THE Singapore Grand Prix suffered a heartstopping moment as a Formula One mechanic was almost hit by a speeding car.
During the race, Sauber had brought in Nico Hulkenberg for a pit stop.
However, the mechanics working on the front left wheel had accidentally left the wheel they had just removed upright and spinning towards the active pit lane.
A fast-acting mechanic working at the back of the car saw the huge wheel rolling.
They immediately rushed to pick up the wheel and stop it going into the road.
However, they had done so without checking over their shoulder to see if another car might be coming.
They managed to get to the wheel and pick it up, but Sky Sports cameras picked it up as Yuki Tsunoda zoomed past following a pit stop for Red Bull further up the pit lane.
The mechanic was luckily far enough away to not be hit by the car.
This weekend had also seen the FIA allow cars to go at a higher speed in the pit lane for this year’s Grand Prix – rising from 60kmph to 80kmph.
The race itself was won by Mercedes‘ George Russell, grabbing his first win at the track ahead of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.

However, tensions had threatened to boil over in F1‘s first-ever heat hazard race as Oscar Piastri blasted an “unfair” ruling from the stewards after a lap 1 collision with McLaren team-mate Norris.
