BWT Alpine Formula One Team gears up for the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix. Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto take on Round 18 of the FIA Formula One World Championship at the stunning Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Singapore has earned a place as one of the most glamourous races of the season. The tight street track sees Formula One cars speed past skyscrapers and historic landmarks under the lights at what was the sport’s first ever night race. The demanding circuit tests drivers to the limit with close walls and a bumpy track surface all in humid, tropical conditions.

The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix will conclude an important week in Singapore with the city playing host to Token2049, the world’s largest crypto event, which starts on 1st October. BWT Alpine Formula One Team’s Web3 and cryptocurrency partners and licensees will be represented at the global event.

Richard Teng, CEO of Team Partner Binance, will speak on the main stage, as will Binance Global Lead Raj Timothy Nandwani. The team have also celebrated the announcement of BlockDAG as Layer One Blockchain Partner with an exclusive partnership launch in the city. Team Licensee Ledger, a world leader in digital asset security and producer of the new Ledger Stax™ BWT Alpine Formula One Team edition, brought the energy of racing to crypto with the Ledger x BWT Alpine Formula One Team ‘race day’ karting event.

Pierre and Franco will continue this racing spirit when they take to the track from Friday.

Pierre Gasly:

“I can’t wait to be behind the wheel again in Singapore this weekend. After a challenging weekend in Baku, we’re ready to give it our all once more at what is one of the most extreme tracks of the season. The Marina Bay Street Circuit is a tough one meaning peak concentration is key. It’s a long, technical lap and is very physically demanding because of the heat, even at night. We lose something like five kilos of weight as drivers during the two-hour race and that’s all in fluids so making sure we’re hydrated and keeping our body temperature down is hugely important. We’ve put a lot of training in to make sure I can operate to the best of my ability in these conditions and I’m really up for the challenge. It’s always a cool event and I love to race under the lights around this city. We will make sure we can capitalise on anything the weekend throws at us and put in a good performance.”

Franco Colapinto:

“Singapore is certainly one of the toughest races throughout the season. The unique physical challenge is something I felt last year for the first time so this year I have spent some time on heat focused training to prepare for the extreme conditions. The track itself is very fun to drive. It’s fast, lots of technical corner combinations and, usually, the racing is quite good. I had an interesting start to last year’s race into Turn 1, very, very late on the brakes! I am excited to get out there, racing under the lights is always an amazing experience and the city is a beautiful place to be able to visit as a sport. We had a tough weekend last time out in Baku but the team has full focus for the races ahead and we will look to pull everything together for a successful weekend.”
