Stewards ruled Stroll was not at fault in the Turn 16 Singapore Sprint collision and took no further action; a separate decision found Pérez predominantly at fault but imposed no penalty.
FIA stewards ruled Lance Stroll was not at fault in a Turn 16 collision with Sergio Pérez during the Singapore Sprint, and took no further action against the Aston Martin driver. In their decision dated 10 October 2026, they said Stroll had taken a reasonable line into the corner.
The stewards said Car 11 (Pérez) attempted to pass Car 18 (Stroll) on the inside into Turn 16, and that both cars made contact. In a separate decision concerning Pérez, they said he began the overtaking attempt legitimately but locked the front-right wheel and could no longer rotate the car. They found him predominantly at fault, while also taking the weather conditions and the difficulty of controlling the car under braking into account.
The stewards said a five-second time penalty would have been appropriate and would have been applied during the Sprint if possible. They imposed none because Car 11 was not classified and five-second time penalties regularly do not convert into grid drops.
