Multiple Singapore GP winner Sebastian Vettel will start Sunday's race from 22nd and last place after failing to get out of Q1.
The German was not able to do a representative lap time after suffering a rear suspension failure right at the start of the session. He stayed out and tried to do a flying lap as the team knew it wouldn't have time to fix the issue before the flag.
"Already in the first lap, going into turn one, something happened," said Vettel. "Then in turn two, through turn five, I felt that the car was not the same. So far we don't really know what happened.
"Initially, I thought it was at the front, but then it felt like the rear bar had broken. I hadn't felt anything wrong in P3.
"Then I wanted to come into the box, but in the end we decided to stay out, and then we came in because it was hopeless anyway, we were just not quick enough, and there was no time within three or four minutes to fix the problem.
"For tomorrow we have a long race in front of us, with a lot of safety cars. At least we have some new tires, and even if for sure it is not an ideal situation. We can still have a good race."
