F1 Results Today: Singapore Grand Prix practice times – Ferrari top all 3 sessions

Max Verstappen's winning run looks under slight threat in Singapore this weekend, with the Dutchman failing to top the timesheets in any of the three practice sessions.

Saturday's FP3, which may not be entirely representative of qualifying and race pace thanks to the fact that it ran in the daytime, saw Verstappen complaining about his car's upshifts as he failed to even crack the top five.

Ferrari led both Friday practice sessions for the second race weekend in a row, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. topping the time sheets once each.

George Russell and Lewis Hamilton both performed strongly across both sessions, while the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were outpaced by the Prancing Horses – although it's difficult to know what kind of fuel loads and engine settings each team was running.

The most dramatic moment in the first session came when the yellow flag was deployed for a large lizard on the track not once, not twice, but three times, with drivers just starting to get used to the profile of the Marina Bay track.

McLaren's fresh upgrades seemed to be working well on Lando Norris' car, the British driver setting some impressive times around the street circuit – although his team-mate Oscar Piastri, without the upgrades, struggled.

Here are the timesheets from all the practice action at Marina Bay.
