the popular German racer posed for their selfies/wefies, signed autographs and gave away Mercedes merchandise.
“CONCORDE” CAPTAIN
McLaren pilot Jenson Button spent a bit more time at Changi Airport’s Terminal 1, but not to buy duty-free goodies. He helped British Airways introduce its new lounge, which features the airline’s Concorde Bar, an exclusive area meant for passengers flying in First.
PARTYING’S POLE POSITION
Once again, Amber Lounge set the pace for partygoers in Singapore with its turbocharged two-night event. On the first night, there was a fashion show headlined by Formula One (reserve and test) drivers dressed in Ted Baker’s latest collection, and they included the Lotus F1 “flower”, Carmen Jorda. Newly crowned Miss Universe Singapore 2015, Lisa Marie White, also made her first public appearance. Apl.de.ap of The Black Eyed Peas, along with other international deejays, kept the dance music pumping on both nights. Famous F1 drivers who made a pit stop at the event included Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel (who won the race), Toro Rosso’s Carlos Sainz Jr. and McLaren’s Fernando Alonso.
