F1 Qualifying Today: Singapore Grand Prix 2025 start time, TV channel and FREE live stream

A vital qualifying session takes place TODAY (Saturday, October 4) for the 2025 F1 Singapore Grand Prix.

McLaren head into the competitive session as favourites to take pole position, particularly after Oscar Piastri's searing pace that was on show during Friday's second practice session.

The papaya F1 squad are relying on a decent performance from Piastri and team-mate Lando Norris this weekend to wrap up the 2025 constructors' championship title, and they'll be hoping for a strong qualifying session to put them in a good position to do just that on Sunday.

However, Max Verstappen - as always - will be looking to spoil the party. The four-time world champion has already claimed six pole positions in 2025 despite McLaren's dominance, and now has a sniff of a championship challenge.

The Dutchman is just 69 points behind championship leader Piastri with seven race weekends remaining, and will likely sense that his pursuit of a record-equalling fifth consecutive drivers' title is now back on track.

But Verstappen has never won the Singapore GP, with the Marina Bay Street Circuit being the only track on the current calendar that Verstappen has not tasted victory at.

Here are your timings for Saturday's crucial qualifying session.
