  1. Lewis Hamilton continues to keep himself at the top of the leaderboard.

    The Ferrari man is on a lap time of 1:31.529.

    I wonder if his guest in the Ferrari garage is bringing him good luck.

  2. Danger zone

    11. Pierre Gasly (Alpine)

    12. Esteban Ocon (Haas)

    13. Oliver Bearman (Haas)

    14. Carlos Sainz (Williams)

    15. Franco Colapinto (Alpine)

    16. Gabriel Bortoleto (Audi)

  3. 'Piastri taking a risk'

    He's playing with fire there, Oscar Piastri, running quite wide at the exit of Turn 18 and Turn 19. It's a little bit bumpy out there, so he's taking a bit of a risk, and it doesn't look like he's got the front end where he wants it, turning into those final corners.

  4. Team radio - Verstappen to Red Bull

    Max Verstappen: "Insanely, Insanely bad. Downshifts are so bad."

  5. Max Verstappen has found himself in third in the Red Bull but he is not happy with his gearbox. Oh dear.

    His team-mate Isack Hadjar had to abort qualifying with an issue on his Red Bull.

  6. Hamilton fastest

    Here comes Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari and he is four tenths faster than the Mercedes.

    It is a lap time of 1:31.766 for the Brit.

  7. Mercedes' George Russell is the first to pop a lap time on the board, it is a time of 1:32.323 for him.

    But here comes Kimi Antonelli to take the top spot. 1:32.165 for the championship leader.

    For the drivers, this is a tough race, with warm conditions, lots of concentration required to weave your way through the streets. There are bumpy braking zones, changes of surface and no room for error.

    It's also mental fatigue. They've already had a taste of that this morning.

  9. Go! Go! Go!

    Here we go again. Time for Q2. I would very much appreciate it if we keep the yellow flags away for the rest of the session please.

    The drivers are making their way out of the pit lane and onto the circuit.

    The floodlights have lit up the track in Singapore - I do love a night race.

  10. Albon out-qualified by Sainz

    I tell you who it is disappointing for as well, Alex Albon. Looking at the qualifying head-to-head, he's being beaten 12-4 by Williams team-mate Carlos Sainz - and that's going to be 13 now for Sainz, because he's out-qualified his team-mate once again.

    Albon is not enjoying life at the moment.

  11. Red Bull's Max Verstappen found himself in eighth at the end of Q1. He is through to the next part of qualifying, can he get pole? After winning the sprint race he said he wants to win Sunday's race.

    Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz is through to Q2 in the Williams.

  12. Tyres for Singapore

    The C3 hard tyres, C4 mediums and C5 softs have been selected for the Singapore race weekend.

    The intermediates and full wet compounds are also available, if rain is on the radar.

    If F1 was a movie (what an idea) then Lando and Oscar would be finishing P1 and P2 at the end of qualifying today.

    Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad shoots out of 19th and into the top 10.

    Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari leads his team-mate Charles Leclerc in a one-two for Q1.

    Lando Norris is third, Liam Lawson fourth and Oscar Piastri in fifth.

    That was a lovely drive from Liam Lawson in the Racing Bulls, he finds himself up at the top of the leaderboard.

  15. Team radio - Antonelli to Mercedes

    Kimi Antonelli: "I need to abort the lap. Are we safe?"

    17. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)

    18. Alex Albon (Williams)

    19. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)

    20. Sergio Perez (Cadillac)

    Track evolution is always extremely high here and we've already had that downpour of rain earlier on, and no drivers went out on the slick [tyres] during the sprint race.

  18. Over a minute to go.

    Arvid Lindblad is currently in 19th, can the rookie driver get himself out of the drop zone and into Q2?

  19. This is a Saturday to forget for Isack Hadjar.

    The Red Bull man was out of the sprint race with an issue to his car.

    He thanked his team for fixing his Red Bull before qualifying but after a few issues, he is out before the end of Q1.

    One thing to note, Lewis Hamilton is on a brand new set of soft tyres compared to the likes of Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen, who have all set their times on a used set of softs.
