Singapore’s Formula 1 race week is known for glamorous parties, celebrity sightings and high-octane action under the city lights. This year, motorsport fans will have another reason to mark their calendars.

On 7 October 2026, just days before the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren Racing will bring two of its most influential figures to the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands for a special live conversation event. McLaren Racing Live: In Conversation with Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown promises a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the sport’s most iconic teams.

Presented by Base Entertainment Asia and Fane, the one-night-only event will feature McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team driver Oscar Piastri alongside McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, offering audiences an insider’s perspective on life at the sharp end of Formula 1.

Few names carry as much weight in motorsport as McLaren. Founded by racing visionary Bruce McLaren more than six decades ago, the team has become synonymous with innovation, ambition and success.

It remains the only team in motorsport history to achieve the coveted Triple Crown — victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Along the way, McLaren has been home to some of racing’s greatest legends, from Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost to Niki Lauda, James Hunt and Mika Häkkinen.

Today, the team continues to shape Formula 1’s future. With a modern era driver line-up led by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, McLaren remains firmly in championship contention and one of the most talked-about teams on the grid.

The timing of the event couldn’t be more relevant. The 2026 Formula 1 season represents one of the most significant turning points in recent history, with sweeping changes to both power units and aerodynamic regulations reshaping the competitive landscape. Every team has faced new technical challenges, making this season one of the most closely watched and unpredictable in years.

Against that backdrop, Piastri and Brown are expected to share candid insights into how McLaren is navigating the sport’s new era, the realities of competing at the highest level, and what fans can expect from the team moving forward. For motorsport enthusiasts, it’s an opportunity to hear directly from the people making key decisions on and off the track — far beyond what viewers see during a race weekend.

While race week is often packed with hospitality experiences and sponsor activations, McLaren Racing Live offers something different: a chance to step inside the mindset of a Formula 1 team. The 75-minute conversation will delve into the pressures of competition, leadership, team culture and the relentless pursuit of performance that defines modern Formula 1. Whether you’re a long-time McLaren supporter or simply fascinated by elite sport, the evening promises stories and perspectives rarely shared in public.

As Singapore prepares once again to become the centre of the Formula 1 world, this exclusive appearance by Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown offers fans a unique opportunity to get closer to the sport — and one of its most storied teams — before the engines fire up for race weekend.

McLaren Racing Live: In Conversation with Oscar Piastri and Zak Brown takes place 7th October 2026 at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands. Tickets go on sale on 19 June 2026 at 3pm (Singapore time) here
