FIA announce Ferrari penalty verdict after Charles Leclerc incident at Singapore GP
The FIA have announced the stewards’ verdict after investigating a collision between Lando Norris and Ferrari F1 star Charles Leclerc at the Singapore Grand Prix, resulting in Ferrari being fined €10,000 for an unsafe release. Two red flags interrupted FP2 in Singapore, with 22 minutes lost before the session resumed. The incident occurred as Leclerc was released into Norris’s path, causing a collision where Norris hit the wall and had his front wing replaced by mechanics. Both drivers and teams were summoned by the stewards for investigation into the incident post-FP2. Sky Sports commentators criticized the incident, with Anthony Davidson calling it an ‘accident waiting to happen’ and Jamie Chadwick suggesting a more severe punishment should be imposed.
