Charles Leclerc has been summoned to the stewards after an incident in the pits during the third and final free practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix. The Ferrari team are said to have broken a procedure during the session.

Update: The stewards have announced their verdict

Leclerc was frustrated during the FP3 session in Singapore. The man from Monaco wasn't pleased with his Ferrari car and said on the radio: “Let’s focus on driving instead of focusing on [tyre] scrub and whatsoever. To be honest about the feeling, the feeling is *****. We are very slow." He eventually finished fifth fastest and was firmly behind Lando Norris. On Friday, the two drivers were much closer together. But Leclerc's day might not get better, as he has been called to the stewards.
