George Russell took pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix as Max Verstappen got the better of his Formula 1 title rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Russell was 0.182 of a second faster than Verstappen in Saturday's qualifying session. Standings leader Piastri qualified third, with his McLaren teammate Norris fifth.

It's the second pole position of the year for Russell and the first for him and the Mercedes team since the Canadian Grand Prix in June, which he went on to win.
