In an unexpected turn of events, the third and final Formula 1 practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix was momentarily halted due to the presence of a large lizard on the track. The Aston Martin driver, Fernando Alonso, alerted race officials after spotting the reptile in the middle of the track, prompting a red flag to be waved.
Quick action was taken by two track marshals who swiftly chased the lizard off the track, allowing the session to resume shortly after. Despite the interruption, drivers were able to continue their preparations for the upcoming race.
