#F1 #SingaporeGP #Formula1 - Verstappen Takes Sprint Pole Amid F1 Overtake Mode Controversy | Singapore Grand Prix 2026: Autosport

9 October 2026

Jake Boxall-Legge is reporting from the ground in Singapore after a dramatic Friday at Marina Bay, with Max Verstappen taking sprint pole and a technical issue with F1’s overtake mode becoming the major talking point. Verstappen set a 1m31.156s to head George Russell in sprint qualifying, with Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton completing the top five. But the session was overshadowed by an FIA system issue following Sergio Perez’s Q1 red flag, which saw overtake mode briefly reactivated before being switched off again. Jake explains what happened, which drivers may have been affected and why the incident has left several teams questioning whether the playing field was level. There is also an important early read on Mercedes’ split-spec experiment, with Russell running the older package and Kimi Antonelli using a hybrid of the new and old specifications. Away from the immediate qualifying drama, Jake looks at the growing debate over Formula 1’s cost cap and capital expenditure rules, with Williams pushing for greater flexibility for teams still developing their facilities. With the sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying still to come, Jake looks ahead to what could be another unpredictable weekend under the Singapore lights. 00:00 Sprint qualifying recap 02:48 Overtake mode controversy explained 03:41 Who was affected? 04:59 The performance implications 06:06 Could the results be challenged? 07:25 Mercedes split-spec update 07:51 The F1 cost cap debate 09:40 How the rules affect teams 10:57 How rival teams see the issue 12:06 Looking ahead to Saturday

25 September 2026

George Russell produced a stunning lap to take pole position for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix — but how did Mercedes find so much pace? Stuart Codling breaks down an extraordinary qualifying session in Baku, where Russell claimed pole by eight-tenths of a second from Charles Leclerc and then backed it up with another huge lap. Behind him, Max Verstappen could only qualify eighth after an engine problem compromised his electrical deployment, while Kimi Antonelli crashed in Q1 and will start deep in the field. Stuart also looks at Ferrari’s qualifying execution, McLaren’s struggles for straight-line speed, Oscar Piastri’s near-miss for second, and Lando Norris’ continuing concerns about the MCL’s performance. Further down the grid, Carlos Sainz’s five-place penalty changes the starting order, Franco Colapinto moves up, and Oliver Bearman narrowly misses out on Q3. And what can we expect in Sunday’s race? Stuart looks at the likely tyre strategy, the importance of safety cars and the unpredictable Baku wind.
