Welcome to our LIVE coverage of F1 qualifying from the Singaporean Grand Prix.

That's officially the closest qualifying of the season - Ricciardo third, Vettel fourth, Alonso fifth, Massa sixth and Raikkonen seventh.

AMAZING FROM HAMILTON! He locked it up early on in the first corner, but absolutely nailed the rest of the lap in rare style - and trumps Rosberg by 0.007! Incredible qualifying session here in Singapore!

Rosberg fastest! He's done Ricciardo by 2 tenths...

Hamilton loses it! Locks up his brakes, and his chance has gone, surely?

Fantastic lap from Ricciardo! 1:45.854! That's up with Rosberg's from Q2...

Ricciardo once again on a lovely lap - within thousandths of Massa going into the final sector...

Disaster for Raikkonen! Well, not disaster, but huge power loss - he crawls into the pits now, but his problems have also meant neither Alonso nor Hamilton had a proper, full-speed out lap. Could prove crucial.

Ye gads - Alonso and Hamilton dealing with all sorts of traffic from the looks of it on their out laps.

Hamilton now goes out too - as does Fernando Alonso, right behind the Mercedes.

Daniel Ricciardo goes back out onto the circuit for his second flying lap - Rosberg right behind him, and Vettel on Rosberg's tailpipe.

Rosberg also went off the racing line, driving straight over the kerbs on one of the chicanes. Is the championship pressure taking its toll?

Hamilton messed up his middle sector in that lap - Alonso also looked good until a late error in his lap as well. Loads of pressure now on Hamilton and Rosberg, and Hamilton asking for 'more front wing' on the radio.

Hamilton and Rosberg both struggle! 6th and 7th respectively! Massa absolutely ripped that lap to shreds, Ricciardo right behind him, then Alonso and Raikkonen. No Mercs in the top 5!

Hamilton and Raikkonen both off to good starts on their flying laps - Massa has set a cracking 1:46 dead to go quickest so far though, and Raikkonen third.

Red Bull's Ricciardo is the first man who'll set a flying lap at Yas Marina...

Rosberg's lap at the end of Q2 shows that Mercedes have probably been driving well within themselves all weekend - but Ferrari look quick and as if they have a chance of getting a car on the front row for the first time this season.

Q3 gets going - and the pits empty in moments.

All the drivers in the cars with air-conditioning hoses pointed right at them - looks like they'll be queueing up at the line to get going in Q3 to fit their two laps in.

That lap will be a huge boost for Rosberg ahead of Q3 - though as we noted before, Hamilton's flying lap looked as ragged as a charity shop teddy bear. He's easily got half a second more in the tank if he hooks it all up properly.

Rosberg shows his class! More or less the last man over the line, Rosberg out-does Hamilton's Q2 time by a full half second. He'll have one less set of new tyres in Q3, but seems finally to have nailed his lap strategy in these conditions.
