Singaporean sartorial fashion designers to take center stage
Bespoke Singaporean brand Mr G will showcase their couturier suits at this year’s Amber Lounge Singapore Fashion Show.
The Amber Lounge Singapore Fashion Show will showcase this season’s collection of VIP couturier Mr G (Mr Gentleman) who will be suiting
the motorsport drivers taking centre stage under a blaze of lights on this year’s catwalk, in support of ‘Make A Wish Singapore’ foundation.
Gary Ong and Jonathan Wong established the Singaporean-based tailoring label in 2014, with the prime focus of providing a wardrobe to take all clients effortlessly through every significant milestone in life, creating elegantly timeless pieces.
Mr. G began as one of the pioneer travelling suit-makers in Singapore where bespoke tailoring was matched with the utmost convenience and comfort of the client. This personalised service remains the ethos of Mr G with the establishment of its first flagship showroom in the heart of Singapore.
Having worked with several celebrities such as actors Alan Wan and Benjamin Kheng, DJ Kimberly Wang and Mediacorp’s award-winning bilingual host artiste Lee Teng, Mr G certainly knows a thing or two about dressing the VIP in memorable and stylish couture.
Co-Founders Gary Ong & Jonathan Wong said:
“Amber Lounge’s events are a hallmark of a lifestyle that is both aspirational and luxurious. Although luxurious, the idea behind the Amber Lounge Fashion Show is actually something that is symbolic as the models walking on the runway are not professional models, they are actually racers who have spent their whole life honing their craft and living up to the passion of racing. This makes the event much more meaningful and not just a show of aesthetics, it has become a celebration and a tribute to the tradition of racing.”

EXPLORE BEYOND THE EXPECTED
Singapore Grand Prix is fast approaching and we wanted to give you a glimpse into this glamorous and cosmopolitan city, bursting with cultural experiences to enhance every moment of your F1 grand prix weekend. Here are some of our best tips to enable you to dip into everything Singapore has to offer during this electric weekend.
Getting around the city
The quickest and most convenient way to get to the city from the airport is via the modern Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) rail system. Trains leave every 12 minutes and the journey time into City Hall Station is just 27 minutes.
With the MRT at your disposal, as well as bus and taxis services, it is extremely easy to explore this incredible city during the Grand Prix weekend. Walking around Singapore when these services aren’t available is safe and convenient with the added bonus of being able to stop at places of interest along the way.
Singapore’s Changi Airport has lots to offer with 160 shops and 80 restaurants, there is certainly heaps to keep you entertained before you leave for home.
Only in Singapore
Gear up to explore Singapore’s iconic landmarks during the Formula 1 weekend including The Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa.
Some of the essential sightseeing locations in Singapore include The Helix Bridge which links the Marina Centre with Marine South and forms part of a 3.5 km pedestrian loop around the bay. Singapore Flyer is the largest observation wheel around the globe at 165m high, 30 m taller than the famous London Eye. The Singapore Zoo is also a definite must-see as it offers the unique experience of a night safari.
Eat like a local
With food to suit everyone’s taste, the hawker centres (aka food courts) are a must when exploring Singapore.
Chinatown Complex Food Centre – here’s where you can find all of the MUST TRY local foods at great value.
Old Airport Road Food Centre – Singapore’s iconic hawker centre offering the best soya beancurd in Singapore.
Maxwell Road Hawker Centre – Famous for it’s food stalls in a great location in China town.
Chomp Chomp Food Centre - For late night diners, experience the best satay in Singapore.
Where to stay
There are plenty of amazing places to stay close to Marina Bay Street Circuit. Concorde Hotel is a great option combining good location and reasonably priced accommodation.
Another amazing option is Conrad Centennial Singapore which located very close to the F1 paddock and Amber Lounge.
Did you know…
Singapore is a city of (man-made) waterfalls. You’ll find the world’s tallest indoor waterfall (35 metres) at the Cloud Forest, Gardens by the Bay.
Singapore is one of only three surviving city-states in the world along with Monaco and Vatican City.
At just 684 square kilometres (264 square miles), Singapore is the smallest country in South East Asia.
Formula 1 is ready to steal the spotlight
Home to the first night race, the floodlit track takes advantage of its impressive landmarks, guiding F1 fans around Singapore sights.
“It’s a very physical circuit - more than I expected, actually. You need to put a lot of work into the car to get a good lap - I’d say it requires double the energy of Monaco over a single lap. One lap around here is like two laps of Monaco!"
Lewis Hamilton

F1 Action resumes
The wait is almost over. Second part of the Formula 1 season is fast approaching. Belgium and the high-speed Spa-Francorchamps will be the next stop on the F1 calendar. The nearly one-month summer break saw Aston Martin Red Bull Racing promote Alex Albon as Max Verstappen’s new teammate. Pierre Gasly will be racing for Toro Rosso for the remaining of the season.
Albon, who has scored 16 points so far this season, has been ecstatic about the opportunity to represent Aston Martin Red Bull Racing starting from the Belgian Grand Prix. He shared his delight on Social Media by saying: “Surreal to have been given this massive opportunity”.
The F1 race in Belgium is a very important one for Scuderia Ferrari as the fast Spa-Francorchamps track gives them an opportunity to bridge the gap to their rivals from Mercedes and Red Bull as recent wins for Max Verstappen in Austria and Germany saw him overtake Sebastian Vettel in 3rd place in the current ranking. Five-time Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton sits comfortably in 1st with teammate Valtteri Bottas in 2nd.

F1 Update - Mercedes continue to dominate
Lewis Hamilton’s winning streak continued at the 2019 French Grand Prix as the reigning world champion dominated the race with a lights-to-flag win, gaining his sixth victory at Circuit Paul Ricard out of the eight F1 races of the 2019 season. Hamilton picked up his 200th career points finish from 237 F1 starts. His success extended his lead over Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. The triumph spread throughout the team as Mercedes gained their eighth successive 2019 victory.
"We’re creating history together and I'm so proud of everyone, I’m so proud to be a part of this team, this group of people and Valtteri did a good job this weekend as well."
Lewis Hamilton
Ferrari driver, Charles Leclerc crossed the chequered flag behind Hamilton and Bottas, whilst his teammate Sebastian Vettel only managed to secure fifth place. Having boxed for the penultimate lap for soft tyres, Vettel locked in the fastest lap, receiving the bonus point for the 2019 French Grand Prix, bringing his points up to 111 sitting behind current leader Lewis Hamilton who’s on 187 and his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas on 151.

The race wasn’t as successful for Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo who came into trouble after receiving 2 x 5 second penalties; for leaving the track and gaining an advantage as well as failing to rejoin the track safely, originally finishing in 7th, but after the post-race penalties were given finishing in 11th.
Next stop in the Grand Prix calendar is Red Bull Ring, Austria, June 28-30.
