Representatives from the various faiths were invited to a prayer session ahead of Singapore’s Formula One (F1) race.
Described as an annual ritual on the F1 calendar that is unique to Singapore – the Republic’s religious leaders gathered around the Marina Bay Street Circuit to bless the track ahead of next weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, reports Straits Times.
Next week’s race is building up to be a thriller as Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton (250 points) leads the drivers’ championship by just two points ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg, the Singapore newspaper reported.
