Red Bull's Max Verstappen claimed pole position for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix, finishing 0.054 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, with Lewis Hamilton third. It is his 50th career pole and completes a strong Saturday after he also won the rain-hit sprint race at the Marina Bay street circuit, though he has never won the Singapore race itself and admits his starts remain a weakness. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who leads the drivers' championship, qualified fourth, while teammate George Russell must start from the back after an engine change.
