Lando Norris has edged ahead of his title rival Max Verstappen to start on pole position for the Singapore Grand Prix.

The three-time world champion was called to see the stewards in Singapore following the first free practice session on Friday, after which the FIA announced that he was in breach of their international sporting code and would be forced to undertake duties similar to community service within F1.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown wants his team to avoid falling victim to a "poison" internal culture like the one he believes has plagued rivals Red Bull this season.
