Max Verstappen faces scrutiny for a potential violation of yellow flag regulations during the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen is under scrutiny following the sprint qualifying session for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix due to a reported yellow flag violation.
The Red Bull racer allegedly passed Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton in a yellow flag area triggered by Sergio Perez’s damaged Cadillac.
Perez crashed into the Turn 5 barrier, damaging his front wing and prompting a red flag during the initial session of sprint qualifying.

Despite the investigation, Verstappen went on to secure the fastest time in SQ1 at Marina Bay, clocking in at 1m33.477s on medium tires, finishing just 0.018s ahead of Hamilton’s teammate Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton concluded the session in fourth place, 0.271s off the leading time, while Perez was eliminated after recording a 1m36.760s, placing Verstappen’s former teammate in 20th position.
