OFFICIAL GRID: Who’s where in Singapore as Hadjar and both Aston Martins start from pit lane

Max Verstappen will start Singapore’s famous night race from pole position for the first time, after the Red Bull driver edged out Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by just a tenth of a second in Qualifying around the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Hot on their heels at lights-out will be Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari and the Mercedes of championship leader Kimi Antonelli, followed by the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Mercedes’ George Russell split the papaya cars in the times, but is demoted to the back of the grid with engine change penalties.

Pierre Gasly put Alpine into Q3 yet again and starts seventh, ahead of the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, with Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg rounding out the top 10.

Three drivers start from the pit lane. Isack Hadjar, who failed to set a Qualifying time after his Red Bull was hit by mechanical trouble in Q1, has had set-up changes and new power unit elements. Joining him are both Aston Martins with revised set-ups. Fernando Alonso, who qualified 17th - team mate Lance Stroll was 19th - has also taken on new power unit elements.
