2017 Singapore GP, qualifying: live results and updates. Seb and Kimi are ready to challenge Mercedes for a front row start.

Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel are Lewis Hamilton are neck-and-neck in the 2017 F1 Championship drivers standings and their rivalry will be renewed this weekend at dusk when in sweltering conditions, the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix gets underway. Everything points to an eventful race this time around, but given the track track characteristics of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the qualifying session will be a lot more important than in the previous two races, as the twisty Singapore track makes it difficult for drivers to pass.

Lewis Hamilton just overtook Sebastian Vettel in the Formula 1 Driver Standings after the Belgian Grand Prix and the race in Italy, but looks set to relinquish top spot as the German’s Ferrari could be better suited than the Brit’s Mercedes to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Follow us in the afternoon for the latest news, updates and results from the Marina Bay Street Circuit as the qualifying session ahead of the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix will take place, with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at the wheel of the SF70H car ready to fight with Mercedes and Red Bull for pole position in Singapore.
