Nothing like a Sunday stroll to clear your head and ready yourself for another week.
Well not so much when that stroll happens to be alongside the track where the Singapore Grand Prix is taking place, cars whizzing by at massive speeds and the engine noises rivalling those of a jet engine. An unidentified 27-year-old man, thought to be English, was the rather confused individual causing mayhem, with this below from the Daily Mail:
The Singapore Grand Prix had already been a captivating race up until lap 37, but all attention on the drama was suddenly lost when a fan was spotted walking down the track towards the cars after turn 13. Seconds later the safety car was called out which brought down the speed of all the drivers on the circuit for safety reasons…
Oblivious to his surroundings, it was thankful the man was walking on the opposite side of the racing line, limiting the danger to himself and the drivers who were astonished at the sight of him on the circuit.
After passing the intruder, race leader and eventual winner Sebastian Vettel immediately called into his Ferrari team, shouting in disbelief to his team that there was a man on the track.
The intruder then spotted an opening in the fence, and leapt over a railing near a track marshall’s post before disappearing from view just as sharply as he had emerged.
The man was arrested after the race, although that will do little to appease driver concerns as to how he managed to casually wander right into the action.
