A Swedish fan will stand trial in Singapore.
Formula 1 circuits are isolated from the rest of the world on Grand Prix days. Anyone who wants to get inside must have a ticket and pass multiple checks. But in Singapore a 22-year-old fan got onto the circuit without a ticket and now faces jail or a fine.
Local mothership.sg reports that on October 6 a Swedish citizen, Alkallas Karam, was charged with illegally entering Grand Prix premises, specifically the racetrack, the pit lane and the Paddock Club without a valid entry ticket.
On October 4 at about 19:47 Karam entered through Gate No. 1 on Republic Boulevard without a ticket. At about 20:40 he entered the Paddock Club, and at about 21:00 he went onto the pit lane.
This offence is punishable under Article 447 of the Penal Code. If convicted, the offender faces imprisonment for up to three months, a fine of 1,500 Singapore dollars, or both.
