On F1’s return to Singapore after three years away, a number of the frontrunners endured disrupted practice running on Friday, as Sainz led proceedings with a best lap of 1m42.587s to head a Ferrari 1-2 from team-mate Charles Leclerc in FP2.
Mercedes’ George Russell slotted into third ahead of F1 world championship leader Max Verstappen, who missed large chunks of the second practice session due to hefty set-up changes.
