Sainz takes sensational Singapore pole after Red Bull meltdown
Carlos Sainz secured pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix, with George Russell starting alongside him, following an eventful qualifying session that saw both Red Bulls crash out. Sainz set a time of 1:31.170, 0.072s faster than Russell, using a fresh set of Soft tyres. Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris will begin on the second row. Max Verstappen failed to make it into the top ten for the first time this season, losing out to Liam Lawson in Q2, and he also faces investigations for impeding. Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Perez, also suffered an early exit after spinning in the second corner. Lance Stroll’s crash at the end of Q1 led to red flags and prevented other drivers from improving their times. As a result, Valterri Bottas, Oscar Piastri, and Logan Sargeant were also eliminated in Q1.
