The Story in 60 Seconds

Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad was investigated by FIA stewards after driving the wrong way during the Singapore Grand Prix sprint race on Saturday. Lindblad spun after Turn 5 and, unable to rotate his car with a flick turn, drove approximately 100 meters against traffic along the edge of the track to reach a run-off area to turn around. He finished the sprint race in 13th and last place.

Following a post-race investigation, the stewards decided to take no further action against the rookie driver. The FIA determined that Lindblad waited until oncoming traffic had passed and remained clear of the racing line, deciding the maneuver was not unsafe under the specific circumstances.
