Formula 1: Lando Norris Claims Pole Following Sainz’s Crash In Singapore Qualifying

By IANS News September 21, 2024 • 21:10 PM View: 987

Singapore Grand Prix: Lando Norris claimed pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix after getting the better of championship rival Max Verstappen in Saturday night’s qualifying session at Marina Bay, which included a crash for Carlos Sainz at the start of Q3.

McLaren driver Norris produced a blistering time of 1m 29.525 seconds in what was effectively a one-lap shootout following Sainz’s shunt, finishing a couple of tenths clear of Verstappen’s Red Bull and another tenth ahead of the Mercedes drivers.

Lewis Hamilton bounced back from some recent qualifying struggles – and balance issues throughout practice – to pip teammate George Russell to third, with the other McLaren of Oscar Piastri having to settle for fifth position.
