Qualifying at Sepang is back for the first time since 2017. The 5.543km circuit combines long straights, fast corners, big braking zones and huge track temperatures β and Saturday carries a 40% chance of rain. π΄ FERRARI F1 β LECLERC + HAMILTON Leclerc topped FP2 and Hamilton finished fifth, giving Ferrari real momentum heading into qualifying. Hamilton also shares the all-time Sepang pole record with Michael Schumacher on five. Can Ferrari put an SF-26 on pole? π΅ MAX VERSTAPPEN + RED BULL Verstappen topped FP1 and stayed close to the front in FP2 without using the soft tyre. Red Bull also had Isack Hadjar second in FP2. Max could be a major threat when the fuel comes out and the soft tyres go on. β« MERCEDES F1 β RUSSELL + ANTONELLI George Russell and championship leader Kimi Antonelli have a huge qualifying session ahead. Mercedes have been expected to suit Sepang, but Ferrari and Red Bull have already shown serious pace. π§‘ McLAREN F1 β NORRIS + PIASTRI Lando Norris was third in FP2 and McLaren remain in the fight. Can Norris or Oscar Piastri find the final tenths when it matters most? π§οΈ RAIN COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING Saturday's forecast includes a 40% chance of rain. At Sepang, one sudden shower can transform qualifying, destroy a run plan and create a completely unexpected grid. π F1 LIVE TIMING + MINI TRACK β’ Q1 Live β’ Q2 Live β’ Q3 Live β’ F1 Live Timing β’ Mini track visuals β’ Sector-by-sector analysis β’ Pole-position battle β’ Tyres and track evolution β’ Team radio reaction β’ Tony Craig F1 Live commentary π F1 LIVE CHAT Who takes pole?
