Overview

  • Franco Colapinto was knocked out in Q1 and initially set to start 18th before post‑qualifying checks reshuffled the order.
  • FIA scrutineering found DRS rear‑wing clearance irregularities on Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, excluding both and sending them to the back.
  • George Russell secured pole position ahead of Max Verstappen with Oscar Piastri third, locking in the front rows for Marina Bay.
  • Pierre Gasly suffered a qualifying problem and will start 18th, as Alpine continues to lack consistent race pace and Colapinto remains without points in 2025.
  • Practice running was disrupted by heat, red flags and incidents including Russell’s crash, Lawson’s heavy contact and an Albon fire, with the race scheduled for Sunday 09:00 (Argentina) on Disney+ and Fox Sports.
