1204: By the way, big love to the 606-ers, who have come to the 'getting involved' party in a big way. Texts via 81111 are picking up after a slow start. I've now got three - plus a request for Mansun's Wide Open Space which I think was probably meant for Radio 1.

1200: Poor old Fernando Alonso eh? The chiselled Spaniard was flying in practice - only for his Renault to fail him in the second qualifying session yesterday. A fuel supply problem means he'll start a lowly 15th on the grid. Still, at least Nando's looking at the positives... "The race is over for us, finish." Oh.
1157: "I worked out from nozzle times yesterday that Hamilton will pit on lap 17."

1154: According to an F1 boffin, one lap's worth of fuel is worth approximately 0.1secs so, if we assume Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton are the same pace, that means the Englishman can go five or six laps longer before his first stop. So there.
1149: "Good evening from Singapore. Threatening skies the whole afternoon after a sunny morning. No rain yet, although track and ambient temperature will be lower than expected."

1145: Felipe Massa tore up qualifying yesterday, smashing title rival Lewis Hamilton's best effort by six-tenths of a second. Here's the Brazilian's verdict: "Given my margin over the others, with hindsight it's easy to say maybe I could have run with slightly more fuel, but we firmly believe we have a very competitive strategy."
1142: "Hamilton to win! Massa's light and will pit early methinks."

1138: Am I alone in hoping for a quick thunderstorm to mix it up a bit? With over an hour to go before the green light, the current conditions are cloudy and hot - but there is a chance of a downpour later.
1130: I'm not one for soundbites, but I definitely feel the hand of history upon our shoulders today. Singapore makes its F1 debut with the sport's first ever race under floodlights - which could prove crucial to this season's title race. Ooh, I'm all of a quiver.
