F1 fans in Singapore find themselves stuck in crowd as they try to make it for last MRT train
After a night of roaring engines and electrifying performances at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, the race to catch the last train home for some F1 fans turned out to be just as intense.
Unfortunately, what awaited them outside the Marina Bay Street Circuit was far from the adrenaline-pumping glamour of the track but a suffocating sea of people stuck in a midnight gridlock.
F1 fans stuck in massive crowd
TikTok user @kpherluke shared a now-viral clip showing throngs of F1 fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder, barely moving as they tried to make their way to the MRT station past midnight.
@kpherluke Been to f1 in Singapore many times, this is my first time encountering this standstill. It’s already 0013hrs 😭
The video’s onscreen caption, “POV: last train 0030”, perfectly captured the tension as the camera panned across a crowd of visibly exhausted fans.
Many stood still, checking their phones or just waiting helplessly after a long day of races and performances.

According to the original poster (OP), the jam occurred near one of the exits from the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
With so many people leaving at once, the crowd flow appeared to have come to a complete halt, a “standstill”, as the OP called it.
“Been to F1 in Singapore many times, this is my first time encountering this standstill. It’s already 0013hrs,” they said in the post.
Netizens share similar experiences at F1 event
The post quickly gained traction online as other attendees shared similar frustrations.
Several netizens claimed that security guards were blocking exits and giving fans “wrong directions”, worsening the congestion.

Others shared how they gave up on the MRT altogether, with one fan saying they walked to SMU and managed to book a Grab from there instead.
