Read our Privacy noticeWilliams drivers Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz have both been disqualified from qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix after their cars failed technical checks. A breach of F1’s technical regulations, regarding rear-wings, means their qualifying results were wiped from the leaderboard. Albon will therefore start 19th, with Sainz – who won in Singapore in 2023 – in 20th. George Russell took pole position and will start alongside Max Verstappen on the front row, with championship leader Oscar Piastri in third.
