SINGAPORE (AP) — Lando Norris edged ahead of his title rival Max Verstappen on Saturday to start on pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Qualifying turned into a one-lap shootout for the top positions when a crash for Carlos Sainz Jr. interrupted the final session.
“I was finding it a little difficult to progress much and to get a lot of lap time and more of the guys around seemed to get quicker and quicker,” Norris said.
"So it put me under a little bit more pressure, especially with just one lap at the end, but it was good enough for pole and I’m happy with that."
