F1 LIVE | Russell takes stunning pole ahead of Verstappen!

Qualifying will begin at 21:00 local time at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, which corresponds to 14:00 BST / 15:00 CET for European fans.

According to the FIA’s weather report, air temperatures will be around 30°C, with track temperatures ranging from 32 to 37°C during the session.

There is a less than 20 percent chance of rain. Wind gusts are expected to range from 10 to 20 kilometres per hour today.

The second free practice session is considered the most representative session of the weekend, as FP1 and FP3 are not run under Singapore’s night conditions.

Oscar Piastri topped the exciting session at the Marina Bay Street Circuit with two red flags and a pit lane incident.

Max Verstappen set the third-fastest time in his RB21, equipped with a new front wing update, finishing behind championship leader Piastri and Isack Hadjar.

Lando Norris ended the session in fifth after being caught up in an incident with Charles Leclerc in the pit lane. The stewards handed Ferrari a €10,000 fine after the session.

Will McLaren be the favourites? Who can challenge the Woking-based team—Red Bull, Mercedes, or Ferrari? Or will another team spring a surprise?
