Nah, I've been to the Singapore F1 Pit Building loads of times, and never heard anything about a secret viewing area. Sounds like one of those things people make up to sound cool. Your best bet for good views is probably just getting a decent seat in the grandstands, or maybe even one of those fancy hospitality suites. They usually offer pretty amazing sightlines. Good luck with your trip though! Hope you have an awesome time at the race.

Yeah, Biopolis can feel a bit sterile. The food court is... underwhelming, to put it mildly. Try the hawker centre at Buona Vista. It's a short MRT ride away and has tons of options – way more variety and cheaper than anything you'll find within Biopolis itself. Plenty of delicious and affordable local food there. Save the bento box for a rainy day!

Totally agree! The Biopolis food court is a culinary desert. I've been stuck with those overpriced sandwiches more times than I care to admit. Buona Vista hawker centre sounds like a lifesaver – thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out next time. Seriously, those bento boxes are a last resort.
