Mark Webber kept Red Bull on top of the times in final practice for the Singapore Grand Prix, as team-mate Sebastian Vettel had to settle for third place after finding traffic.
Webber’s time of 1:46.081s put him just 0.027 seconds ahead of McLaren’s Jenson Button, who bounced back following a difficult Friday.
Vettel, favourite for another pole position, had a low-key session and finished in third, over two tenths of a second behind Webber. The German, however, was hit by traffic during his best laps.
Fernando Alonso, a two-time winner in Singapore, put his Ferrari in fourth place, with Lewis Hamilton down in fifth place in the second McLaren.
