A lizard has caused a red flag during the third and final free practice for the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. The animal sat on track for some time, and Fernando Alonso had to avoid it. Eventually, the FIA red-flagged the session to allow a marshal on track to remove the lizard. The marshal ended up chasing the lizard down the circuit in a hilarious moment. Formula 1 themselves branded it as the weirdest red flag ever.
