Honestly, getting inside the pit building itself during a non-race weekend is probably a long shot. Those videos you've seen? Likely either team access or special events. Your best bet is to look for official F1 Singapore Grand Prix tours – they're your most likely route to any kind of behind-the-scenes peek. Check the official website closer to your trip; details often appear later. Otherwise, you'll probably just be admiring it from the outside, which is still pretty awesome, tbh. Don't get your hopes up about garage access unless you're somehow snagging a VIP pass.
