Di Resta on supersofts rushes up to 13th as the last drivers finish off their laps.

SESSION OVER!

Di Resta trying to eke out a little more time on track in these dying moments - no such luck for Button.

Maldonado has missed the turn at 13 - luckily for him, there's enough run-off there to get around without causing the yellow flags to come out.

Hamilton posts a 1:53.5 - it's about a second off where Vettel is lapping. If this is any reflection of how the race will unfold, McLaren are some way off both Red Bull and Ferrari.

Hamilton, who has been ragged in this session, misses the chicane, but manages to get around the back of it without a bruising trip over the kerb.

Vettel finds a 1:52.4, so his pace is holding and even improving as he continues the stint.

Schumacher on his comparable run posts a 1:55 - that's some way off the pace.

Alonso's pace shows no sign of wavering - it certainly looks impressive.

The Renault team tell Petrov that his KERS has failed. Just what you need when your younger, less experienced team-mate is already quicker than you.

Di Resta is in the car and some fuel is being loaded up. Looks like he might get some running time.

Certainly surprising times on the face of it - you'd expect teams to be near full fuel capacity, as Singapore is hard on fuel - but they may not be running comparable loads.

Long run times - Alonso crosses in 1:52.3 (0.5 secs faster than Vettel), Hamilton 1:53.3 (0.5 seconds slower). Good news for Ferrari in the race?

Button-watch - still no sign. Everyone except Button, Alguersuari and Schumacher are out on track.

Webber half a second slower than Vettel on what looks to be the same sort of run. The German just seems to have found that edge almost all-season long.

Practice start for Alonso from the pits.

Vettel around in a 1:52.737, some way off his best time of the day.

Turn 7 exit kerb catches Rosberg out. Another car's floor scraped.
