Rain or shine, it's party time as pop stars thrill fans

A little rain never stopped the party as the entertainment continued on Saturday, the second day of the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2022.

Under umbrellas, ponchos or just a cap, guests were determined to have a good time off track.

By the late afternoon, the F1 village was already abuzz with activity, with guests buying drinks and merchandise and getting complimentary temporary tattoos.

When the skies opened and it began to pour at around 4pm, some guests ducked into sheltered areas while others braved the rain.

The showers failed to dampen Ms Jessica Mai’s spirits – she was well prepared with her raincoat.

The 21-year-old Australian university student, who lives in Sydney, is here on a week-long trip with a friend specially to attend the Singapore Grand Prix, and they caught performances by American girl group TLC, American pop-rap group Black Eyed Peas and Irish pop vocal group Westlife.

Behind fogged spectacles, Ms Mai said: “It is my first Grand Prix, so I have no expectations. Even in the rain, I think we can still have fun.”
