| Welcome to F1-Live.com and live coverage of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. The 60-minute Saturday morning practice session gets underway shortly. |
| 18:52:19
| The Friday running saw Lewis Hamilton set the pace in the first session with a best lap of 1:45.518s, while Fernando Alonso used a set of super soft tyres in the second session to lead the way on a 1:45.654 with the McLaren driver a tenth adrift. |
| 18:54:11
| Felipe Massa looked strong in both sessions, setting the third fastest time in the second session while Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen admitted he went the wrong way on settings and was seventh fastest, nearly a second adrift. |
| 18:56:42
| Heikki Kovalainen posted the fourth best time in the second McLaren Mercedes ahead of Nico Rosberg who ran well with the Williams Toyota team, Robert Kubica for BMW Sauber, Raikkonen and Jenson Button in the leading Honda. |
| 18:58:15
| The new 5.067km Singapore circuit is quite bumpy in parts and for the modern generation of F1 drivers, this is an issue as they are now all use to billiard smooth track surfaces. Raising the ride height is one option but Jarno Trulli is one of many that hope to see some bumps removed in the short term. It remains to be seen if this is possible. |
| 19:00:09
| The 60-minute practice session is now underway and it is another dry evening in Singapore with an impressive sunset. |
| 19:00:51
| Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil are straight out for Force India followed by Glock, Trulli and others as they start an installation lap. |
| 19:01:33
| Most of the field is on track. They now have race engines fitted and any failure will result in a grid position penalty. |
| 19:02:20
| Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen and Barrichello remain in the pit lane. |
| 19:02:33
| The early runners are returning to the pit lane. |
| 19:04:21
| David Coulthard is slow on track in his Red Bull Renault. |
| 19:05:08
| It seems he has a gearbox shifting issue. He has now made it back to the Red Bull pit for attention. |
| 19:05:30
| Hamilton is now on his installation lap. |
| 19:07:36
| Hamilton pits as Timo Glock heads back out in his Toyota. Glock was tenth best in the second practice session yesterday. |
| 19:08:38
| No sign of the Ferrari duo yet. Glock is about to start the first timed lap of the session. |
| 19:09:59
| Trulli joins his Toyota team-mate on track. |
| 19:10:59
| Adrian Sutil is back out in his Force India as Glock posts a 1:48s lap, around a second off his Friday best. |
| 19:11:26
| Nick Heidfeld, 16th yesterday, is on track in his BMW Sauber. |
| 19:12:27
| Now Fernando Alonso is on track in his Renault. |
| 19:13:00
| Webber and Barrichello join the action. Glock is the only driver to set a time so far. |
| 19:13:45
| Kimi Raikkonen heads out as Trulli posts his first lap time at 1.5s off team-mate Glock. |
| 19:14:22
| Button and Piquet join the action with just over half of the field on track at this early stage. |
| 19:14:49
| Glock improves his own best as Fisichella slots into second ahead of Trulli and Sutil. |
| 19:15:15
| Heidfeld slots into second as Raikkonen starts his first timed lap. |
| 19:16:35
| A slow first lap from Alonso. Massa is now on track in the second Ferrari. |
| 19:16:56
| Piquet moves fastest for Renault from Glock, Heidfeld, Webber and Fisichella. |
| 19:17:52
| Piquet is already two-tenths up on his best Friday lap time. |
| 19:18:26
| A gain for Alonso as ge moves third fastest behind Renault team-mate Piquet and Glock. |
| 19:18:48
| Massa and Raikkonen on fast laps. |
| 19:19:22
| Raikkonen moves fastest on a 1:46.5, roughly the same time he recorded yesterday. |
| 19:19:35
| Massa's first lap moves him third fastest. |
| 19:20:41
| Glock is now on his second stint and moves to the top of the timesheets, three-tenths clear of Raikkonen. |
| 19:21:23
| Robert Kubica moves second fastest for BMW Sauber as Vettel is on his first hot lap of the session. |
| 19:22:54
| A quick lap from Vettel vaults him to the top of the timesheets, half a second clear of Glock. |
| 19:23:25
| This session will see most complete a simulated qualifying run. For some, it may be with race fuel while for others, with a very low fuel load. |
| 19:24:18
| Piquet, Glock and Alonso have pitted. |
| 19:25:54
| Massa is still on his first stint of the session and finds time as he moves second fastest. |
| 19:26:22
| Kovalainen, Hamilton and Coulthard remain in the pits and have not yet set a time. |
| 19:28:09
| Vettel remains fastest as Massa pits. Bourdais is slowly working his way up the order. |
| 19:28:39
| Raikkonen is back out and looking to make gains. |
| 19:29:09
| Heikki Kovalainen heads out for McLaren. |
| 19:30:06
| Just an out lap from Raikkonen who pits again. Most of the front-runners are now in the pits at the mid-way stage of the session. |
| 19:30:48
| Heidfeld and Glock head back out. |
| 19:31:36
| Hamilton joins his McLaren team-mate on track. |
| 19:32:05
| A gain for Heidfeld who moves into the top ten. |
| 19:32:45
| Kovalainen's first lap puts him P6. |
| 19:33:43
| Trulli is slowest at the moment of those to complete a lap. He was slow yesterday too. |
| 19:34:10
| Yesterday's pace-setter Lewis Hamilton is on a timed lap. |
| 19:34:31
| Piquet and Button are back out and looking for gains. |
| 19:35:40
| All change as Piquet moves fastest from former GP2 rival Hamilton. Piquet's time of 1:45.2 is the fastest of the weekend to date. |
| 19:36:18
| No sign of Coulthard since his slow return to the pits with a gearbox problem. |
| 19:37:23
| Vettel is back out in his STR. Kovalainen remains on track and is now on a better lap. |
| 19:37:40
| Webber is now the slowest runner. |
| 19:38:18
| Kovalainen loses time and remains in P8. |
| 19:38:49
| The field is quite spread out with a second covering just the top six. |
| 19:40:22
| The circuit is busy again now with most on track. There are few gains at the moment however although Button just improved before returning to the pit. |
| 19:41:41
| A good lap from Bourdais moves him P5 in the second Toro Rosso. |
| 19:41:58
| Rosberg finds time as well and moves into the top ten. |
| 19:43:13
| Webber finds a huge chunk of time and vaults from the bottom of the timing screen to second fastest behind Piquet. |
| 19:43:47
| Raikkonen has stopped on track. |
| 19:44:41
| Raikkonen has spun his Ferrari and come to a halt and the yellow flags are out. |
| 19:45:32
| The Finn misses his braking point and then stalled so that is the end of the session for him. |
| 19:47:14
| Fisichella has a small off and continues and then has a big off with contact in the Force India. |
| 19:47:58
| The Italian veteran took the kerbing and launched the FI into the wall at quite an angle. That is the end of the session for him with heavy front end damage. |
| 19:48:40
| The yellows are out and after some time the marshalls are at the scene. |
| 19:49:04
| Most are pitting now as the yellows are being waved. |
| 19:51:01
| So turn ten has its first victim with Fisichella in the wall. Only Button and Barrichello on track now with less than ten minutes remaining. |
| 19:51:48
| The Force India has now been removed as Massa heads back out. |
| 19:53:09
| Undoubtedly on a low fuel load, Button moves second fastest. The expeted front-runners may only run with race fuel on board - hence some strange results in this session. |
| 19:53:51
| Webber, Hamilton and others now heading out for a final stint with six minutes remaining. |
| 19:55:05
| Massa moves fastest by the slightest of margins from Piquet. |
| 19:55:33
| Coulthard is out in the Red Bull after repairs. |
| 19:56:51
| The Honda duo have pitted. Alonso is on a fast lap as Kubica moves P4. |
| 19:58:15
| Alonso moves fastest for Renault with Hamilton moving second fastest. That is quite a lap from Alonso on a 1:44.5s. |
| 19:58:36
| All on track but Fisichella and Raikkonen. |
| 19:59:15
| A gain for Rosberg as he moves ahead of Button and into fifth. |
| 19:59:44
| Hamilton pits. |
| 20:00:06
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 20:01:36
| Alonso sets the pace in the final practice session ahead of qualifying with a best time of 1:44.5. Hamilton is second fastest from Massa, Piquet, Rosberg, Button, Kubica, Webber, Vettel and Bourdais. |
