What happened: Nico Hulkenberg and Oliver Bearman were eliminated in Q2 at the Singapore Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon, Carlos Sainz, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Franco Colapinto also failed to advance to the final session.

Why it matters: The results lock in the middle rows of the starting grid for the Marina Bay Street Circuit race. Ocon's exit comes shortly after Haas confirmed he will part ways with the team following the 2026 season. The outcome echoes earlier qualifying struggles when Alpine, Haas and Williams missed Q3 at Silverstone.

By the numbers: Hulkenberg qualified 11th, followed by Bearman in 12th, Ocon in 13th, Sainz in 14th, Bortoleto in 15th, and Colapinto in 16th.

What to watch: The eliminated drivers will start Sunday's race from the sixth, seventh, and eighth rows of the grid.
