Ferrari cause pit-lane CHAOS after careless crash at Singapore Grand Prix

Ferrari star Charles Leclerc crashed into Lando Norris in the pit lane during FP2 at the Singapore Grand Prix.

In what was described as a 'dangerous' incident in the Sky Sports F1 commentary booth, Leclerc's Ferrari team released the Monegasque driver straight into the path of Norris.

The Brit was helpless as his car crashed into the wall of the pit lane, damaging his front wing.

In what Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz said was out of 'guilt', Ferrari mechanics then helped to wheel Norris back into his McLaren garage so that he could get his front wing replaced quickly.

Leclerc and Norris were both summoned by the FIA for the investigation for an alleged unsafe release, with the stewards later slapping the Scuderia with a €10,000 fine as a result.

Friday ends on a hectic note in Singapore

FP2 lost 22 minutes of running under the lights in Singapore, following two red flags.

George Russell slammed into the barriers at Turn 16 in what he described as a 'weird' crash with 42 minutes left on the clock which caused all of the drivers to head back to the pits, before Liam Lawson also suffered a crash and parked his car right at the pit lane entry.

These two red flags arguably made the drivers and teams more keen to get out onto the track when the circuit was given the green light, with cars rushing out into the pit lane in a chaotic session.

The rush to get out on track was made even more important due to the fact that FP2 is the only one of the three practice sessions at the Singapore GP that is played out in similar conditions to Saturday's qualifying session.

But the jostling for position in the pit lane may just cost Leclerc and Ferrari dear, following what was described by Sky Sports F1's David Croft as an 'ill-judged' move by the mechanics.
