Sergio Perez (MEX) Red Bull Racing RB18 sends sparks flying. 01.10.2022. Formula 1 World Championship, Rd 17, Singapore Grand Prix, Marina Bay Street Circuit, Singapore, Qualifying Day. – www.xpbimages.com, EMail: [email protected] © Copyright: Coates / XPB Images
Charles Leclerc will start from pole position for Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix – taking back-to-back poles at the Marina Bay Circuit – as he made the most of tricky wet/dry conditions to place his Ferrari at the top of the table.
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez will start alongside him in second, with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz making up the second row.
The times were incredibly close at the top with first to fourth covered by just over a tenth and a half.
Max Verstappen, who could win the title this weekend, was left in a very unhappy mood when he was forced to abandon his flying lap – which would have been quick enough for pole.
