Singapore Grand Prix polesitter Sebastian Vettel was left surprised by his qualifying pace, saying his car "came alive" in the final session.

After topping all three practice sessions in Singapore, Red Bull headed into qualifying looking like favourites to take pole position around the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Verstappen appeared to have translated Red Bull's pace into qualifying, until Vettel unleased a pair of sensational laps in Q3 to seal his fourth pole at the circuit by a margin of 0.3s.

"I don't know [where I found that time] and I struggled also this afternoon," Vettel explained.
