| Welcome to F1-Live.com and live coverage of the second free practice session from Singapore. |
| 21:22:23
| As this event is the first Formula One night event, this second session takes place under the floodlights and based on the earlier action, the circuit seems to be a challenge for all concerned. |
| 21:24:20
| Lewis Hamilton set the pace earlier this evening in his McLaren Mercedes with a best lap of 1:45.518s from Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen and Heikki Kovalainen. McLaren and Ferrari remain the class of the field. |
| 21:26:17
| Mark Webber was the first driver to make contact with the barriers after losing his Red Bull Renault at turn 18 early in the first session. The Australian completed just four laps before the shunt and now has to play catch-up. |
| 21:28:09
| Rubens Barrichello also made contact with the barriers, this time at the final turn as he backed his Honda into the water-filled retaining wall. Hopefully for this session, they will be able to remove the stranded cars with a little more urgency than earlier on. |
| 21:30:30
| The session start has been delayed by two minutes. |
| 21:31:27
| The start is delayed as there are still people on the track. |
| 21:32:08
| It’s fully dark and the second free practice session is now underway. |
| 21:32:45
| So after a short delay, the session is underway as Nico Rosberg makes a practice start and heads out. |
| 21:33:15
| Vettel heads out in his Toro Rosso. |
| 21:33:40
| Kubica, Nakajima, Alonso and others heading out. |
| 21:35:05

| 21:35:28
| The early runners are now on their first timed laps. |
| 21:36:34
| Rosberg runs off track at turn 18. |
| 21:37:15

| 21:37:31
| Alonso sets the early pace from Heidfeld and Nakajima. |
| 21:38:30
| Over half of the field is straight out. |
| 21:39:00
| Rosberg moves fastest from Alonso, Vettel and Heidfeld. |
| 21:39:33

| 21:45:55

| 21:47:30

| 21:49:23

| 21:54:28
| Barrichello is on the soft tyre for his first timed lap. |
| 21:56:21

| 21:57:26
| The circuit is now busy as Piquet locks his brakes and takes to the escape road. |
| 21:59:14
| Bourdais missed the final part of the session earlier presumably with a mechanical problem. Webber's Red Bull is probably still being worked on following his earlier crash. |
| 21:59:47

| 22:00:23
| A slow first lap from Bourdais as he gets the Toro Rosso up to speed. |
| 22:01:04

| Raikkonen has been in the pits for some time now and has not completed many laps. Jenson Button is on track with the soft tyre and moves into the top ten. |
| 22:26:21
| Webber is now in his Red Bull and may well get some running in the final 30 minutes. |
| 22:27:00

| 22:27:30
| A gain for Kovalainen as he moves fourth fastest. |
| 22:28:08
| Raikkonen is out on the soft tyre now after a long period in the pits. |
| 22:28:43
| Raikkonen's Ferrari steps out but he catches the slide and continues. |
| 22:29:45
| Raikkonen and Massa on better laps. |
| 22:31:19
| Massa moves second fastest and is less than three-tenths behind Hamilton. |
| 22:32:25
| Raikkonen's Ferrari does not look well balanced as he is having to work very hard to keep the car on the straight and narrow. |
| 22:33:52
| The circuit remains busy, but there are few gains at the moment. |
| 22:35:04

| Hamilton is out on the soft tyre. |
| 22:53:52

| 22:54:18
