Rosberg was 0.275 seconds quicker than Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, with the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo close behind.
Hamilton failed to complete a clean lap on his qualifying simulation on the ultra-soft tyres and ended up seventh.
He finished his session early because of a recurring hydraulic problem.

Yeah, storming lap from Riccardo, and sulky boy nowhere to be seen after that shocker of a session (no surprise).

Both Red Bulls are starting on the super soft tyres, while everyone around them will be on ultras. Hopefully this will shake the race up a bit; Singapore is a bogey circuit for the Mercedes, and it's not a power circuit.

Didn't see it, not keen on Singapore, too dark.

You kidding? Singapore makes the cars look super-pretty under the lights. The track is a bit processional though. Good race by Seb to come from last to 5th (quali issues). Top 3 finished same order as they started.

Watched it a few times, but it ends up looking like a video game. Prefer the scenic circuits.

There may not be much to look at, but it's a track where the Mercedes cars are at least kept honest, which to me makes it quite valuable in the current era. Sepang next, is much more power-based in the final sector, which I expect will suit them a lot more.
