Fan walks on track during Singapore F1 race (Video)
Don’t ever be as stupid as this person.
Sunday’s Formula 1 race had to go under caution on lap 37 after a fan had walked out on to the track.
Eventual race-winner Sebastian Vettel was heard on his in-car radio telling his team that there was a fan on the track. There was momentary confusion as to why the race had to be slowed until it was clear there was a man on the track where he wasn’t supposed to be. We probably don’t need to explain why a fan walking on the track while the race is going on is a bad idea, right?
He walked for a bit before he took a right over the wall and back through the fence. There’s no indication how he was able to get into a position to have access to the track. Formula 1 races are very tightly controlled atmospheres, though with the street-race setup in Singapore, he clearly found a place that was unsecured. And he gave us flashbacks to the guy at the Richmond Sprint Cup race in 2014 who climbed to the top of the catchfence.
Lewis Hamilton, the season’s dominant driver and points leader, was forced to retire from the race with throttle issues.
