Charles Leclerc has been called to the stewards after an incident in the pits during the final practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix. Ferrari reportedly broke a procedure during this session.
Update: The stewards have given their decision.
Leclerc was not happy during FP3 in Singapore. He wasn’t satisfied with his Ferrari and said on the radio, “Let’s focus on driving instead of focusing on [tyre] scrub and whatsoever. To be honest about the feeling, the feeling is *****. We are very slow." He finished fifth fastest, behind Lando Norris. On Friday, they were much closer together. But now, Leclerc’s day might get worse as he’s been summoned to the stewards.
