Lando Norris topped the Friday practice times for McLaren ahead of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Here’s how and when to watch qualifying.
The British driver led FP2 by just 0.058s over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, with the pair comfortably clear of the rest of the field during the qualifying simulation runs on Friday night.
Carlos Sainz slotted into third in the sister Ferrari, 12 months on from winning the Singapore GP, with RB enjoying an impressive day with Yuki Tsunoda fourth and under-pressure Daniel Ricciardo sixth – as the Australian is rumoured to be replaced by Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season.
Azerbaijan GP winner Oscar Piastri split the RBs in fifth, with George Russell in seventh for Mercedes who saw his day ended prematurely when he nosed his car into the wall at Turn 8 in the closing minutes of FP2.
It was a difficult Friday for Red Bull with Sergio Perez eighth and Max Verstappen 15th on the FP2 times – while the Dutch driver was given a public interest work punishment by the FIA stewards for swearing in the Thursday press conference.
Meanwhile, McLaren will modify its rear wing after being asked by the FIA in the wake of its 'mini-DRS' controversy.
