A 27-year old man has been arrested after the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit was interrupted by a person appearing on the circuit.
Charlie Whiting deployed the safety car as a man appeared to be walking on the edge of the circuit around turn 13.
Many drivers such as Sebastian Vettel saw the spectator and reported it on team radio before the safety car was deployed.
A statement from the FIA has been released since the race ended:
“The Singapore Police Force have confirmed that a 27-year-old man has been arrested and is assisting police with investigations,” said a statement from the FIA.
“This followed an incident in which an unidentified man gained unauthorised access to the Marina Bay Street Circuit during tonight’s race.”
“The man went on to the track near turn 13, triggering the deployment of the Safety Car.”
“We are awaiting a full report from the Clerk of the Course in order to determine the circumstances surrounding this incident.”
