F1 Qualifying Results: Lewis Hamilton shines as British star takes pole at Singapore Grand Prix
F1 champion Lewis Hamilton staged at stunning return to form at the Singapore Grand Prix while his compatriot George Russell secured pole position.
Russell beat Max Verstappen to claim his seventh career pole position under the floodlights, with Oscar Piastri in third and Lando Norris all the way down in fifth.
Hamilton was fastest during Q1, making the most of the track evolution to secure the fastest time ahead of rivals George Russell and Lando Norris.
The Brit crucially outqualified his team-mate Charles Leclerc and appeared much more confident in the SF-25, with the Ferrari pair in sixth and seventh respectively.
Elsewhere in Q1, Pierre Gasly stopped out on track after reporting an issue with his Alpine, prompting a yellow flag and ruining any subsequent laps for drivers.

How does F1 Qualifying work?
The qualifying session is split into three finite windows, which provide a dramatic prelude to Sunday's race.
The bottom five drivers are eliminated at the end of Q1, with a further five eliminated after Q2.
