  1. But first, a little breaking news

    Sergio Perez is to stay at Force India for a fifth consecutive season in 2018.

    The 27-year-old, who had been in the frame for a Renault drive before the French team committed to Carlos Sainz, said staying was an "easy decision".

    Perez said: "Staying with Force India was always my priority. The team have allowed me to show my talents as a driver and I feel very happy here."

    The Mexican added: "I'm proud of everything we have achieved and I think there is more to come."

  2. Good morning

    Hello and welcome along to live text and radio coverage of the Singapore Grand Prix, race 14 of 20 in a keenly contested 2017 campaign.

    Championship leader Lewis Hamilton has a real challenge from fifth on the grid, even more so with title rival Sebastian Vettel on pole after a simply spellbinding performance in qualifying yesterday.

    Throw into the mix some rapid Red Bulls, a little uncertainty over the weather and the small matter of racing under floodlights at night, and you have all the ingredients for a classic race.

    Here's hoping.

    Ninety minutes until lights out.
