George Russell hailed taking an "amazing" pole position ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen for the Singapore Grand Prix, as the McLarens were outpaced around the Marina Bay Circuit on Saturday.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start on the second row after coming in third, four tenths of a second adrift of Russell, while his McLaren teammate Lando Norris was fifth.

Russell's blistering Q3 lap of 1 minute, 29.158 seconds was almost two tenths clear of Verstappen.
