George Russell delivered a stunning lap to secure pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix, the 18th round of the 2025 Formula 1 season. The Mercedes driver outpaced the field in a dramatic qualifying session under the lights of Marina Bay.

After a series of underwhelming practice runs, Mercedes found pace when it mattered most — with Russell extracting everything from the car to earn his first pole since Silverstone.

Max Verstappen will line up alongside him on the front row, with the Red Bull driver narrowly missing out on P1 by just fractions of a second.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri qualified third for McLaren, maintaining a solid grid position as he continues to lead the drivers' standings.

There was a strong showing from Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who claimed P4 in the second McLaren — edging out teammate Lando Norris, who could only manage fifth.
