With the Singapore Grand Prix just around the corner, it’s time for Formula 1 (F1) fans to gear up for a weekend of adrenaline-pumping action. If you’re eager to catch every heart-pounding moment but prefer to steer clear of the bustling crowds, or if snagging a ticket to the race isn’t in the cards this year, worry not.
