Russell Claims Singapore Pole, Verstappen Second

George Russell secured pole position for Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, marking a significant moment for the Mercedes team. The British driver posted the fastest time during Saturday’s qualifying session, edging out Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.

The qualifying results saw a reshuffling of the usual order, with Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) placing fourth, followed by Lando Norris (McLaren), Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc (both Ferrari). Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls), Oliver Bearman (Haas) and Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) completed the top ten.

German driver Nico Hülkenberg (Alfa Romeo) achieved a commendable starting position of 11th in the Singapore qualifying event. The race promises a compelling start for Russell as he looks to convert his pole position into race victory.
