The Singapore GP is underway as Formula 1 Teams battle it out for the pole position. The free practice session has been completed as Lando Norris, George Russell, and Oscar Piastri set the fastest times. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc got into trouble as he was summoned by the stewards after his final practice session was over. The Ferrari team broke the procedure set by the FIA during the final free practice session of the Singapore GP. 

The Monacan was frustrated with his car as he said on the radio “Let's focus on driving instead of focusing on tyres scrub and whatsoever. To be honest about the feeling, the feeling is ###. We are very slow.” He finished fifth in the free practice session and was well behind McLaren's Lando Norris. 

FIA Summoned Charles Leclerc

Leclerc’s day has gone from bad to worse as he was called by the stewards after the final free practice session. Jo Bauer the FIA Formula One Technical Delegate told the stewards “During free practice session 3, it was noted that the tyre pressures of set 503 on car 16 were altered whilst the car was stationary in the pit-stop position. This adjustment was not carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in TD003N 2.g.ii... I am referring this to the stewards for their consideration.”

The Singapore GP Final practice session is complete with Norris, Russel, and Piastri being the fastest drivers. Championship leader Max Verstappen stands at 4th, Charles Leclerc in fifth, Carlos Sainz in sixth, Hamilton seventh, Alex Albon in eighth, Colapinto in ninth, and Alonso at tenth. 

The qualifying will start very soon as Max Verstappen will be looking to complete the qualifying in the top 3 to maximize the lead advantage to win this year's world championship title. Last year Red Bull won every race except the race that happened in Singapore. Carlos Sainz won last year's epic Singapore GP for Ferrari.
