Max Verstappen will start Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix from a shock 11th place after Lance Stroll crashed out at 110mph and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz took pole position. On a wild night at the Marina Bay Circuit, both Red Bull drivers were eliminated in Q2 leaving the world champions facing an enormous task to retain their unbeaten record this season. George Russell qualified second, missing out on pole by just 0.072 seconds with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari, one place ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton finished fifth, half-a-second back. Verstappen was eliminated in Q2 after he bemoaned the handling of the Red Bull machine which has carried him to a record 10 consecutive wins, but has struggled under the bulbs that light up this unique 3.07-mile high-downforce track. Verstappen missed out on Q3 by 0.007 sec, and then took aim at his team over the radio. “I don’t know if you saw that, but it was an absolutely shocking experience,” he said amid of flurry of expletives. Verstappen is also facing three stewards’ investigations for separate incidents of impeding during qualifying. His team-mate Sergio Perez, who spun, also failed to progress to Q3. He will start 13th following a miserable night for the team from Milton Keynes in the city-state. Red Bull’s demise allowed Sainz to capture his second consecutive pole with Russell narrowly missing out. Earlier, Stroll survived a staggering crash. The Canadian driver lost control of his Aston Martin through the final left-hander before he slammed into the barrier. The force of the high-speed impact sent Stroll’s head rocking from side-to-side. He catapulted back across the track with Norris forced to take evasive action – dodging a flying wheel and Stroll’s out-of-control machine. “Is the driver alright?” asked Norris on the radio. “That must have been quite a big one.” Stroll pirouetted to a standstill in the middle of the track before his race engineer Ben Michell came on the radio. “Lance, car is safe,” said Michell. “Are you OK?” Stroll, 24, replied: “Yeah, I am OK.” The Aston Martin driver emerged from his wrecked car unaided before being taken off to the medical centre. Aston Martin confirmed Stroll had been given the all-clear by the on-site medical team and was allowed to return to the paddock. Stroll’s accident brought a premature end to a frenetic conclusion to Q1 and left the marshals with a significant barrier repair job at the final corner, with fluid from his car also on the track. The session was delayed for 34 minutes before Q2 started at 9.53pm local time.

Jake Paul has opened up about why he has not publicly defended his brother Logan Paul amid his beef with Dillon Danis who has been sharing crass images of Nina Agdal, Paul's fiance. The bad blood between social media personality turned boxer Logan Paul and mixed martial artist Danis comes as the pair are due to fight in Manchester in October. Being dragged into the feud is Logan’s supermodel partner, who has found herself trending on Twitter after speculation that she was featured in a leaked X-rated video. However, further investigations suggested it was not her in the clip. Danis also insulted Agdal on X/Twitter, writing: “Told Logan to his face he’s marrying a sl*t and he didn’t do s**t about it.” Jake Paul, who is also a YouTuber-turned-boxer, has finally opened up about the beef between his brother and the fighter. In a video posted on his Instagram stories, Jake responded to those who have claimed he has been a “bad brother” to Logan amid the ongoing feud. Jake said: “People are saying, ‘Jake, you haven’t come to your brother’s defence’… like, defence of what? Logan is going to knock the f**king s**t out of this kid, that’s all that matters. “The rest is just sales for the fight, making the fight bigger, and making my brother more money. Defence of somebody over little, widdle, bitty tweets? Like, bro, we’re grown men here. We’ve seen so much worse than this. So, Logan doesn’t need my help defending anything.” Logan and Danis are due to fight on 14 October in Manchester, which will be on the same card as KSI vs. Tommy Fury.
