The pit stop at a team in the race in Singapore almost ends in a dramatic accident. However, an employee acts mentally.
That could have been evil: At the Singapore Grand Prix, there was a terrifying scene on Sunday. Location: the pit lane. Participated: Sauber-Pilot Gabriel Bortoleto, Red Bull Pilot Yuki Tsunoda-and especially the team in the clean box.
Round 14 on Marina Bay Street Circuit: The Brazilian Bortoleto drives into the box. The team of the clean racing team plunges into the car in no time, exchanging the tires. But during a hasty change, the right front tire suddenly rolls unnoticed towards Fastlane – the area where the pilots in the pit lane drive back towards the racetrack.
And that is exactly what Red Bull Pilot Tsunoda is driving over after his own pit stop-an employee of the Sauber-Boxencrew can stop the tire just before the Fastlane at the last second. If the Japanese collision with the tire, there could have been bad consequences.
Happiness in misfortune: Both Tsunoda and Formula 1 rookie Bortoleto were able to continue the race unscathed. However, it is possible that the clean team will be punished for the dangerous mistake.
Meanwhile, the exciting race in the city-state won Mercedes-Pilot George Russell, and the first totel of the 2025 season has already been awarded: Since the McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piatri drove three and four across the finish line, the British racing team has been established six races before the end of the season. become. The team defended the title from last year.
