Singapore GP Qualifying: George Russell claims stunning pole with Max Verstappen second and Lando Norris fifth | F1 News

George Russell performed a qualified performance under the spotlight to demand an amazing pool of Mercedes in the Grand Prix in Singapore, where Max Versaben outperformed second place also over the qualification of pioneering McLaren drivers.

On the pretext of the second pole of Mercedes in the first and first season since June, Russell delivered two girls in the Q3 Shootout, which was good enough to the first place – with the beginning to include beating against the wall in the penultimate corner.

The last time of a messenger of 1: 29.158 has proven enough to see Red Bull’s Verstapen, which can take condolences from the fact that he is superior to his competitors over the title Oscar Pestere and Lando Norris, where McLares ranked third and fifth, respectively.

But Versaben was frustrated by Norris, who accused him of settling for his final attempt to pole when McLaren was running in the final sector of the British title for drilling.

“You can thank your companion for that,” said Engineer Versapin Gianbiero Lambees.

The PiaSSTRI leader will start from the second grade head next to Kimi Antonelle in the second Mercedes, but Norris, who flows to his teammate by 25 points, will disappoint you to be in the fifth place on a path where the transcendence is difficult.

Although they showed an early promise of the Q1 pace with Luis Hamilton, Ferrari’s challenge was faded again when it was more important and qualified half a second than the introduction in the seventh and seventh place.

Hamilton will start his leading car for the fifth time on Sunday this year, surpassing Charles Licerk, who was almost launched in the second quarter, but none of the driver will be especially happy with his amazing start

Racing Bulls “Isack Hadjar and Haas” Oliver Berman and Aston Martin Fernando Alonso collected the best 10.

But after a clear step forward to qualify and finish the top ten in Baku, Red Ball’s problems from Yuki Tsunouda returned while leaving in the second quarter in the fifteenth place.

Tsunoda is also one of three drivers-teammates for the Sauper Nico Hulkenberg (11) and Jabriel Portolo (sixteenth) who are the other-in the face of investigations after the race due to the alleged bile violations in the first quarter.

Alex Albon, Carlos Science qualified Alex Albon and Carlos Science, respectively, in a row in Q2 in Q2, but both cars are now at risk of unprecedented and the background begins due to the incompatible DRS wings.

Russell is delivered as competitors to Mercedes at the stage

Two weeks ago on the streets of Baku, Russell fought a weekend disease to connect a strong campaign to reach second place to VersApet in the race.

Although the weekend in Singapore did not start promising when the British crashed in the second training session on Friday, Russell returned to the pace of the hour of the final practice that was delivered on Saturday.

Then he soon confirmed his place as a major competitor to the pole under the lights revealing the Marina Bay in the qualifiers.

Initially, I get the second rank to Hamilton in the first quarter, and Aristabeen exceeded in the second quarter, and then, despite the cutting of Wall 17 with his right frame, he immediately canceled a bosom at the beginning of the third quarter, which was four tenths of anything that appears in the qualifiers to this point.

Then the Mercedes driver 0.007S found his final attempt to put faster time on hand, as Verstapen and PiaSSTRI aborted their final shapes.

“It is surprising that you are in the pole,” said Russell, who will start from the F1 field for the seventh time on Sunday.

“Yesterday was a very difficult day for many different reasons, but it is good to return and get a result.

“A long race smells of sweat, but I learned that there was capabilities in the car. Kimi was doing a great work throughout the weekend. I gained a lot to see what he was able to do yesterday.”

Where did McLaren’s pace went?

But now three consecutive races without a column of the McLaren championship leaders, who have never been a pace for conditions with a Mercedes driver or Red Bull.

After rehabilitating 0.366s away from the pole, Andrea Stella told team leader Andrea Stel Sky SPORTS F1: “We have entered the qualifiers to achieve the location of the pole, but we see a pattern now where we have a lot of braking, bumps and restrictions, and we saw in Canada and Baku and now today, on this design, other cars are competitive.

“It is still a good position for the race.”

Looking at the Versappin-which needs to take out large parts of its 69-point deficit in each of the seven remaining races from the F1 to get any chance of the crown-only one place in front of it and his teammate begin Disorder.

“I wanted more today, but I don’t think we have four tenths to get the pole,” said Pastari.

“Ultimately, very happy. It was a good weekend so far and built well for her.

Norris was fighting his sickness at the end of this week and said: “I prefer today. Yesterday, I fought a little. You hit me very quickly. Maybe I am not perfect but there are no excuses for this day.

“Others have improved. Mercedes has done a good job. Red Paul was good at the last two weekends. Nothing is surprising.”

You need only one car on the Sunday platform, or two cars in the first seven places, it will be surprising now a big surprise if McLaren does not conclude the Championship on Sunday.

But returning to the racing roads for the first time since the end of August to deny either a messenger or Versapan Majd at Marina Bay is likely to prove that it is more striking.
