Verstappen beats Russell to pole but faces investigation for yellow flag incident | Formula 1

Max Verstappen achieved pole position for the sprint race in Singapore, finishing ahead of George Russell. Verstappen's performance came after he overtook Lewis Hamilton during a yellow flag situation, which has led to an investigation by the race officials.

Verstappen's lap in the final qualifying session was enough to secure provisional pole, surpassing Charles Leclerc. Russell's strong lap in his Mercedes allowed him to join Verstappen on the front row, while Antonelli, running Mercedes' upgrade package, could only manage a seventh-place start.
