What happened: Sergio Perez crashed during sprint qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix. He attributed the accident to his car aggressively bottoming out while pushing to maximize lap time.

Why it matters: The sudden loss of ride height caused an impact with the wall, damaging the front wing. The ensuing debris required a red flag, and the early exit left him in 20th position.

What to watch: The weekend continues with the sprint event ahead of the grand prix.
