Overview
- Ferrari was penalized under Article 34.14a after Charles Leclerc was waved into the fast lane and collided with Lando Norris during second practice at the Singapore Grand Prix.
- The stewards found a Ferrari team member misjudged the situation and gave unclear instructions, noting Leclerc could not see Norris as cars rushed out after the red flag.
- The decision described the case as warranting a tougher sanction than past unsafe-release incidents, resulting in a €10,000 fine for the team.
- Leclerc continued running, and McLaren returned Norris to the track after repairs to his car according to RaceFans, though some coverage described heavier contact with the wall.
- Norris said the incident cost McLaren some money, and Leclerc cited compromised visibility and confusion with two McLarens leaving as factors in the pit lane mix-up.
