@kymillmanf1: Fans in Singapore experienced massive delays getting into the track during the Grand Prix weekend as extensive security checks created queues of up to a kilometre, waiting in hazy and humid conditions. #f1 #formula1 #SingaporeGP

Kev :

Gate 4 leads into the Padang stage where people queued up early to see Zara or Lana but also doesn’t help that there’s people wanting to get a good spot if they’re on a walkabout ticket.

Starie Tae :

omg on day 1, i was queuing at gate 4, and it took me over an hour to get in 😭😭 the queue was insane

Nana :

And searching for chewing gums😭😭😭😭

yabayaba :

chewing gum?

Jer :

I think that context is important too. 1. Gate 4 leads to Zone 4 which is the “most accessible zone” as basically all ticket types could enter and it’s closest to the Padang stage so concert goers would all queue there to rush to the stage to get their spot. I entered through the gate at Zone 1 and the queue wasn’t as bad. 2. On Sundays is when all the big celebrities and even ministers and foreign political members would be attending too, its natural to have a heightened security stance from the organisers. All in all I think that it was still well organised. If you were in a long queue, you probably had a reason to be there early which isn’t to watch the race, same as the people in the queue with you!

What makes you easy to remember? 🚀

With this massive number of people, Singapore won't slack on security. The attendees safety is also a top priority. I'm glad they are vy thorough with checks. We had threats before and with the recent attack in Saudi, we can't be complacent.

MoOo :

That queue was for the concert line

Dave :

Singapore is like that-la

Pysus :

was doing the security details last year. even the security are screened by the security when they report to work there.

yupthatsright4 :

If I may say so myself. 1hr is ok. More then that is starting to get on my nerves but 1hr is acceptable for me

malpline :

I saw you at the track unfortunately I was unable to say hi as you were standing right in front of me good race 👍

SiBulu :

worst F1 gp

mantou.8 :

Because F1 is a huge event, it could be a possible terrorist target. So that’s why there are intense security checks in addition to other measures.

n. :

Singapore isnt about the GP, its mostly about the after party.

jvasiliou :

I just spent $1000s of dollars for tickets to a race next year. Service that promoters provide MUST improve. What is F1 doing about this?

Nigelャ :

Knew that reply came from Malaysia 😂

cashking :

i think it is perfectly right to do so. no compromise on safety. do you want to end up in hospital in a bomb blast? or going home happy safe affer the race?

Seabear :

That's because he has an elitist mindset where he goes through life with VIP treatment.

Danielle McIsaac :
