SingaporeGrand Prix

Thank you very much for joining us for this qualifying session, as Ver-stap-en finally has a chance to win around Singapore for the first time. Those Ferraris are going to be on his heels, no doubt, but it's all set up to be a great race tomorrow. Join us then as we start our live coverage in the build-up to the race, which gets going at 8pm local time, or 1pm in the UK. See you then!

How the top 10 lines up. So, here's a closer look at the top 10 at the end of qualifying: 1 Max Ver-stap-en 2 Charles Le-clair 3 Lewis Hamilton 4 Kimi An-toe-nelly 5 Lando Norris 6 George Russell 7 Oscar Pee-as-tree 8 Pierre Gasly 9 Liam Lawson 10 Arvid Lindblad Don't forget, Russell will go right to the back with his engine penalty, so it will be an all-McLaren third row in Singapore.

Max Ver-stap-en takes pole. He didn't need to improve his lap in the end, and it's another pole position for Max Ver-stap-en! Charles Le-clair will join him on the front row, with Lewis Hamilton and Kimi An-toe-nelly on the second row.

Hamilton doesn't improve!. Hamilton crosses the line, but he cannot find the time he needs! Charles Le-clair crosses the line, and pips his teammate for P 2!

Ver-stap-en heads out. Max Ver-stap-en is the final driver out of the pit lane, and preparation begins for the final runs in qualifying. Here we go!

Final run-up to the vital laps. The drivers are slowly re-emerging from the pit lane for the big one, their final laps of qualifying. Ver-stap-en currently leads Hamilton, An-toe-nelly, Le-clair and Norris in the top five. How will it shape up in just a few minutes?

Follow our live timing. Don't forget, you can also follow live timing from Singapore as qualifying happens to bring the final part of Q 3 to life as well. The drivers are in their garages, getting one last set of fresh tyres on before it's all to play for.

It's P 2 for Hamilton. Hamilton crosses the line and falls just short of Ver-stap-en's early benchmark, going 0 point 123 seconds behind the Red Bull. Kimi An-toe-nelly, meanwhile, splits the Ferraris to go third after the first runs.

Lando Norris goes third. Lando Norris sets a purple middle sector but cannot trouble Ver-stap-en for now, but Hamilton is just about level with the Red Bull driver midway through his lap...

Ver-stap-en sets a benchmark. A 1:31.373 is Max Ver-stap-en's first effort, as Charles Le-clair slots in behind.

Go, go, go!. Green light for Q 3, and the final 13 minutes of qualifying have started. The Mercedes duo lead the queue of cars out on track.

Who's taking pole?. Everything points to Hamilton vs Ver-stap-en for pole at this stage, but can anyone else interrupt the battle at the front?

Out in Q 2. That's that for Q 2, and we have out: Nico Hool-ken-berg Ollie Bearman Esteban Ocon Carlos Signs Gabriel Bor-toe-letto Franco Cola-pinto A thump in the wall for Cola-pinto out of Turn 17 didn't help his final lap, and Nico Hool-ken-berg is 11th. Again.

Ver-stap-en gets close. Max Ver-stap-en sets a purple first sector, drops back a bit in the middle sector and crosses the line 0 point 110 seconds behind Hamilton's benchmark. Not to guess too early, but it could well be between these two for pole on this evidence.

Lewis Hamilton finds even more time. Hamilton is on one at the moment, finding another quarter of a second to lower the bar to a 1:31.529. How many times has his lap around Marina Bay in 2018 been mentioned already this week?

Who's in danger?. Five minutes to go in Q 2, the bottom six are as follows: Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Ollie Bearman, Carlos Signs, Gabriel Bor-toe-letto and Franco Cola-pinto.

Norris closes in. Lando Norris crosses the line and puts himself 0 point 129 seconds off Hamilton's pace, taking a narrower line out of the final corners to shave a few centimetres off in the process.

Hamilton quickest again for now. Lewis Hamilton tops the standings again as the first runs are complete in Q 2, just about four tenths clear of Kimi An-toe-nelly and Max Ver-stap-en. The Ferrari driver looks in the groove early on in qualifying. Elsewhere, Ver-stap-en reports "insanely bad downshifts" on his Red Bull. We'll see how that one plays out.

Here we go again. Q 2 is underway! The drivers are back on track and we'll see who can put themselves into the mix for the top 10 shootout.

Hamilton tops Q 1. At the sharp end, Lewis Hamilton was three tenths clear of Charles Le-clair at the top of qualifying, with Lando Norris and the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson completing the top four.

Out in Q 1. That's that in Q 1, and here are the drivers to fall: Fernando Alonso Alex Albon Lance Stroll Sergio Perez Valtteri Bottas Isack Hadjar It's a first Q 1 exit of the season for Hadjar.

Final laps on their way. George Russell is worth keeping an eye on here, he crossed the line P 10 on his final effort, but looks to be safe for now. Arvid Lindblad flies up the rankings to 8th, meanwhile.
