Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen will be looking to keep his championship hopes alive as he eyes the elusive Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit on Sunday.
The Singapore GP remains the only race in the 2025 F1 calendar where Verstappen is yet to assert his dominance during the course of his splendid career that includes four back-to-back Championships.

F1 Singapore GP: Qualifying Result
Verstappen, though, won't be starting from pole position on Sunday, having finished behind George Russell in qualifying.
The Mercedes driver delivered a commanding performance in qualifying to edge out the defending champion, who will start the race in P2.
Verstappen, though, blamed Lando Norris for impeding his final lap, even issuing a warning to his McLaren rival, "It will be remembered".
Championship leader Oscar Piastri delivered yet another strong performance and will start in P3.
Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will start in P6 and P7 respectively, while Williams' Carlos Sainz, along with his teammate, Alexander Albon were shockingly disqualified due to rear wing technical infringements. Not a very smooth operation for the former Ferrari driver.
Russell's strong show in qualifying sets the stage perfectly for the Singapore GP's Marina Bay Street Circuit, where overtaking becomes notoriously difficult.
