Ferrari F1 title hopes shatter in dramatic Singapore multi-car shunt

During the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix, a multi-car collision involving Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, and Max Verstappen severely impacted Ferrari's championship hopes. The incident occurred at the start of the race when Vettel moved to block Verstappen, unaware that Raikkonen had made a strong start on the inside. This resulted in a crash that eliminated all three drivers before the first lap was completed.

Lewis Hamilton capitalised on the chaos, taking the lead and eventually winning the race, extending his championship lead over Vettel. The FIA investigated the incident and deemed it a racing incident, with no driver found predominantly at fault. Following the race, Ferrari's social media post blamed Verstappen, while Vettel and Raikkonen offered limited comments on the crash.
