Singapore and Formula One are soulmates, and parallelisms abound in both. In Singapore, good citizens indefatigably following a set of rules given by their sapient leaders propel them into daily finish lines. Numerous innovative ideas spawning fabulous projects are akin to the evolution in Formula One car technology over the years. Generating income is Singapore’s forte, and Formula One, being the world’s most expensive sport, mean a math truly made in heaven. “A perfect combination!”, that’s what it is. Oscillating with energy because of its dynamism, it is not surprising Singapore is now rapidly becoming the epochal crown jewel of the Formula One circuits.
