We thought this year's F1 Singapore Grand Prix (SGP) will be uneventful because of the haze and our nation's collective GE hang-over.
We were wrong.
Yesterday, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel surprised everyone by claiming pole position ahead of Mercedes' world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Today, the dramatic SGP is the most talked-about topic on Twitter.

And we hope they are not just talking about this man on the track.

Because he just caused a traffic jam at SGP.

Anyway, the folks at Straits Times Sports Desk are clearly enjoying this light-hearted moment:
#SingaporeGP Safety car is out - because a fan decides to walk on the track. That's a line we never thought we'd say. #F1NightRace — ST Sports Desk (@STsportsdesk) September 20, 2015
#SingaporeGP Vettel sums it up best: "There is a man on the track, man on the track!" #F1NightRace

For the record, this is not the man on the track. #SingaporeGP #F1NightRace #FYI pic.twitter.com/SlGOzCmngC — ST Sports Desk (@STsportsdesk) September 20, 2015
Correction: Not a fan. Looks like a man. Definitely an idiot.

Even Minister for Social and Family development Tan Chuan-Jin is curious who the man was: By the way, Vettel won the SGP again.
