Singapore GP 2025 - Skip race day or go all in?

:Singapore: Marina Bay Street Circuit (Singapore):Singapore:

Last minute planning a Singapore GP trip. I managed to find one cheap hostel room ($35/night) and quickly booked it! Most GP tickets are sold out but I have a couple options. I'm trying to do it semi-cheaply, though I realize I'm a bit late.

Here's what I see available:

Option 1 (itemized, $396):

  • Fri - Premier Walkabout $147
  • Sat - Premier Walkabout $249
  • Sun - skip entirely

Option 2 (combo sale, $866):

  • Fri - Pit Grandstand
  • Sat - Pit Grandstand
  • Sun - Premier Walkabout

A couple questions:

  • I can't choose a seat for Pit Grandstand with the Option 2 reseller. I assume it won't be that good. Is it worth sitting on the straight for FP/Q? Could I still get a glimpse of the final high-speed turns?
  • If I skip the actual GP on Sunday, are there some watch parties around the city? Any good spots in particular? It seems F1TV isn't available, so I can't just throw it on in a hostel or something. :(

Option 2 honestly seems like a great deal, though not what I was planning to spend. I was really just passing through SG in my travels and noticed the GP timing lined right up! So I think if general atmosphere or other ways to watch around the city are worthwhile, I think I'd be okay not attending the race. I've been to Montreal and COTA before so it's not entirely new, but I doubt I'll return. So I could be convinced!
