Lando Norris will start from pole position for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Here’s how and when you can watch the race.
The McLaren driver saw off world title rival Max Verstappen to take pole position in Singapore, as Carlos Sainz crashed during Q3.
But the focus at the Marina Bay circuit was stolen by Verstappen’s protest in the FIA press conference after qualifying, as he gave limited answers before choosing to speak to the media outside and explained the move as a reaction to being given community service for swearing in Thursday’s FIA press conference.
Lewis Hamilton, who qualified third and joined Verstappen in the press conference, said he hoped the Red Bull driver ignored the FIA punishment.
George Russell made it an all-Mercedes second row in fourth, ahead of Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren and Nico Hulkenberg in the Haas.
Fernando Alonso took seventh in qualifying for Aston Martin ahead of RB’s Yuki Tsunoda, as Ferrari endured a nightmare Q3 when Charles Leclerc suffered with tyre warm-up and Sainz crashed to leave the pair in ninth and 10th place respectively.
Sergio Perez dropped out in Q2 for Red Bull and will start 13th, while Daniel Ricciardo suffered a Q1 exit meaning he will start 16th as speculation on his future at RB continues to mount.
