George Russell topped the second qualifying session on Saturday at the Singapore Grand Prix after officials cleared Pierre Gasly's stalled Alpine from Turn 11. Max Verstappen set the initial benchmark at 1:29.747, but Russell surged past the Red Bull driver on fresh tires. Kimi Antonelli briefly claimed the fastest time before Russell's final effort relegated the Mercedes junior driver to third position.
Oscar Piastri advanced to the final qualifying round with the second-quickest lap on used tires, and Lewis Hamilton secured seventh place. Charles Leclerc scraped through to the third session in sixth position after lifting off on an earlier attempt. Yuki Tsunoda, Carlos Sainz, and Nico Hulkenberg fell into the elimination zone, and they will start outside the top 10 positions.
Lando Norris qualified fourth ahead of Piastri, while Fernando Alonso, Isack Hadjar, and Oliver Bearman completed the Q3 field. Antonelli's disqualified lap initially raised concerns about his progression, but the 18-year-old Italian recovered to join Russell in the final session. The Marina Bay Circuit street race continues on Sunday with teams battling for podium positions under the lights.
