2024 F1 Singapore Grand Prix - Qualifying - As it happened
A recap of what happened in qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen has a 59-point lead heading into this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix over Lando Norris.
With Red Bull expecting another tough weekend, it's a great opportunity for Norris at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
McLaren haven't stood on the podium in Singapore since 2012 with Jenson Button, however, given their recent run of form, they're surely favourites to do so.
Ferrari and Charles Leclerc will fancy their chances of a strong weekend, often performing best on street circuits like Monaco, Baku and Singapore.

Good morning everyone
Hello everyone and welcome to the Crash.net live blog for the Singapore Grand Prix. It was a fascinating Friday with Ferrari and McLaren at the front of the field.
On the other hand, it was a miserable day for Mercedes and particularly Red Bull.
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were nowhere pace-wise - and could be in a fight to get into Q3.
Final practice kicks off in just over 20 minutes' time.
