After practice in Singapore occurred without an interruption, it did not take long for a red flag to be deployed in sprint qualifying.
Sergio Perez caused the first red flag of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend after crashing his Cadillac into Turn 4. The Mexican driver locked up shortly after the session began, sustaining damage to his front wing. While limping back to the pit lane, the wing lodged underneath the car, tore away, and disintegrated across the track, forcing race control to halt the session for debris cleanup.
Stewards noted Perez for driving in an unsafe condition, but they ultimately decided on no further action. The crash also triggered controversy elsewhere on the grid, as Lewis Hamilton accused Max Verstappen of overtaking him under yellow flags while passing the debris field.
