Stewards take no further action over Pérez–Stroll Singapore Sprint collision

The stewards have taken no further action over the Turn 16 collision between Sergio Pérez and Lance Stroll that ended the Singapore Sprint for both drivers.

The pair collided less than one lap into the Sprint, after heavy rain delayed the start. Stroll was immediately out; Pérez returned to the pits but later retired because of damage to his car.

Before the stewards announced the outcome of their investigation, Pérez said he had been on the inside at Turn 16 and did not expect Stroll to close the door. He said he tried to brake, but it was too late, and locked up. Stroll said he had not yet had time to review the incident, did not know exactly what had happened and had been hit.

The stewards’ view was that Stroll took a reasonable line into the corner and was not at fault.
