Pilot “McLaren” Lando Norris set the fastest time in qualifying for the 18th round of the Formula 1 Championship, the Singapore Grand Prix.
In the third segment, the Briton, second in the championship, set his best lap in 1 minute 29.525 seconds. The second was the current champion and season leader Max Verstappen (Red Bull, +0.203 seconds). Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes, +0.316) took third place.
Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will start the race from the fifth row of the starting pack. Sainz crashed the car during the third segment, after which the session was interrupted by red flags. Because of this, most drivers only had time for one attempt, during which Leclerc committed an intrusion and his time was disqualified.
The race will take place on Sunday and will start at 15:00 (Moscow time).
