Verstappen keeps Singapore Sprint pole after yellow-flag investigation
Max Verstappen was investigated after Sprint Qualifying in Singapore over an alleged yellow-flag infringement, but the stewards took no further action. The decision means the Red Bull driver keeps pole position for Saturday’s Sprint.
Max Verstappen was summoned by the stewards after Sprint Qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix following an alleged breach of yellow-flag regulations. The investigation related to an incident in SQ1, where he was reported to have overtaken Lewis Hamilton in a yellow-flag zone.
The yellow flags came after Sergio Perez crashed at Turn 5 and lost his front wing on the racing line. That incident later brought out a red flag.
After reviewing the matter, the FIA stewards cleared Verstappen of wrongdoing and issued no penalty. As a result, he avoids a grid drop for Saturday’s Sprint and retains pole position for the Singapore sprint race.
