Pérez crash triggers first red flag of Singapore GP weekend

Cadillac driver Sergio Pérez’s crash brought out the first red flag of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend during sprint qualifying.

On his way back to the pit lane, the damaged wing caught beneath the car, broke free and shattered, scattering debris across the track. Race control halted the session so the debris could be cleared.

RacingNews365’s accounts differ on the incident’s opening: the Dutch-language report says Pérez went straight on at Turn 5; the English-language report says he locked up into Turn 4.

The stewards later noted Pérez for driving the car in an unsafe condition, but took no further action.
