Charles Leclerc fastest in Singapore as lizards interrupt track action in FP1
Leclerc’s 1m33.350s put him less than a tenth clear of Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz in FP1.
His margin over the rest of the field wo🅰uld have been significantly greater had it not been for a lizard on track causing a brief yel🦂low flag period.
On three diffe💙rent occasions, a lizard was on the track, forcing drivers to slow down due to the yellow flags.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, who memorably pointed out a “giant lizard” in 2016, was the first driver to come across one in an amus🌠ing exchange with his race engineer.
Ve💫rstappen rep💃orted over team radio: "Ah! There's a lizard again on the track! A smaller one this time".
While Ferrari did lead a 1-2 in first practice, less than tw𓆏o-tenths covered the top five.
Verstappen ended the session in third-place, ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in the upgraded McLaren.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton ✅completed the top five in the lead Mercedes, within two-ten💙ths of Leclerc’s top time.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell was 0.3s down in sixth, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez could only manage seventh overall.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon completed the top 10 - all of the aforementioned drivers set their best time on the sof꧒ts.
Only 0.7s separated the top 10 in first p🍰ractice, with the session fairly unrepresentative given the track conditions being completely different to what will be the case in FP2, qualifying and the race.
