- Red Bull drivers fail to make Q3; world champion is 11th
- Ferrari driver shares front of the grid with George Russell
Carlos Sainz claimed pole for the Singapore Grand Prix putting in an immense lap for Ferrari on the streets of the Marina Bay circuit. Qualifying however was marked by a woeful performance for Red Bull in which both Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez failed to make Q3, going out in 11th and 13th place.
Sainz was inch-perfect under the floodlights to beat the Mercedes of George Russell into second place, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in third. McLaren’s Lando Norris was fourth and Lewis Hamilton fifth for Mercedes.
