What to expect at the Singapore GP Qualifying?
The Singapore GP weekend saw some brilliant action at the Free Practice Sessions which always take place before the racers dive into the Qualifiers. In the first Free Practice session, Lewis Hamilton got the lead of the pack, and everyone at Mercedes were quite encouraged by the results. And in the second Free Practice, it was a Ferrari lockout in the first two places on the charts. FP3 saw similar trends as Charles Leclerc surpassed Verstappen in the wet weather conditions to grab the lead. Thus, Max Verstappen was not at the top in any of the three FPs that took place before Qualifying.
But that does not mean the Red Bull beast will be shying away from vying for the pole position at the Qualifying. The Dutchman is expected to make a splash on Saturday, and he might also have a fierce competition with Charles Leclerc, who is known for perfect performances at Qualifying sessions. And there is some looming threat from the Mercedes racers as well. So, it can be said that the fans are in for an amazing visual treat at the Singapore GP Qualifying.
