8:00pm: HISTORY was made at 8pm, with the world's first night race revving off under cool conditions here in Singapore. And what a start pole-sitter Felipe Massa made, opening up a 1 second gap over McLaren's Lewis Hamilton after the first lap.
Looks like it's Massa's chequered flag to lose, with the Marina Bay Street circuit offering precious few overtaking opportunities.
8:26pm: Who says overtaking is impossible in Singapore? A trundling Jarno Trulli is passed spectacularly - first by Nico Rosberg in his Williams, then Fernando Alonso in his Renault and Nakajima.
It's now 13 laps into the Singapore GP, and Massa appears uncatchable. Hamilton remains on his tail, about 3 seconds behind. Massa's Ferrari has caught a bit of debris in the front wing, but it hasn't caused him any trouble - yet.
Meanwhile, Alonso hits the pits first to grab a change of tyres and to refuel.
8:41pm: What a disaster for Felipe Massa. After making a good start, he had a disastrous pit-stop with 44 laps to go. He left the pits with the fuel hose still attached to the car, and was forced to stop at the pit exit while mechanics rushed over to detach it. Total time lost - about two minutes.
We'll have to wait and see how it affects his race, with the safety car still being deployed after Renault's Nelson Piquet's crash a few laps earlier at the floating platform.
Williams' Nico Rosenberg now leads the pack with Toyota's Jarno Trulli second.

9:12pm: Stop-Go penalty - Now it is Rosberg and Kubica's turn to be punished. Rosberg has stopped for 10 seconds.
9:15pm: Lap 29 - Toyota's Jarno Trulli is now ahead of the pack, from 10th on the starting grid.
Lap29 - Red Bull's Mark Webber is out of the race.
Lap 33 - Former world champion Fernando Alonso is the new race leader. He started today in 15th position.
9:25pm: News from the pits - The Ferrari mechanic who was floored during Massa's nightmare pitstop has just been sent to the hospital. The good news is that he is not seriously injured.
Lap 42 - Things are heating up at the Marina Bay circuit. There is a battle brewing between former teammates Alonso and Hamilton, after the Brit stormed to second-place.
9:43pm: Lap 48 - Alonso is going strong, and is a good 16 seconds ahead of his nearest rival Rosberg.
Lap 50 - Force India's Sutil is out of the race after crashing near the floating platform. He is the fourth retirement of the day. The safety car needs to come out again.
9:48pm: Lap 50 - Make that five. Trulli's Toyota fails and he is done for the night.
Lap 54 - With seven more laps to go, Alonso still leads. Four seconds behind is Rosberg.
10:00pm: Reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen is out. He goes into the wall near turn 10, at the end of St. Andrew's Road. Ferrari will not score any points at the Singapore Grand Prix.
