    Ferrari fined for Leclerc-Norris pitlane clash at F1 Singapore GP

    Ferrari Fined for Leclerc-Norris Pitlane Clash During Singapore GP

    Ferrari has been fined €10,000 for an unsafe release of Charles Leclerc, which led to a collision with Mclaren‘s Lando Norris during the second practice session of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The incident caused significant damage to Norris’ front wing, necessitating immediate repairs.

    Details of the Incident

    During Friday night’s practice session, Leclerc was instructed to leave the Ferrari garage but was released into the path of Norris, who was already navigating the pitlane at speed. The contact between the two vehicles resulted in costly damage for McLaren, with Norris forced to return to the pits for a front wing replacement.

    FIA Stewards’ Findings

    Following a thorough investigation, the FIA race stewards held Ferrari accountable for the mishap, which they classified as a “misjudgement.” The stewards noted that Leclerc’s release was poorly communicated, with Ferrari’s team member failing to recognize Norris’ position on track. The decision also referenced precedents, suggesting that the severity of this breach warranted a fine exceeding typical penalties.

    Leclerc’s Perspective

    Leclerc addressed the incident post-practice, describing the confusion caused by both McLarens being released in rapid succession. “It was a bit of confusion with the two McLarens going out,” he explained. The environment during the red flag period was chaotic, pushing teams to hastily adjust their strategies. “It’s not something you want, but these things happen,” he added, acknowledging the complexities of the moment.

    Impact on Practice Session

    The clash between Leclerc and Norris added to the tumultuous nature of the second practice session, which had already been interrupted by red flags due to incidents involving George Russell and Liam Lawson. These disruptions affected teams’ long-run strategies as they battled to optimize their performance ahead of the race.

    Conclusion

    Ferrari’s €10,000 fine underscores the critical importance of communication and safety protocols within Formula 1. As teams prepare for the upcoming race weekend, the incident serves as a reminder of the inherent risks and challenges of high-stakes motorsport.
