According to Ms Tan Yen Nee, Executive Director, Brand, Singapore Tourism Board, "what sets this episode apart is its intimate access, offering millions of viewers worldwide a unique glimpse of Singapore through the lens of the F1 drivers." Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc shared in the episode: "Singapore is one of my favourite tracks of the season. The feeling of driving on street tracks in general is incredible. It’s a challenge that I like".
“Filming this episode in Singapore offered us a unique opportunity to capture the intensity of the race, as well as the city’s vibrancy. Every element of our production came together perfectly—from securing locations to coordinating with local partners—allowing us to bring this unique episode to life," said Tom Hutchings, Executive Producer at Box to Box Films.
The episode was filmed during the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024 in September, in partnership with Netflix, Box to Box Films and the Singapore Tourism Board.
