It's all over! Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Ferrari has qualified in pole position, with Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull in 2nd and Kimi Raikkonen in 3rd.

Looks as though Mercedes are stumped by Ferrari and Red Bull, who look incredibly quick today.

4 minutes to go for qualifying, and Bottas is back on track, as are Hamilton, Rosberg and Ricciardo.

Q3 is underway at the Marina Bay Circuit! With 8 minutes to go, Daniel Ricciardo sets a top time of 1:44.607 and he's followed by teammate Daniil Kvyat with 1:44.742. Vettel has a swift Q3 and with 1:44.503, he's leading the pack.

Both McLarens are out of Q2, as are both Force India drivers. Carlos Sainz Jr of Toro Rosso hits the wall at the end of Q2 and that's the end of qualifying for him too.

Nearing the end of Q2, and it looks as though both McLarens will be out. McLaren have not made Q3 at any race this season, and it looks as though this will be repeated today.

Both Ferraris currently on top in the timesheets with 4 minutes to go in Q2. Sebastian Vettel in P1 has 1:44.743 and pits, followed by Kvyat and Kimi Raikkonen.

Bottas is out and sets a 1:46.247 on lap 1, but he's been outpaced by teammate Felipe Massa with 1:45.701. Hamilton is out with 1:45.650, but ahead of him are both Red Bulls, Daniil Kvyat in P1 and Daniel Ricciardo in P2.

Daniil Kvyat of Red Bull leads the timesheets at the end of Q1 at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Q1 is OVER. Lotus' Pastor Maldonado, Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson of Sauber, and Will Stevens of Manor-Marussia are all out. So is Stevens' teammate Alexander Rossi, who has made his F1 debut today, replacing Roberto Merhi. Jenson Button has just about managed to scrape through Q1.

All drivers are on soft tyres at the Marina Bay Circuit with the exception of Scuderia Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, according to Martin Brundle.

With under 7 minutes to go in Q1, Ferrari is doing well as Vettel continues his pacesetting from FP3. He's followed by Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull and his own Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who's in P3.

With an hour to go until Qualifying, Ferrari lead the timesheets at FP3. Mercedes led FP1 with Nico Rosberg, while Red Bull led FP2 with Daniil Kvyat. A different team each time, so this Grand Prix should be quite interesting.

Although Daniil Kvyat of Red Bull Racing looked strong yesterday, it is the Ferraris who are on top today, with four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel going P1 with a time of 1:45.682, and teammate Kimi Raikkonen behind him in P2.

Free Practice 3 has ended at Singapore's Marina Bay Circuit. It's both anticlockwise and one of the only two fully night races on the F1 calendar. The street circuit winds through the island nation, and the race has been in existence in 2008.
