Three migrant workers to get F1 tickets if they achieve target of 2,000 likes on Instagram
Three migrant workers could be attending this year’s Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix after their boss promised to bring them to the race if their Instagram post reaches 2,000 likes.
The video was posted by Singapore playground company Parklab on 23 Sept on Instagram, showing the three crew members asking viewers to help them hit the target.

Parklab told MS News that the three workers are migrant workers from their installation team.
Parklab Group specialises in the design and construction of customised playgrounds in Singapore.
‘Help like this video so we can go F1’
In the video, the three men explain that their boss had promised them F1 tickets if the video received 2,000 likes.
One of them says: “My boss say this video got 2,000 likes, he bring me to F1.”
They then describe some of the work they do at Parklab.
We help to build playground, take care of everything. We help to plan, we help to ensure safety, we help to build.

The video ends with an appeal to viewers to “help like this video so we can go F1”.
Parklab says promise is real
Speaking to MS News, Parklab confirmed that the F1 ticket promise is genuine.
The company said the three men are “some of [their] best-performing crew members” and that it wanted to recognise their work with a meaningful reward.
While social media challenges often set targets of around 10,000 likes, Parklab deliberately set its target at 2,000 likes.

The company said this was so the target would be achievable, and the workers would have “a real chance of enjoying the reward”.
At the time of writing, the post has garnered over 9,000 likes.
Parklab added that it is currently looking at available tickets and working out the arrangements.
All three crew members will be going
Parklab also confirmed that all three workers featured in the video will be going to the F1 race.

The company said its boss had seen other crew videos and thought the challenge would be a good way to introduce the people behind its on-site work.
According to Parklab, the crew put significant effort into making the video, just as they do in their daily work.
The company said the reward is part of a wider effort to recognise its crew and ensure every team member feels “valued and supported”.
For now, the three workers can count down to mid-October when they can fully immerse themselves in the experience of an F1 race weekend.
