F1 Qualifying Today: Singapore Grand Prix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

Qualifying for the 2025 F1 Singapore Grand Prix takes place TODAY (Saturday, October 4).

McLaren are looking to seal the constructors' championship title this weekend, with their drivers just needing to secure 13 points in order to make it mathematically impossible for their rivals to catch them.

In that sense, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be battling it out for pole at Marina Bay Street Circuit, with the two McLaren stars also in a battle for the drivers' championship.

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.
