Max Verstappen secured pole position for the Singapore Sprint, edging Mercedes’ George Russell by 0.120 seconds in a competitive qualifying session at Marina Bay. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished third, with Verstappen recording a fastest lap of 1m 31.156s. However, his pole position remained subject to a stewards’ investigation over a possible yellow-flag infringement.

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris qualified fourth and fifth, respectively, while Lewis Hamilton took sixth for Ferrari. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished seventh, ahead of Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson.

Isack Hadjar and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly completed the top 10, although both had lap times deleted in the final qualifying segment. Franco Colapinto narrowly missed out on the top 10, finishing 11th.

Further down the grid, Arvid Lindblad qualified 17th, while Williams’ Alex Albon led the backmarkers in 19th. Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez will start from the back row, with Perez triggering an early red flag after hitting the barriers.

With four teams showing competitive pace, Saturday’s 21-lap Singapore Sprint promises an intriguing battle, provided Verstappen’s qualifying result survives the stewards’ investigation.
