Max Verstappen ended the final practice session of the Singapore Grand Prix with the fastest time of the weekend at the head of a top five separated by less than 0.09 seconds. Verstappen’s upgraded Red Bull Racing car looked at home around the Marina Bay streets in the late afternoon sun, propelling the Dutchman to a best time of 1m 30.148s. Verstappen has never taken pole in Singapore, and Red Bull Racing’s last P1 start in Marina Bay was in 2013. Though Verstappen’s lap was more than half a second quicker than Friday’s fastest time, the daytime conditions mean FP3 is unrepresentative of night-time qualifying later today and the evening race on Sunday. His late blast pipped George Russell, whose Mercedes was only 0.049s slower than Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing car, and the Briton suggested there was still more time on the table.
