2015 Singapore GP: Vettel fastest in 3rd practice

Singapore - Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen set the two fastest times in Saturday's pre-qualifying practice session at the 2015 Singapore GP.

Red Bull drivers Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo were third and fourth respectively, extending the pattern of Friday's practice sessions when the Ferraris and Red Bulls both got the better of the previously dominant Mercedes team.

Lewis Hamilton, who has a strong lead in the drivers' championship, was fifth fastest - ahead of his Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg.

As it happened: 2015 Singapore GP - Third practice

With Ferrari thriving in the hot conditions, and the nimble but power-light Red Bull performing well on the slow street-circuit corners, those teams look capable of ending Mercedes' run of 12 consecutive pole positions this season.
