As observed, Pierre Gasly was putting his car into the pit road when suddenly a flame flared up from the rear vents. The French driver quickly escaped from the cockpit and was fortunate not to be hurt. The technical staff of Alpha Tauri also soon extinguished the fire.
Gasly's car burned when it was entering the station at the end of his run on the 2nd test day (FP2) for the Singapore GP. The 26 -year -old racer then returned to continue training.
On the Sky Sports F1 wave, the Ted Kravitz scene reporter said: “Everything has been resolved.
Kravitz added: “Normally, when the car is taken back to the station, the race team puts a tube into the fuel tank to put the air in. The pipe continues to be put in it when they pour the fuel in or remove the fuel. That allows the air to escape from the fuel tank.”
Returning to the FP2 racing day, the two Ferrari riders Carlos Saints and Charles Leclerc in turn led. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton has a good test achievement. Tomorrow, the Singapore Grand Prix will continue the third practice race (FP3) and then the class division race.
Singapore GP is the 17th race of the F1 2022 season, taking place on October 2 at the Marina Bay race. On the eve of the Singapore GP, Max Verstappen is still leading the rankings with 116 points more than the second racer, Charles Leclerc.
