The first red flag of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend was deployed in FP2 following a crash for George Russell.
George Russell caused the first red flag of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend after crashing at Turn 16. With just under 20 minutes left in the session, his car hit the barrier, stripping the front wing and causing a puncture on the front left tire. Despite the crash, Russell managed to return to the pit lane on his own before the car was taken to the garage by Mercedes mechanics. In a team radio message, Russell expressed his surprise at the incident, calling it “weird.” This crash comes after Russell’s strong performance in Baku, where he finished second despite battling a respiratory illness.
