Singapore, 20 September –Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen were first and ninth come the end of the final free practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix. In a session where some drivers appeared to be sand-bagging, the Spanish Scuderia Ferrari man did a total of 12 laps, the best in 1.47.299, a time that no one would beat. Raikkonen did 16 laps, the best of which was a 1.48.226, which was good enough for ninth on the time sheet.
All the drivers set their best time on the Supersoft tyre which Pirelli is supplying along with the Soft. The gap between the two compounds however seems to be smaller now than yesterday. This could be down to the drop in temperatures for air and track and also because some rain fell on the Marina Bay circuit this morning.
Between the two Ferraris are the two Red Bulls of Ricciardo in second, Vettel in fifth, with the Mercedes of Rosberg, 3rd and Hamilton 6th. The Williams of Massa and Bottas were 7th and 8th, with Vergne fourth for Toro Rosso. Qualifying is at 21h00 (15h00CET)
