Alonso sets the pace in first free practice for the Singapore GP.
The Spaniard put together a brilliant lap of 1m49.056s to beat Hamilton by 0.122 seconds, with Nico Rosberg was 0.027s further back in third.
The Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, who had been expected to go well here on account of the RB9’s prodigious downforce, were fourth and fifth fastest, but were much more active than Alonso on track, completing 27 and 21 laps to the Spaniard’s 16.
