F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2023 Start Time Schedule Weather Forecast How to Watch TV Today

A remarkable qualifying session under the lights at the Marina Bay circuit saw Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz edge George Russell’s Mercedes to claim his second pole position in as many races. Charles Leclerc will start third ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton.

But it was Red Bull’s demise – the undefeated tour de force of this most one-sided of seasons – that left people here in shock and awe. Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez also failed to reach Q3. He will line up 13th for Sunday’s 62-lap race. Verstappen has always struggled at this track and suffered a qualifying crash here last year.

Earlier, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll spun away from a staggering 110 mph shunt, which ruled the Canadian out of the race. Stroll was able to climb unassisted from his car on Saturday, but Aston said in a statement that he was still sore and that the team also had a huge job to do to repair the car in time for the night race.

Overtaking is quite difficult on these narrow, albeit picturesque, streets, so grid positions will prove vital to getting the lights out.
