George Russell will start from pole position at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix.

In 10 of the 15 previous editions of the Singapore Grand Prix, the driver starting from pole went on to win.

Defending world champion Verstappen completes the front row of the grid.

The Dutchman managed to outqualify both McLaren drivers. Oscar Piastri starts from third, while Lando Norris will line up right behind him in fifth position on the grid.

Kimi Antonelli completes the second row. The two Ferrari drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, will start from P6 and P7 respectively.

Poll

After qualifying, the two Williams drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon have both been disqualified, relegating them to the last two places on the grid.
