F1 Qualifying: Singapore Grand Prix start time and TV channel

It's one of the most highly anticipated races of the year so far with Red Bull appearing to show weakness heading into qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix.

All 20 drivers will take to the track in the hope of producing a blistering lap to set themselves up for a strong race on Sunday.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull have won every race of the season so far but struggled in Friday practice and in a very rare turn of events look to be severely on the back foot ahead of qualifying.
