Right, I think we're done here for now. That was a superb qualifying session and a truly sublime effort by Sebastian Vettel to take his fourth career pole position in Singapore.
The German loves this place and it you'll get short odds on him winning tomorrow and with it re-taking the lead in the world championship.
That said, those Red Bulls clearly cannot be discounted. They topped every practice session and the 0.3s gap to the lead Ferrari might well be the consequence of the Scuderia turning their engine up.
Red Bull clearly fancy their chances in race trim, so tomorrow should be a rare old ding-dong. Bring it on.
We'll have all the build-up for you from 11:30 BST. See you then.

Mercedes go into some strange, mysterious place at this track, and Lewis Hamilton starting fifth is a very painful place for him.
'It feels amazing'published at 15:15 British Summer Time 16 September 2017
Sebastian Vettel, pole position: "It's amazing to gain pole position. I love this track so I'm really pleased.
"The car was amazing and I'm really happy with what I've done today. When you feel the car coming alive, you just feel you can do anything with it.
"We got the car where it deserved to be but it will be a very close race.
"I shouted as loud as ever - it was unbelievable!"

Vettel took pole by three tenths from Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, and by a full half second from team-mate Kimi Raikkonen. Massively impressive by the four-time world champion.

Brilliant performance by Vettel. He's great on this circuit and he's just proved it once again.
Clean, tidy and totally committed. I think Ferrari were playing with their rivals in practice and now they've delivered.

We've just seen a replay of Sebastian Vettel hitting the wall on that quick run - that was a supreme effort by the German driver in the Ferrari.
He's got a record four wins around here - who would bet against him making it five tomorrow?

Ricciardo improves on that final run as well but he stays in third place.
