Welcome to coverage of second practice for this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.

We'll be back with coverage of final practice from 12.00pm UK time on Saturday ahead of qualifying at 3.00pm.

So with no further improvements, Vettel does indeed blow away his rivals. Webber is second from Button, who is over a second off the pace. Alonso is fourth from Hamilton.

Hamilton completes his work with a 1:54, likewise Button with a 1:53.

Vettel is running on track but with heavy fuel - five seconds off his best.

Hamilton has had a nosecone change. Renault's Kubica will attack late on on fresh tyres after a hydraulics problem was rectified.

Massa comes out for one last run.

Alonso back in the pits.

The circuit busy as the teams check over the super-soft tyres for wear.

Germany's Nick Heidfeld is still facing an uncertain future despite agreeing a five-race comeback deal with Sauber.

We're in the heavy fuel period of the weekend now, with little improvement throughout the field.

Downtown Singapore looks majestic in the darkness as the yellow flags are no more. /// Jenson-save-fuel Save-fuel: "The counterclockwise circuit favors drivers like Massa. If it rains during the qualifiers and the race, Schumacher might be on the podium on Sunday."

Malaysian motor sport boss Tony Fernandes will breathe new life into one of motor racing's most emotive marques by renaming his Formula One team as Team Lotus for 2011.

He tries to roll it off track himself - but eventually the stewards leap into action to wheel it away from the passing cars.

Alonso reverses the Ferrari back on to the track - and stalls it!

Alonso fastest through the first sector but is 0.1s down at the end of the second one... and at turn 17 clips a kerb which means he has to go straight on.

Webber six-tenths off Vettel's pace now while Kobayashi runs wide but safely guides the car back to the track. Kovalainen goes straight on at the final corner and brings the car back safely.

Hamilton fifth behind Alonso while Schumacher is ninth ahead of Massa.

Kovalainen with a wobble off track, which at a tight circuit like this is a serious matter - somehow he keeps it on a straight line and misses the looming barriers.

Glock has a problem and will bring the Virgin back to the pits... Webber goes second with 1:47.667, over a second behind Vettel. Two Red Bulls leading the way now.

There's no stopping him - 1:46.660 the latest as the German goes on the charge. Button in second over a second slower than him.
