Overview
- Max Verstappen secured sprint pole on Friday with a fastest lap of 1:31.156 around the 4.927 km Marina Bay street circuit.
- George Russell and Charles Leclerc qualified second and third with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris completing the top five.
- The sprint is 21 laps, equal to one‑third of the full race, and will award short‑format points while setting the starting order for Sunday’s 62‑lap Grand Prix.
- Race officials have said the official sprint grid could be affected if stewards impose a sanction over a yellow‑flag passing incident that is under review.
- Verstappen’s pole continues a recent upswing in form that began in Azerbaijan and followed his first win of the season in Malaysia, and the weekend is the 17th round of the 2026 championship.
