Carlos Sainz Jr. is awarded Sprint Pole

If Carlos Sainz Jr. set the fastest valid qualifying lap time in the Sprint Qualifying session (SQ3) originally scheduled for October 9, 2026 that determines the starting grid for the sprint race at the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix, then the market resolves to Yes.

For the purposes of this market, Pole Position is awarded to the driver who records the fastest official lap time in the Sprint Qualifying session (SQ3) of the Grand Prix, as determined by the FIA’s published classification.

If Sprint Qualifying does not progress to SQ3 (e.g., weather, red flags, or format changes), Pole Position will be awarded based on FIA’s official qualifying results for that event.

Pole Position for this market is determined exclusively by the official "Final Sprint Qualifying Classification" and is not impacted by the final starting grid; any subsequent grid penalties or starting-order adjustments do not change who is deemed to have achieved Pole Position.

Main race qualifying sessions are not considered for this market.

If the sprint qualifying session is postponed but begins within 48 hours of its originally scheduled start time, the market will remain open and resolve based on the official final result.

If the sprint qualifying session is cancelled or not started within 48 hours of its originally scheduled start, all markets will resolve to a fair price.
