Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz of Ferrari has been fined for crossing the track without permission following a crash during the Singapore Grand Prix qualifying session.
The Spanish driver crashed in the third segment of qualifying, hitting the barriers with the rear of his car. After the incident, Sainz exited his damaged vehicle and ran across the track to the team's pit area without the stewards' approval, reports Motorsport.com.
This action is prohibited under race regulations, and Sainz has been fined €25,000, half of which is suspended until the end of the year on probation.
Sainz finished 10th in the qualifying session, which was won by McLaren's Lando Norris.
The main race will take place on September 22, starting at 3:00 PM Moscow time.
