SINGAPORE — Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will start the Singapore Grand Prix from pole position after Red Bull rival Max Verstappen was asked to abort his final fastest effort in qualifying at the city-state's Marina Bay street track on Saturday (Oct 1).

The Moneca native set a time of one minute, 49.412 seconds and looked set to be usurped by the championship-leading Dutchman.

"It has been a very, very tricky qualifying," said Leclerc, who will have the Verstappen's team mate Sergio Perez alongside him on the front row after taking his ninth pole of the season.Leclerc was one of several drivers who looked like potential pole sitters over the course of a session that began on a damp track that later dried out.

But his Mercedes lacked grip on his final run with the Briton instead starting third, just 0.054 seconds off pole.
